What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Child 44
Serial killer targets young boy...during the Stalin era where there was no crime in Russia...
Policeman tries to investigate murders, difficult as he has to do it not attracting his superiors notice-how to investigate
crime if there is no crime in Russia?

(Also depicts of the pressure to denounce people in the Stalin Era-the policeman's wife has been denounced as a spy. If he too does not denounce her there will be repercussions. He chooses not to denounce his spouse; shipped to Siberia, stripped of rank...
This was secondary plot, but far more interesting that the search for the serial killer.)

Movies is grubby, life is daily struggles and always the suspicion that you will be denounced and carried off to gulag .
He finds killer... I was much more interested in the depictions of people fear of being reported as anti-revolutionaries.

What channel?
 
I did a search on Netflix for a movie and they didn't have it but recommended others. The one I chose is called I'm Thinking of Ending Things. It was certainly different than most I've seen and I found that refreshing.

It seems it's about a girl and a guy who get together. She has her doubts about him but he seems beyond interested.

It's a poetic type of movie as best as I can describe. I thought it was excellent.

Oh, Yes...daughter and i watched it yesterday. Very good. Unfortunately would be breaking rules to give any kind of synopsis since it is social & political satire. Can say main antagonist is an asteroid big enough to destroy most life on earth and maybe planet itself. Yet it is comedy, full of laughs if you like spot on satire.
 
Will occasionally during lazy evenings try and find some obscure free online sci-fi movie on youtube I may have missed. Most are not worth mentioning. What I will relate herein is, I AM NOT GOING TO SEE THE NEW SPIDERMAN MOVIE despite the fact news media is blabbering away about it. In fact go out of my way to avoid all comic book, super hero, fantasy, movies...yawn

Same here; I just can't get into the superhero movies. One exception, though: Unbreakable starring Bruce Willis, Robin Wright and Samuel L. Jackson; one of those kind of thoughtful superhero movies, I guess; even if you're not a fan of any of those actors, movie is still good IMO.

i'm not into the comic universe ones either, but i think Unbreakable is more appealing because of the way the story told.

And thank you for reminding me i need to see if any of streaming services have the final chapter of that trilogy--Glass. Split was 2nd.

The story of Ray Charles - last night. It was a very good movie, by the way.

It was very good! Foxx did an excellent job.

Today or tomorrow i plan on watching 'Respect' the story of Aretha Franklin. One of Christmas gifts from daughter. She's well aware how i feel about Ms. Franklin, who's music was the soundtrack of my 'wild oats' days.
