What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

It's not a movie but I've been watching the series called After Life. It's on Netflix. It's kind of gloomy at times but I really like it and will continue.

We watched Nobody this evening. It was okay. Basically, if you like Liam Neeson action movies, you'll like this one.

Well, Liam pauses to do a bit of thinking before he starts slaughtering folks/
He seemed to pause before he committed himself to killing folks in "A walk Among the Tombstone."

Nobody is often compared to John Wick since they have a similar tone (mostly gritty with tongue in cheek moments). Both ex assassins who have killed countless people.
The first Taken is more grounded. Liam's character is a retired CIA agent who's probably killed less than 5 people before the movie starts. I don't count or even remember most of the movies that come after as they have really gone off the rails after that and turned into unintentional comedy.

I saw "The Green Knight". It was intriguing, lush and mysterious but darned if I could figure out what was going on most of the time.

I was going to mention this but saw your message. It's in my top three best movies in 2021. For anyone else, don't read below if you haven't watched it.

So basically it's a series of tests conjured up by Sir Gawain's mom to toughen him up while also gauging his moral compass in which he ends up failing just about every one of them. These are also a few characters who act as guidance as a way for her to directly speak to him without revealing her true intentions, to make him think twice. When he meets The Green Knight, instead of making good of his promise, he runs away. Later we see how everything in his life has gone wrong, right up until his ultimate demise, which also turns out to be a vision of what would have happened had he not changed his ways. He finally realizes all the bad things he's done and accepts his faith and the movie ends. But there is a short scene after the credits where we see a child playing in the background, presumably his so we can safely assume that he doesn't die and returns home, having learned his lessons, a changed man. It's mom's elaborate scared straight pranks after all.

I finished the short 3 seasons. I loved it. It's about a man named Tony who loses his wife of 25 years to Cancer. The story shows what he acts like while suffering the loss and how his life goes after that. It's also about how he touches others' lives. Very good series.
 
Not a movie but a Netflix British Limited Series--I watched the whole thing last night and early this morning--Stay Close--I enjoyed it even though there were some gory scenes. I found it to be well written, complex, fairly fast moving. It starts out about a woman who changes her name to get away from her past and it gets very, very interesting IMO.
 
The classic Say Anything with John Cusack and Ione Syke. Even if you have never seen this movie most people at least know of the scene of the John Cusack character Lloyd Dobbler holding the boom box over his head outside of the Diane Court's(Ione Syke) bedroom window with the Peter Gabriel song "In Your Eyes" playing.
 
I watched The Pink Cloud at the theater today. It is a Brazilian movie with subtitles. It was fascinating.

The premise is that a pink cloud appears and when it makes contact with people they die within 10 seconds. During the entire movie the world is in lockdown and we follow the couple who met one day prior to the lockdown. It really explores human interaction and the reaction to being forced into solitude. It is eerie that this movie was produced in 2019, prior to Covid, but it is spot on in the various psychological responses to being forced to stay inside for an extended period of time.

I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much had Covid not happened, but I loved it!

 
Casino Royale (007) with Daniel Craig on Netflix. We have the whole set but I was too pooped to try to pick out anything so, even though we've seen it several times, it's always an entertaining movie. Hated the latest 007 movie, No Time To Die. Won't be adding that one to our collection.

While I don't hate No Time To Die, it sure doesn't even come close to Casino Royale, in terms of story, characters and action.
 
For those of you who like wholesome Dog movies
This film follows on from A Dog's Purpose but is still a stand alone movie.

A Dog's Journey​

Bailey is living the good life on the Michigan farm of his boy, Ethan and Ethan's wife Hannah.
He even has a new playmate: Ethan and Hannah's baby granddaughter, CJ.
The problem is that CJ's mom, Gloria, decides to take CJ away.
As Bailey's soul prepares to leave this life for a new one, he makes a promise to Ethan to find CJ and protect her at any cost.
Thus begins Bailey's adventure through many lives filled with love, friendship, and devotion.
 
On Netflix I watched the movie called Dangerous Lies. It's a pretty good, mysterious movie about a couple that goes through a whole lot. The wife gets a job as a caregiver and strange things happen after that.
