What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Appoclypse Now. It was a big deal when it came out, but I was not enthralled as everyone else when I saw it the first time. I watched the first 50 minutes again last night and turned it off. It had some interesting visuals during the time I watched, but the dialog was monotonous and the movie seemed pointless, maybe in line with pointlessness of Vietnam. But an interesting thing that few would have noticed at the time it was released was that Harrison Ford had a bit part near the beginning. He was a general's assistant and not necessary to the film. The part was so insignificant that no one would have bothered wondering who he was. He was mostly an extra with a couple of lines.
 

John,

I really enjoyed Old Henry, too. I L❤️VE westerns! I watched "Nobody" a few weeks ago. I'm a fan of Bob Odenkirk. Do you watch his show, "Better Call Saul"? A prequel to "Breaking Bad", before Jimmy McGill became known as Saul Goodman? It's in it's last season.

Watched the 1990 film "Caroline" - about a woman who had supposedly died from a plane crash and comes back to her father and stepmother 14 years later to claim her inheritance. Detectives were put on her case to make sure she was the real Caroline. She becomes attached to the two children in the story and tries to help them. Excellent acting by everyone. The little girl was amazing. Very good movie, and beautiful ending!
 
I have to watch the current feeds on YouTube. They have reduced the quality, and have a "new wave" of very cheap movies. Very good older actors sometimes take a part in them. I saw one lately with Alec Guinness in it. This one is example of a pretty good one. Good acting, and quirky/fun plot.

Boogie Man​

Boogie Man - A British-Indian teenager struggles with his cultural heritage in modern-day London, falling for a white, 20-something actress/model during a 1970s-themed exhibition, and becoming obsessed with both her, the fashion and music of a seemingly more glamorous 70's era, all the while trying to keep his family's Indian traditionalism and the impending responsibilities of adulthood at bay. 2018. Stars: Simone Ashley, Nick Moran, Ramon Tikaram

 
I finished the series about Mussolini last night. It was a semi-sympathetic look at him during his time in power in that they made him look like a decent guy to some extent. He wasn't the monster that Hitler was, according to the series, although he did rape a female reporter in one scene. I'm waiting on a biography about Mussolini from the local library so I can get the full story.

Thanks for the recommendation @palides2021 I would love to have the lead characters wardrobe!
 
We watch a movie every night, either on Netflix, Prime or from our own collection. Regular tv stinks so for the last several years, it's popcorn (literally) and a movie every night.

We've watched a LOT of movies. Some great, some good, and some not so good.

Last night we watched on Prime a cute Canadian made movie called, No Clue. It was a comedy/mystery and quite enjoyable. I'd recommend it if you want a lighthearted movie.

The night before we watched a disappointing movie on Netflix called "The Last Thing He Wanted" with Ben Affleck and Anne Hathaway. Good cast. Terrible movie. Ben Affleck looked terrible. Don't waste 2 hours on it.

The night before that we watched The Red Sea Diving Resort on Netflix. It's based on a true story and stars Chris Evans (Captain America). Highly recommend it.
 
In the mood for a light comedy and grabbed ' We're No Angels ' the 1955 one, from the shelf.
( had it in the 'Christmas' section instead of my 'Bogie' one )

Stars Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray, Peter Ustinov, Basil Rathbone and others.
That alone should indicate a good movie and it delivers.
Well written and the pairing of the three lead characters is top notch.
Worth spending the time watching.
( also streaming on Pluto TV )
