What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Belfast, on HBO. Slice of life living in N. Ireland in the sixties. I forgot how awful it was for people there. Good movie focusing on one family. Small, well acted role for Dame Judy Dench, she's always fine

Just watched Thirteen Lives (Amazon Pr. Video original), about the Thai boys trapped in the cave and the rescue efforts in 2018; excellent.

I just added that to my watch list. Thanks for the suggestion!

You’re very welcome, it’s an excellent movie.

I forgot to add in my previous reply, one of my favorite scenes (among many, heck all) of Thirteen Lives has to do with bamboo.

I watched Go Back To China about a spoiled Chinese American young woman who loses her trust fund because of the way she is living and her father makes her move to China and work in his toy factory. I enjoyed it. Amazon Prime.

Then watched The Group which has many stars in their earlier years, Candace Bergen and Joan Hackett and more. About eight Vassar graduates who graduated in 1933 and how their lives changed in the years before World War II. 1966 I liked it. Amazon Prime.

Oh I loved 'The Group' @katlupe! The movie, but especially the book by Mary McCarthy. I think she was Kevin's sister?

eta
Yes, sister & brother

I just checked on Amazon and see the book. I have been thinking of getting a library card at my library (across the street) and maybe they have it. Sounds like a book I would like. Books are always better than the movies!

 

[Pepper]

Yes, yes, of course get a library card @katlupe! I highly recommend the book!

Saw "Prey", the prequel to "The Predator". Set 300 years ago, amongst native americans, a Comanche woman was the main human. I gotta say, it was fantastic! Only one hour, 40 minutes so it was lean & mean. Really exciting. On Hulu. No ads! I have Hulu with ads, but there were no ads! which just added unbroken reality.

I highly recommend it

TV is pretty dire at present, and I refuse to pay for any subscription channels. We dug out an old, but very entertaining DVD called "Bend it like Beckham". It's about an Indian girl who, much to her parent's disapproval, want's to play in top league women's football.

Me too, great movie; if a movie version of Stephen Graham Jones' novel My Heart is a Chainsaw (book one of the Lake Witch series) ever gets made, I want Amber Midthunder to play the lead, she's great!

Message In A Bottle

A woman discovers a tragic love letter in a bottle on a beach, and is determined to track down its author.

Paul Newman, Kevin Kostner

 

[officerripley]

The Black Phone, Peacock original, based on the book by Joe Hill; not my usual cuppa and started kind of slow and depressing, and even once it got going not for everyone, but we really liked it, the 2 young actors (Mason Thames & Madeline McGraw) who played the brother and sister are super-good.

Last night on Netflix, we watched Woman In Gold, starring Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren. It was a true story about a woman trying to get back a painting that belonged to her family that was seized by the Nazi's. It ended up in the Austrian museum for over 50 years. Excellent movie.

 

[officerripley]

Speaking of Helen Mirren, we watched The Duke, on XFinity On Demand, starring her and Jim Broadbent, based on a true story about a taxi driver who stole a painting of the Duke of Wellington in 1961; very good.
