What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

The Diplomat - NF. Totally hooked after episode one. Have seen two, that‘s the maximum for an evening. This is the American TV series, not the one set in Barcelona.
 

Ali. It's a good example of a bad movie. Too bad too because there was so much potential. I wanted to learn about Mohamed Ali's youth and amateur career but it started when he took the tittle from Sonny Liston.
 
I watched Play Misty For Me a few nights ago. I'd never seen it before (or just can't remember seeing it). Good movie! One of the few Clint Eastwood movies where he doesn't play a tough guy.
 
Just finished this and was surprised at how good it was! I really enjoyed it. A movie like this can go either way and so I was leery of spending $6 to rent it from Prime, but it was worth it.

Fun Monster Movie, well suited for the current social climate.

 
Catfight on Netflix. Based 9n 2 women who don't really get along, It escalates to them beating the daylights 9ut 9f each other. I thought it was pretty ok.
 
I watched Joyland at our local Indie theater. It is a Pakistani film with subtitles about a Pakistani man who is a "house husband" with a wife who has a successful career. He is belittled by his father because he doesn't contribute to the household, so he finds work at a theater as a backup dancer. His wife is forced to stay home due to a family decision.

He falls in love with a transgender dancer at the theater. Needless to say, the ending doesn't turn out well and is quite sad. It was banned in Pakistan for a period but later released. It received award at the Cannes Film Festival. It was a thought-provoking movie.

 
The Last Ship, I Finished series one and am now on to series2, an excellent U.S.A-made series, imagine if Covid could have been this bad, does not worth thinking about!!
 
I watched Airport '77 last night. I'd never seen that one. It was decent. There were several sub-plots that didn't go anywhere, and it made you wonder why they even bothered to put them in, but with an all-star cast and interesting characters, it was worth watching.
 
The Highwaymen on Netflix sets the record straight on Bonnie and Clyde, the killer couple of crime romanticized in the popular 1967 movie (“they’re young…they’re in love…and they kill people”). There’s no whitewashing of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow here, who did kill 13 people, including several lawmen. Bonnie Parker may have written poetry, but she, like Clyde, were lost dark souls, and as lethal as rattlesnakes.

Told from the unflinching perspective of the two former Texas rangers who came out of retirement to end the crime spree, Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson are convincing and nuanced in roles originally intended for Robert Redford and Paul Newman before Newman’s cancer put the project in mothballs for many years. The film has a great period flavor, and really sets the record straight on the infamous crime duo of the 1930’s. When Bonnie and Clyde died in a hail of bullets, the film shows us that it was inevitable and necessary…

I saw that as well; it was excellent.
 
I watched Germinal this evening on Prime Video.

Germinal is a 1993 French epic film based on the 1885 novel by Émile Zola. It was directed by Claude Berri, and stars Gérard Depardieu, Miou-Miou and Renaud. At the time it was the most expensive movie ever produced in France. It was the fourth most attended film of the year in France.

It won the César Award for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design, and was nominated for Best Film, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best director, Best Writing, Best Sound, Best Editing, Best Music and Best Production Design. The film was selected as the French entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 66th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.

The film, set in the nineteenth century, closely follows the plot of the novel, which is a realistic story of a coalminers' strike in northern France in the 1860s.
