What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I saw Jules last week at the theater. It is a study in aging with a twist. Ben Kingsley plays an elderly man with the beginnings of dementia that has a space ship land in his back yard. So, of course no one believes him. Yes, the premise is crazy but the way he and a couple of his elderly friends react to the event, keep it quiet and nurture the alien is touching and at times downright funny. I was one of probably 10 Seniors in the movie and everyone was laughing. Nice to be around other people laughing for a change. The cast was great.

 

Had a snooze after dinner. Not surprised after needing to get up at 7am for appointments. So, now rested and all quiet, watched the following films.

National Treasure
National Treasure 2
Percy Jackson: Lightening Thief currently
 
"The Pope's Exorcist" Based on real person. Russel Crowe does great job as usual.

Of course it led me to research the real Priest. Will keeping eyes open for inexpensive copies of his two books. They are expensive on Amazon right now due to the movie. The snippet i was able to read there was interesting.

We don't have a big collection, maybe about 2 dozen. But each one is "favorite"!!!!

Right now we are watching a TV show called The Last Kingdom.......I'm totally enjoying it!

I have lived in a forest for 36 years where we cleared it for very similar projects.
 
Watching Brit series, "Innocent" with Lee Ingleby... normally I find him too "ferret-faced" (and I dislike a lot of the characters he plays, such as John Baccus on the series "George Gently") but in this series, he really does a good job of bringing the character to life. Freed after seven years from prison and maintaining his innocence in the murder of his wife, he gives a very convincing performance-- keeps you guessing: is he guilty and a first class manipulator or is he innocent and simply struggling with the enormity of all that's happened to him? Gripping viewing...
