What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I watched Good Boy last night, thinking it was a horror/thriller, because that is what it is presented as, and it wasn't. It was sad. And not the cathartic let's-have-a-good-hard-cry sad, like Terms of Endearment or Steel Magnolias. It was depressing-sad. Ugh. I will definitely be looking for something lighter to watch next. I wouldn't recommend this one.

I agree about it; I thought it'd be satisfying to watch a good doggie kick some ghost or evil being's butt but you're right: it was just depressing.

Loved that movie!

I saw Bring Her Back the other day; it was good but very gruesome in parts. I hate blood and gore, so that kind of put a damper on it for me. But overall I liked it, though it was a bit dark. Bring Her Back - Wikipedia

If you might be looking for a comedy, one couldn't do better than the 1972 screwball comedy, What's Up, Doc? starring Ryan O'Neal and Barbara Streisand. I've watched it a half dozen times, and it still breaks me up.
It can be watched for free here: What's Up, Doc? 1972
 
Watched a movie called "Baby Blue" from 2023.

As you know, I watch mainly horror flicks. Even the bad ones. This one wasn't very good, and there's nothing to recommend it.
 

And I just finished something called "Icefall", from 2025.

Not a horror, but a thriller. Trouble is, this is essentially a re-imagining of Stallone's Cliffhanger from 1993. Stallone's version is much better.

I actually walked out of the theater at the half way point at which it wasn't sad or depressing, but just not going anywhere. It was just a dog running around doing dog stuff. Smelling this or that, hearing a sound that gets his attention, etc. It was starting to get a little creepy when I left, but I had enough by then, and just lost interest. I didn't know where it was going, but I could see the possible outcome that I would not enjoy. I left feeling it just wasn't worth it.
 
Paperback Hero. Australian free

In the heart of the Australian outback, rugged roadtrain driver Jack Willis hides an unlikely secret — he’s the nation’s hottest new romance novelist. To keep his macho reputation intact, he publishes under the name of his best friend, Ruby Vale. But when a glamorous publisher arrives to meet the mysterious “Ruby,” Jack’s charade spirals out of control. Teaming up for mutual benefit, Jack and Ruby head to Sydney to keep the lie alive — only to find themselves tangled in unexpected fame, heartfelt confessions, and a love story that’s no longer confined to the page.

 
Death of a Unicorn. It was pretty good, a bit bloody for my taste, but definitely something different. It was sort of a cross between satire and thriller. I liked it.

I also just watched this short film on YouTube that Sean Lennon flagged on his X account: I actually cried while I was watching, especially toward the end. It's only 10 minutes long, but I'm posting the link here because I think it's worth a watch.

WAR IS OVER! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko - The Academy Award® winning Animated Short​


 
I just finished watching The Captive.
