What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I listened to a podcast about the real life story on which this movie was based, @Medusa. (It's my favorite podcast, called Against the Odds. They retell true stories of survival in narrative form, sort of like a novel, with sound effects and everything. I always listen when I make the 4-hour [one-way] drive to see my older daughter. I actually enjoy the drive now.)

I'll have look for this movie.

The movie was great! :)

Thank you for telling me about this podcast as it's just the kind of thing I like to listen to when I need to be drawn away. I've got it on my Spotify now. :)

ETA: They have it add-free on Audible. Awesome!

I watched Denial last night on Netflix, which is extremely apropos for these times but also a little depressing. Still, it had good characters and was well directed and acted.

IMO anything that the great Timothy Spall is in, is worth watching. I'm sure his role here was unpopular, but then again so was Frederic March's in Inherit the Wind (1960). Spall wowed me in 2014's Mr. Turner (about the English painter J.M.W Turner.

There's already been so much written about it that I won't go into detail.

I have to clarify this; what I meant was, everyone has probably seen Casablanca, so details would be superfluous. 🙃

I just saw Platoon. Wow. I'm probably one of the last people here to have watched that, too!

Now I'm ready for something light. In the past few weeks I've seen Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, and a 1947 Russian documentary on the Nuremberg trials that was truly gruesome. (Casablanca was a nice break, even though it's set in WWII.)

Time to switch it up a bit! Something silly, I think, or at least lighthearted.

I watched Michael (2026 film)

Description:

It follows the early life of American singer Michael Jackson, covering the period from his
involvement in the Jackson 5 in the 1960s to the Bad tour in the late 1980s.

My Daughter and I never argue. I mean never.
She got mad at me on the phone because I watched the movie.
She says that it is not right that they never mention him being a pedophile and that he bought his way out of that.
She said she refuses to watch it.

I said, the Movie clearly states that is about his early life from the 1960s to the 1980s,
and that she did not even watch it, so how would she know, also that it is still disputed
whether or not the facts about the children are true or if they were just after his money.
I admit he had some issues but I am not sure about all the other stuff.
I think he was talented and one of a kind.

She was really angry.

The coversation with my Daughter ruined the movie experience for me.
It is your choice if you want to watch it or not.
