A Quiet Place

Wasn't as scary as it was made out to be, it only got me at a couple jump scare points. The creepiest part of the movie was the fact that I was the only person in the theater and at two points a theater employee came in and walked halfway up the stairs, looked around and then left.

A soft recommend.

Solo

Fun Star Wars story but it didn't capture Han Solo's character to me at all. He was far to idealistic for Han and there were times when he came off as completely disingenuous to me. I also wanted to punch his smug-smiling face. I generally liked the story line and other characters though. Donald Glover totally nails Lando and I enjoyed Emilia Clarke in it, too.

It comes off as the first in a series which is what it would have to be in order for me to buy Han's character.

A recommend for Donald Glover and Emilia Clarke.

Nothing But the Truth (2008)



excellent movie. I can't believe I only watched it now. wah wah

GIFTED 2017'
Amazing movie!
If you watched this movie you must do it.... At the beginning the acting - is great! Mary (Grace Mckenna) is a special, gifted child who solves complex math problems, this little girl is just amazing and i won't mention about Chris Evans who plays her uncle and he's fantastic in this role.. he's not my favourit actor but here he does great job. And of course  must be here an animal too... one-eyed, red cat Fred. This movie is about math and or above all about true life choices and true love.... the love and sense of family that Mary and her uncle Frank have. Anyway you can have here the whole look of emotions.. you can laugh, cry or feel anxious. So, the all characters are awesome and every single one of them... and of course a plot!
You have to watch it!!!

"The Shape of Water" I loved the theme of the disabled woman and the amphibian man falling in love. Just loved the movie. Sally Hawkins was pretty cute. The characters were very endearing, except one messed up, creepy character.

I saw the trailer when it came out; at the time, it enraged me more than any other trailer I had seen in a long time.

Here’s what I said at the time:

Quote:It may not seem like much, but here's the thing; this girl's got this amazing intellectual gift, and this woman from a special school discovered this and wants to put her into a special place where her gifts can be nurtured. And she's the bad guy because her dad promised his dead wife he'd give her a normal life, someplace where she will be surrounded by people she will come to see as idiots, likely becoming a target for bullying by other kids who don't like that she's actually got a functioning brain, unlike them.

It enrages me because I wound up in a similar situation; I learned to read before I was potty trained, and an IQ test I took at the age of 5 or 6 said I had an IQ of 176 (and it's the Weschler, as far as I can tell), but because my mother insisted that I go to a Lutheran school, specifically her old grade school, where the teachers simply weren't able to cope with someone who, in the first grade, could read a book without having to trace the words with my finger and the students treated me like some sort of Untermensch because I wasn't like them. I bear scars, both physical and mental, to this day. And they're expecting me to root for a Dad subjecting his own daughter to something so close to that?

And it turns out that the trailer really failed to represent the movie at all, since the Dad (actually the uncle) actually does have some idea of what Grandma has in mind, and That’s why he took such pains to try and spare her it.

My therapist convinced me to see it, and I was not disappointed.

'Blackthorn', a 2011 film with Sam Shepard.  The premise is that Butch Cassidy, now in his sixties, survived the shootout in Bolivia.  He is making plans to go back to the US to meet his son for the first time when he get embroiled in a robbery/manhunt.

Not bad, not great.  The cinematography was breathtaking (never knew Bolivia was so goddamed pretty), the flashbacks were kind of annoying, and the writing was better than the acting.  6/10.

Boru

I just watched Deadpool again. Fucking love that movie.
'If your left leg is x-mas and your right leg is New Year's Eve, can I visit you between the holidays?'
Something like that, didn't pick it up the first time, made me laugh. :-)

"...can I eat between the holidays..."

Other than his sexy tight outfit, Deadpool is overrated.

I honestly didn't laugh when I watched the first movie. Not sure why, except that maybe the humor eluded me.

I laughed until I cried at some points.
