Movies Recently Watched

Yesterday was free popcorn for old people day at the theatre so we went to see “The Amateur”

I thought it was very good

I’m looking forward to The Accountant 2 loved the first one

 

Not a documentary it's a movie with a plot based on true events.

 

Only one Leslie Nielson (who made me laugh out loud in every old B&W drama he appeared in after watching Airplane and Naked Gun movies) but Liam in a slapstick comedy, as you said Ray, should be interesting. Hilarious response when Nordberg's son looked at his Dad's picture on the wall. Wonder if the USC Marching Band makes an appearance?

 

We went to see The Amateur last night. Pretty good flick. I didn't realize it, but it's a remake. Also based on a book.

It isn't something people are going to still be talking about a couple of years from now, but it was a good, enjoyable vigilante/spy movie.

 

Best horror movie I've seen this year is a 2022 Australian horror movie called Talk to Me

 

Watched a 2024 Horror movie last night called Never Let Go, with Halle Berry (she's still fine, even when they are not trying to make her that way)....It gave me big vibes of the 2001 Bill Paxton, and Matthew McConaughey movie Frailty (don't know if any of You have seen that), anyways it was pretty good, but it left you wondering, just like Frailty did. Anyone seen it???

 

I did not know that. (Johnny Carson said that a lot) I forgot about The Accountant. Good movie. Not a big Affleck fan but liked him in this and The Sum of all Fears. (great novel) I'll be checking this out.

 

My Penguin Friend

This is not a rock em sock ‘em bang up movie but if you are an old softy regarding critters this movie will hit your heart

 

If animals die in it, I don't want to see it. I don't pay money to cry. LoL

 

Actually just the opposite he saves one

But you will still cry

Give it a try

 

1st thing that turns me away from a movie, or book is the statement......It will make You cry. LoL
I would tell my ex ole lady's all the time, because they love that stuff.....why do I want to pay for something that makes me cry??? LoL

 

Happy tears

The Onion Field made me cry. Wambaugh wrote some real tear-jerker books and screenplays.

I never heard of it before You told me.

 

I've never seen it.

 

Want me to tell you again

A man named Otto

Kind of a kinder, gentler Walt Kowalski without the Gran Torino. Good movie though!
