what was the last movie you watched?
- Thread starter Folsom Al
- Start date
Just finished watching Green Book, thanks to a surprise free weekend from Showtime. The movie wasn't anything like what I expected...but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I needed something that shows the human spirit in a good light right now. I didn't realize it was a true story until the credits rolled. I've saved it on my DVR - I think I'll watch it again.
Ok...just watched these 2 movies today
Captive State......meh....interesting take on alien take over but overall meh....yes I watch lots of sci fi
The Commuter with Liam Neeson.....and this is typical Liam Neeson movies now. Not terribly deep, solve a mystery, his family is in trouble and lots of action. Yeah, I liked it. Amazing how many different ways they can use him in the same formula but with different settings

After Contagion to kick off the week, we watched Outbreak last night. Lord what a stupid movie. It starts off pretty promising but goes full Hollywood pretty quick and culminates in dueling generals, one dead set on not-quite-nuking a town. On the bright side, it's all fluff, and not real genuine end of the world stuff like Contagion or hell even the Planet of the Apes reboot. But lord is it stupid.
But staring down the end of the world recommend kind of stupid.

I'm catching up on a lot of movies I just never got around to watching since Showtime and TMC are now free. Just finished watching Winchester. That house has always intrigued me. When I was little my grandmother took me there. This was before they had restored a lot of it and brought back a lot of the furnishings. Even at a young age and without knowing the story of the house, it gave me goosebumps.
Seven Pounds - I love Will Smith and I don't know how I missed this one. I'm finding out during this shelter-at-home time that I'm watching more movies that move me emotionally. Same for the music I'm listening to. Maybe I'm not the only one? Maybe this quiet time is a way for all of us to be a little more introspective for a change.
Watched Shutter Island the other day. An older movie with Leonardo DiCaprio And supporting cast including Michelle Williams. Thought it was solid.
So at the end of the movie during credits there is a song that plays. It’s by Max Richter who I learned does many of the classical pieces in movies and shows including The Leftovers. In this piece he adds the vocals from Dinah Washington on the song Bitter Fruit. It was so good I downloaded from iTunes. Very moving. And now I know who Max Richter is and who Dinah Washington is.
