What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

1917. Spoilers ahead.

Solid but nothing special tbh. I liked the first 30 minutes or so quite a bit. The “continuous shot“ felt original. Rope is the only other movie I’ve seen with so many long takes. The two leads are relative no names which I liked. There was a sense of realism in that. But after a while the novelty wore off. There’s really not much story there and there’s virtually no feel to it. There’s a major issue with time imo as well and for those reasons as solid as it was, I couldn’t give it higher than a 7/10.

I saw "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" over the weekend. I never watched Mr Rogers and knew very little about the show other than his sweater and the song. Tom Hanks was great and I liked the movie, except...

I get tired of the storyline of the horrible father who abuses or abandons his child (BTW, not Mr Rogers' storyline but someone he is helping). Later the father wants to reconnect with the grown child, and that child is the bad guy for not forgiving his father and welcoming him with open arms. The child is the one who needs to be fixed in these stories, and then it all ends happily ever after. Where's the story of the child who gets to stay away from the father because they dont need toxic people in their lives? Yeah, this might be a bit personal.

I’m with ya here... not dad but step dad... why am I the bad guy for ignoring him now... why do I have to reach out and be cool when he was an asshat to me all the time... **** Mr. Rogers man!
 
Ford v Ferrari was pretty good. A bit overhyped as Ive heard people say it should be considered for a few oscars but it was a fun movie, Bale and Damon were good as always. Cars were very cool. the 2.5 hour run time didnt seem too long at all. Good movie.

Sidenote it was really funny watching Batman fight Jason Bourne as fat middle aged dads in a slap fight.
 
I hope it's not in poor taste to post a complete film. It's only a little over 16 minutes, a short film. I think it played at the Rhode Island International Film Festival in 2014. It's become one of the top such festivals in the United States, as entries are eligible for the Academy Awards and other major awards. We have a local PBS station that broadcasts weekly selections from that festival. Thursday nights. I missed the start of this film, and had to hope I could spell the name of the actress, and find the name of the short film that way. I did one better. I found the film. I hope some of you enjoy this....

There is one swear word, about 1/3 of the way through....

 
I've watched all of the previous Star Wars movies (including the standalones) in preparation to finally see the last one. I was going to go last weekend but was sick and didn't make it. Hopefully this weekend.

I am not a critical audience, apparently, because I don't quite get the hatred people have for the prequels and others. They are what they are and advance the story well.
 
Watched Dont Worry, He Wont Get Far on Foot. Liked it, its a nice story, alebit a bit jumbled. I like John Callahan's comics they are pretty funny. Joaquin really nails the character pretty well.
 
Watched Ad Astra, it was disappointing. Long, boring, dumb story. I usually like the slow burn sci fi, but man this one sucked. If you are thinking about watching, watch 'Moon' with Sam Rockwell instead.
