Rosemary's Baby
My daughter wanted to see it...the daughter I was pregnant with 20 years ago when I saw the movie for the first time
I liked that movie very much! The real family was Spanish not English, but it was reportedly a pretty faithful narrative aside from that change.
I like the way that both Civil War and B vs S: Dawn of Justice addressed the issue of the tremendous damage done by 'superheroes'. Civil War was a far superior movie, but the beginning of B vs. S was so effective in that respect!We finally got around to watching Captain America: Civil War. I'm a big Cap fan and found myself agreeing with him (but I don't have super-powers, so...). I really liked the way both sides of the issue were given equal weight. And any time RDJ and Evans are together, I'm happy.
I quite liked Interstellar--trying to figure out what was real and what wasn't messed with my head, particularly after the movie was over and my husband said he thought
It might be i think Nolan has a tendency to get a bit to clever for his own good in his movies. I also never really liked the actor playing the pilot . I think your husbands theory has merit.....I quite liked Interstellar--trying to figure out what was real and what wasn't messed with my head, particularly after the movie was over and my husband said he thoughtnothing past the scene where the pilot was in the accident was real--it was all a flash forward. A dying man's last fantasies of what might happen. That was set up later in the film, when the theory is posited that a person envisions or focusses upon as they're dying the thing they care about most. In this case it was what would happen to his children. He also gets to be a hero in saving them--last wish. I thought the fantasy part came later, but Mark's theory works with the inconsistencies in the movie, like the way the pilot is the center of everything, even involving himself in the sciences in which he wouldn't conceivably be knowledgeable, must less an expert. Nolan is a clever writer and director--for him to fall prey to the "'Scientist' is code for 'I understand EVERY branch of study'" fallacy doesn't seem logical.
Haven't watched The Martian yet, though I do have the movie. Maybe this weekend
This movie ripped me up, it was incredibly difficult to watch. Terrifying things Tsunami...
