i'm a fan of dancing, ecdysiasts, and channing tatum. so channing tatum playing an ecdysiast while also showing off his great dance skills is "all right, all right, all right" by me

I LOVED Gifted. Fairly predictable, but it had one or two lovely reveals, and a truly impressive performance from the little girl. Chris Evans and Lindsey Duncan were both pretty good, too. And it made me cry, more than once.
Our Betters (1933).
Mmm-mnn...Constance Bennett at her slinky, backless gown best as an American hardware heiress who marries an English lord only to find out it's but a marriage of convenience. She then becomes the shocking party queen of London in this mildly racy Pre-Code comedy.
Man, I could watch Connie Bennett do anything...

Baby Driver seems to be getting rave reviews. I think I'll check it out this weekend.

The Dressmaker (2015)
A glamorous woman returns to her small town in rural Australia. With her sewing machine and haute couture style, she transforms the women and exacts sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.
Loved this movie and highly recommend it.

I've had that one on my external hard drive for months, but I haven't watched it yet. Glad to hear that I have something to look forward to! I read the book, and it was okay.
Speaking of "violence" in the title, "A History of Violence" with Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello was surprisingly good, except Grandma had some major flinching during the, um, stairway scene. The violence didn't get to her, but that part did.
"Eastern Promises," also with Viggo, was another surprise winner for us.
Watched Split (2016) a few days ago. James McAvoy was incredible - I haven't seen him in many movies, but he knocked this one out of the park! Really liked Betty Buckley's performance too. Couldn't remember where I'd seen her before...she was Miss Collins in the original Carrie! 
This was my second favorite M. Night Shyamalan movie thus far (The Sixth Sense first and Devil ranking next after Split). I didn't mind The Village and Signs, but didn't care for Lady in the Water, even though I love Paul Giamatti.

I was so excited to learn there will be a sequel called "Glass" (next year)...love Bruce Willis' "Unbreakable" character.
The First Men in the Moon 1964 based on the book of the same name and one of my favorite adaptations of an H G wells story . The film directed by Nathan Juran and co written by Nigel Kneale and Jan Read . It stead Edward Judd, Martha Hyer and Lionel Jeffreys . The films special effects done by the Ray Harryhausen . A classic of the first order. 
I didn't know that - thank you so much for giving me something to look forward to!!
I admired both (hard to say you 'like' a Cronenberg film). The stairway scene and the naked fistfight in Eastern Promises were both pure Cronenberg--lol.
The Night of the Hunter starring Robert Mitchum.
And she was the stepmom on Eight is Enough (are you old enough to remember that show?)Watched Split (2016) a few days ago.

Loved Split (McAvoy is incredible in absolutely everything--I think I have just about every movie he's made. Have you seen Being Jane? To. Die. For.) until the end. I loathed and despised that. Shyamalamadingdong hasn't nailed an ending in years. Still, I'm looking forward to Glass, I think.
This evening I was watching an old movie on Blu-ray called The Stunt Man (1980), One of my favorite films. I have a bit of history with it, I visited the Del Coronado Hotel once where they did a lot of the shooting. I absolutely love this movie -- sort of a flawed masterpiece. Beautiful Dominic Frontiere soundtrack. It really creates a wonderful sense of time & place. 1980 before the 80's really got started. Give it a look, you won't be disappointed. One problem with it -- did people really give each other the finger that much back then? Hard to imagine. Still, a beautifully mounted film. Gimme a damn time machine!

I have not seen Being Jane, but will definitely seek it out now! Thanks for the rec!
