The Choice
Typical Nicholas Sparks cheese.
I barely recognized Smallville's Clark (Tom Welling) in this. He's HUGE. Like muscley huge, I mean. I liked him better unhuge.
Girl Most Likely
I thought this was pretty good--Kristen Wiig is always funny, and Annette Bening is so cute. Can't believe she was 54 (at the time of the movie release) and looks that good. Darren Criss is very nice to look at as well. The movie is rated low on Rotten Tomatoes, but I think it has its moments. Could've been better as it did seem a little scattered in places.

Peggy Sue Got Married. (Streaming on Hulu+)
Peggy Sue faints at a high school reunion. When she wakes up, she finds herself in her own past, just before she finished school.
Wow, what a blast from the past and so many stars!!!! (Nicholas Cage has a weird voice in this movie.)

Not a movie but just a commercial - thought it was pretty good (the animation part)
We subscribed to HBO NOW through Hulu, just until Game of Thrones is over for the season. One month free, we'll pay $15 for the second month, then done. Do you have Hulu? The Take is on there, if you haven't seen it.
Neil, I usually agree with your movie reviews, but couldn't disagree with you more on this one. I just finished Moonlight, and thought it deserved all its nominations. I am not black, gay, or from a ghetto, but I loved and cared for the characters from the beginning. Who hasn't been bullied as Little was, even though it may have been a fraction of what he went through? What parent hasn't made mistakes with his children that he regrets and wants to make right? Who hasn't witnessed injustice to African Americans or gay friends, even if only on TV?
This film is outstanding in that it leads the viewer through Chiron's life and the tragedy of what many of our children go through in their own homes every day of their lives. My son has trouble understanding why anyone would choose to use drugs or sell them. I think this film shows how it's just the way some kids grow up...as normal to them as brushing your teeth or playing video games are to others. To say this movie is just part of an agenda really downgrades its message. I understand if you don't like it, but to play it off that way is unfair, IMO.
Okay, I see. I don't have Hulu, but had seen The Take years ago. It's a great book too, if you've not read it.
You get a virtual blue ribbon. While I agree with Neil that it had some arty-farty camera work, the story was solid, as was the acting.
Isn't that funny? I didn't even notice the camera work. Guess I was too caught up in the story. I think this may be my first blue ribbon from you, and I am very proud! *Hangs ribbon on virtual shelf*
I haven't! Definitely one I'll look up. I think Bronson is the only one of his on Netflix right now. Oh wait! Peaky Blinders is also there, and he's batshit crazy in the second season of that! Have you seen Rocknrolla? Marie Antoinette? Elizabeth I: The Virgin Queen? Wuthering Heights?
No, I've not seen any of those!! I'm new to The Netflix scene and don't have any other streaming services except Amazon Prime. I'll look for them all. Tom's best when slightly crazy!
If you haven t seen The Drop, do it right away. The main actors are tremendous: Hardy, Noomi Rapace, Matthias Schoenaerts, James Gandolfini. Schoenaerts is another actor that I hope breaks out in America, because he is just incredible. If you don't mind subtitles, see if you can find Bullhead or Rust and Bone (both Belgian--the director of Bullhead is the one who directed The Drop, as well). Both movies have parts that are very difficult to watch (seriously, both made me ugly cry, Bullhead early and Rust and Bone late in the movie), but they, and he, are absorbing.
Clearly the film must have been doing something right - it wouldn't have been in the running for best film if not, let along winning.
But it didn't speak to me at all. I couldn't find anything in it to identify with or engage with and because of that, for me, it wasn't a good film. I'm glad that, for others, it wasn't the waste of celluloid which it was for me.
And, as always, my opinion is simply that - my opinion, no more, no less, and no more (or less) important than any one else's..
And a good mix of agreement and disagreement is what makes talking about movies (and books) the fun it is
Dressed To Kill (1980) Michael Caine
I haven't seen this for years (maybe since it was released in 1980). I liked it quite a bit when it was released but not nearly as much now. The movie hasn't aged very well and I think DePalma should have toned down the homage to Hitchcock. The score was driving me crazy too. I liked it but not nearly as much as I did many years ago.

Rocknrolla is one of my favorite films. Love Hardy's 'coming out' scene. Too funny!
Exactly! How boring the world would be if we were all the sameAnd a good mix of agreement and disagreement is what makes talking about movies (and books) the fun it is
Hey, skimom2
You may want to watch Mommy Dead and Dearest
In this documentary, the murder of Deedee Blanchard by her daughter Gypsey Rose is explored, as well as the circumstances leading up to the event.
I think my daughter recommended this one, too! Now I have to watch it

I liked it very much.The circle of pathology. One minute you feel for a person for what's happened the next you despise the person for what they've done.
