Josh Brolin. The man who should have played Roland.........
I watch Cargo and Morgan over the weekend. I like them both.
I feel the same way about Josh Brolin sir. The more movies I see him in, the more I like like his acting. I became a fan after his performance is "No Country For Old Men". I had forgotten that he was in "The Goonies" eons ago but he really is a solid actor. I like his father also, they're both naturals.
Lawrence of Arabia
Another one of those epic movies I had never seen from beginning to end. I think the day of these is really gone. Old Hollywood 3 hour movies where the panoramic view is the big thing.

Dirty Harry
It was on AXS TV the other day. Stumbled across it while flipping around and decided to rewatch it again. One of Clint's best movies.

Going to see Big Trouble in Little China in 35mm on the big screen on Friday.

It rained all weekend so I dug into my blu-ray pile
The Wild Bunch (1969) William Holden - One of the greatest Westerns
Master & Commander (2003) Russell Crowe - the young one-armed midshipman character, Blakeney steals the show
To Kill A Mockingbird - Gregory Peck - classic
10 Cloverfield Lane - (2016) John Goodman was magnificent in this. He played this character perfectly.
Spectre - (2015) Maybe the worst of the Daniel Craig Bond movies but I still liked it. The opening sequence was awesome.
Hearts In Atlantis - (2001) Strays pretty far from the source material but I still think it's a good flick. It's sad to see young Anton though.
The Vanishing Of Sydney Hall (2017) (Logan Lerman) - This movie is a gigantic cliche but Logan Lerman makes it tolerable.
Rebel In The Rye (2017) (Nicholas Hoult) - The story of JD Salinger. I thought it was very good.
The Disaster Artist (2017) James Franco - James Franco sleepwalks through some of his roles but when he gets a role he likes, he's capable of an inspired performance and he's fantastic in this movie. It's a modern day Ed Wood tale.
The Imitation Game (2014) The story of Alan Turnig and the breaking of the German Enigma code in WWII. I thought this movie was excellent but then I read later that it's historically inaccurate.

Awesome Movie, really enjoyed it

I watched Gerald's Game from Netflix on Sunday. It was boring in the beginning, but got much better in the end, so not a bad movie after all.
Finally watched Split. Wow! This was a very good movie!
Solo: A Star Wars Story - enjoyable scifi heist escapism marred by an insistence on ticking boxes to tell us stuff we already knew.
The Greatest Showrman
I'm not hot about musicals, although if something's done well, then it's worth the watch. Grandma just flat likes musicals.
I enjoyed this one, and Grandma really liked it. The numbers were well put together, sometimes very impressively so, and the lyrics were clever and well done. In fact, a couple of them were kinda breathtaking in concept and execution. And they actually advanced the plotting.

The Final Master [2015]
I am a huuuge fan of old kung fu movies, and that's why I started watching this one. It's not a typical KF movie, and it's a lot more realistic, insofar as plot, with less focus on humor than some other titles in the genre. Fun fact, all the blades used in the action sequences are real...

Is that the one with Hugh Jackman ? So can the Wolverine carry a tune and do a jig?
Oh, yeah. He's a genuine song-and-dance man. I don't know what scenes might have had a dancing double for him, if any, but he was doing fine. He carried his tunes in Les Miserables too.
Highlander (first time viewing it. Some absurdly delightful 80's fun scored to the awesomeness that is Queen) and De Palma's Carrie.
I actually have a question about Carrie that is incredibly unimportant, but has been bothering me nonetheless. In the film one of the minor characters, "Norma Watson" (played by P.J. Soles) always has this super obvious red hat on (her costume in the PE scene is also clearly different from the other girls). I know she plays a role in the prom scene, so I initially thought perhaps the hat is a way to signal that she will be a key player in the plot. However, the use of that hat just seems so ridiculously obvious (she has the thing on during prom). Is there some smarter reason for the weird costume choice besides the obvious she's wearing it so the audience will notice her?

Probably just a gimmick - remember the Monkees? Or maybe not - that was a long time ago. One of the characters was called "Wool Hat" - I think this girl Norma is a bit of a rebel and just wants to stand out from the crowd.
I watched 'Windtalkers' this week, it is a true story and stars Nicholas Cage and Adam Beach. Its a great movie,
I like true story movies.
ghost19 I think you would like this movie ...
