Limbo - This film is great. It is both funny and tragic at the same time, sometimes simultaneously, which is something I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. I got to know the characters and cared about them. The cinematography is bleakly beautiful. I loved this film, and can honestly say I’ve never seen anything quite like it.
Glad you liked it. I didn't want to say too much out of fear of spoiling it. Was there anybody in the theater with you?
Yes, there were 8 people including me, in a theater that holds about 120. Everyone was seated in the back 3 rows (out of 8). I stopped to chat briefly afterwards with another woman who was there, and she said she expected to be the only one there. I told her I did not expect to be alone, but that film had the most people of the three I’ve been to in the past few weeks. It was a mid-afternoon screening. I felt totally comfortable.
Crimson Peak, must have been 6 years ago. It was in Omnimax or something and I recall being thoroughly unimpressed with the picture, too big and blurry. Was the movie good? I slept through a good chunk of it, so I guess that's the answer lol
You're right, I just looked it up in my calendar and I saw "Tenet" at the end of September. It feels so much longer to me now. At that time, the theatres were partly opened, but with many restrictions (only about a third of seats used, only people living in the same household were allowed to sit next to each other, mask wearing when away from your seat). Soon afterwards they were closed for good, though.
"THE UNHOLY", about a mysterious,girl sent by tbhe Virgin Mary, but horrible thuings start happening becuase of it. They have to get the chuirch.
Took me awhile to figure it out, but it was "1917" on 1/15/20. I was just looking at my Santikos and Regal Rewards accounts, wondering if points were going to expire. Looks like the Regal ones start in about 50 days. Not a damn thing in the theaters that looks the least bit interesting to me. I'd go see something like "Black Widow" if they'd put it out.
Had plans to see The Gentleman in early 2020 before we were in the Covid Lockdown, but was having Post Dental Surgery Pain for awhile around that time, so missed it but bought the BluRay later and loved that Movie, snd as you can guess from my SOA Avatar, I am a Charlie Hunnam Fan, and also liked him as the Lead Actor in The Lost City of Z. Also, a fan of several Matthew McConaughey’s Movies going back to Dazed and Confused, and the Trailer looked good, so was glad I bought The Gentlemen, as will watch it several more times in the future. This Movie is most likely what had me interested in watching the recent TV Series, Gangs of London(Very Violent, but a Good Organized Crime TV Series from the 6 Episodes I have seen so far). So the last Movie I saw with someone in a Theater(Regal) was December of 2019: Uncut Gems-with The Sandman(Great Acting Performance)
Mr. Klein (1976) January 2020 Great local theatre that played old classic films. I really miss seeing old movies in the theaters. I may be wrong. I think I also watched The Lighthouse a few weeks after this one. Anyhow, it's been over a year ago! Far too long.
Wife and I are going to brave the theater for the first time in over a year to see Top Gun. I have never seen it before.
We saw that for the first time tonight. Didn't really do much for us, the dogfight scenes were mostly a confusing mishmash. But it's the sort of film that so many people reference that it seemed worthwhile to tick it off our list. The second film we saw was new Angelina Jolie film Those Who Wish Me Dead where she plays a fire jumper, who has lost her nerve for the job after she was unable to save someone, and is now living on a firewatch tower, and winds up having to protect a child being hunted by assassins. Quite compelling forest fire scenes, and some very bad bad guys. An entertaining enough evening at the movies.
I never much cared for "Top Gun" - even in 1986, it didn't work for me. But it's indeed a relic of the era, the rah-rah Reagan 80s!
My wife and I saw Dream Horse tonight, a true life story about a group in a economically depressed Welsh town banding together to own a racehorse. The film stars Toni Collette and it's a perfectly entertaining, old-fashioned feel-good film. I wouldn't describe it as a film that you absolutely have to see in the theater, but if like Vickie and me, you have AMC's A*List, it's well worth being one of the three films you get to see this week for your $20 a month.
Just saw Final Account, a documentary composed almost entirely of interviews with former members of the Hitler Youth and it's female counterpart the League of German Girls. Powerful and uncompromising. I wouldn't say I "enjoyed it" but I'm glad I saw it. Do you need to see it in the theater? Probably not, but one man went to the trouble of tracking down an interviewing all these people before they slipped away, and I think people willing to do things like that should be encouraged, and buying movie tickets is the best way to do that.
Saw a second film this evening, and it was incredibly depressing - New Order, about an uprising in Mexico City that starts grim and then just keeps getting grimmer. Very well made, very compelling, some great performances, but Lord Almighty was it depressing. So much so that I wish I'd seen the film with the interviews with former Hitler Youth second. We were the only people in the theater.
