Ironhold Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 The English dub of "The Wild Life", released elsewhere in German and/or under the title "Robinson Crusoe". It's a fun little kid-friendly rendering of the "Crusoe" tale, and the English dub has the benefit of Sandy Fox in a major role. Quote

I saw a preview for a movie called Keeping Up With the Joneses. The trailer showed a couple who moved into a neighborhood and met their neighbors the Jones' who are very classy and just... perfect... and for some reason, out of envy or something, the couple decided to dig dirt up on the Jones' only to find out that they are actually undercover agents of some kind. The trailer was absolutely hilarious with a Mr and Mrs Smith kind of flair. It has Gal Gadot as half of the Jones' (she's super tall) and Isla Fisher as half of the nieghbors (she's super petite). It was just awesomely hilarious seing Isla acting so clumsy (in the same kind of character as Shopaholic) next to Gal! Sunday21 1 Quote
anatess2 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 Hundred-foot Journey. 2 days in a row. I can't get enough of this movie. Quote
anatess2 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 Sully. The perfect movie for 9/11 weekend. That one line in the movie (paraphrased) - "It's nice to hear something positive about an airplane crash in NYC." says it all. The movie was a bit confusing at first but then I got used to the way Clint Eastwood did the storytelling... the ending made the entire movie click into place. I sat there while the credits were rolling and the "real people" were being shown on the screen with this nice feeling in my heart about how good it is to be American (okay, so I'm not really American - but you know what I mean).

Maureen Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 I really liked Woman in Gold starring Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds. A Jewish woman hires a lawyer to see about getting her family possessions returned to her that were stolen by the Nazis during WWII. It also stars Tatiana Maslany. M. SilentOne 1 Quote

After the flops that were "Don't Breathe" and "Morgan", I decided not to try for three-in-a-row with a drama that could so easily have been melodramatic. Hence my decision to go see a kids' movie.

Alf Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 I recently watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947) with Danny Kaye. It is a very old movie but Danny Kaye is quite funny. I definitely recommend it. Quote

It was okay, nothing spectacular. I like Kate Mara, so one of the reasons why I watched it. M. Quote

I found it to be pretty well disposable as a film, to be honest. Not something I'd recommend. Edit - And anyone with knowledge of what was going on (such as proper interrogation technique) will see the "twists" coming far in advance. Edited September 13, 2016 by Ironhold Quote

anatess2 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 Captain America: Civil War Got the Blueray. I still like it. Will probably watch it again soon... maybe just spend 2 hours on the bonus features. Brings it home to me some more how MCU is just far superior to DC. Quote
Ironhold Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 Snowden. People were pitching it as a sleeper, but it's actually a snoozer. It's over two hours long, and a horrific percentage of that time is narration and exposition instead of acting things out. Couple this with the overly long ending, and I had trouble staying awake.

Sunday21 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Posted September 18, 2016 I saw Spotlight a movie about the Boston Globes investigation of the Catholic church's pediophile scandal. Really good. Vidangell movie for sure. Quote
mirkwood Posted September 19, 2016 Report Posted September 19, 2016 Saints and Soldiers (again), great movie. 4/5 stars Now You See Me, great movie. 4/5 stars. Quote
mirkwood Posted September 19, 2016 Report Posted September 19, 2016 Open Grave. Not the movie I was expecting 4/5 stars. Quote
AngelMarvel Posted September 24, 2016 Report Posted September 24, 2016 9 Lives... Cute ... but the cat meow all the time kinda ruined it for me. Listening to all the children in the movie house laughing made it an even better movie. Sunday21 1 Quote

Didn't find it so, the ending where his choice was to end his life, not crazy about that, yet sometimes I wrestle with how much our medical field does to extend life rather than let things take there course. So not crazy about the ending , so many movies are violent with murder at the drop of a hat this one had some really emotion along with dealing with lifes tragic questions. Sunday21 1 Quote
mirkwood Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 The Legend of Tarzan. 4/5 star movie. Very surprised. Quote
Ironhold Posted September 26, 2016 Report Posted September 26, 2016 Storks. Good, (mostly) clean fun. Quote
