I finished Star Trek and started Star Trek Into Darkness.

I watched Fanny the other night. It is based on the 1931 play by Marcel Pagnol. It is the second part of the Marseillaise film trilogy that begins with Marius (1931) and concludes with Cesar (1936).

A fabulous film with great actors made it an enjoyable evening.

last night we watched a very interesting documentary on Netflix - Unknown: Cave of Bones - fascinating! and we also watched The Lake House with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock - watched it in the past and enjoyed it again although sometimes it is hard to track

I watched another horror called Becky last night. It starred Kevin James (The King of Queens) as a bad guy which is weird as I have only seen him in comedy roles. I liked it, although very gory at times.

I did not read anything about this movie before I started it. It is a dark comedy with some sifi. Not the best movie, but sweet. I just about started to cry.

I miss Avengers. I would like to see those movies again, but I can't right now.
I did find some of those on YouTube. Those are fun, but I can't understand a word, since those are dubbed in Hindi or something.

 

[Deleted member 3018]

Or, I miss MCU in general.
The first time I saw those movies, it was so captivating. The best thing I had ever seen in my life.

A while ago we were talking about Missing Persons Movies.
Just now I watched Searching. The story was pretty good. Even when I had all the clues I didn't put them together right. But the best part of the movie was the Story Telling. Instead of being like a regular movie the entire story was told thru things on the computer screen, IMs, FaceTime and video recordings. I thought it was novel and very well implemented. Clever.

we started watching Poker Face, the movie, last night thinking it was the series.... we stopped pretty quickly

The next day that hub has off is Wednesday, so I got tickets to barbie.

I just watched Missing.
I guess I knew it was a sequel to Searching but I was still surprised when in the beginning of of Missing they show what I guess is a the end of a docudrama of the events in Searching. A clever but cheap tie-in. They even circle back to it.

Missing uses all the same narrative tools that Searching had. FaceTime, voicemails, IMs, google searches and video camera stuff.

The story has twists and turns and I couldn't guess what was going on till the very end. Afterwards I was thinking back on the events and it seems like it all hangs together really well.

I'm toying with going to see the latest Mission Impossible movie. I'm such a sucker for those movies, lol.

The Whale

Interesting and watchable
The basic guts of it is about a morbid obese recursive English teacher who tries to build back his relationship with his daughter .

I was just in a shop and the people were going on and on about Barbie! The man working there said people keep coming in and buying anything pink to wear to the see the film.

I really don't understand this Barbie movie hype!

 

[SuicideBlonde]

Barbie was great. More intense than I expected. It's the nostalgia, woman power and the fact it is making a certain group of people very angry.

 

[Raven]

I want to see Talk to Me! Even the trailer looked scary.

 

[Emma JC]

I really don't understand this Barbie movie hype!

I guess we'll have to see it to understand it as I don't get it either so far. I did notice that all the female hosts on MSNBC the other night were wearing pink... lol, loved it.

I knew I wanted to see it as soon as I saw the first trailer.
It has been getting great reviews.

Barbie movie review & film summary (2023) | Roger Ebert

A lot like Barbie the doll: ravishing to look at, but with much more on its mind than initially meets the eye.
