We rewatched Panic Room last night. I think it was seeing Jodie Foster in True Detective that made me think of that film.

That was a very good film.

Wanted something light last night and watched Meet You On Venus. Not going to win many awards but it was entertaining and intresting all the way thru. They tried a couple of plot twists along the way but they were too obvious. Although they might work on a less sophisticated audience.
The lead actress is so pretty. I thought she looked familiar so I looked her up. Virginia Gardner from the TV show Runaways (2017). which reminded me that I watched the first season of that - there are two more. I put it on my list.

I picked up Barbie at the library and we watched it last night - I hadn't read anything about its premise and so was pleasantly surprised and we enjoyed it very much.

All Fun and Games (2023) - IMDb

I watched this last night. It was kind of scary and creepy.

I watched a new movie ( Apple TV), called Causeway, starring Jennifer Lawrence. Very slow paced. Obviously done deliberately but I don't think the director made the right call there. Also the music was almost all the kind of Ambient music that I use to go to sleep by. Again not a good call.

From another reviewer
Subtle, endearing, moody CHARACTER portrait. Heartfelt direction. Beautiful photography.

Some more classic films. I have watched Blair Witch, Copland, Panic Room lately.

Last night we watched Carlito's Way and Addam's Family Values.

Last night we watched The Lost Boys.

We are going to see Abigail at the cinema today.

 

[Chryssie]

I love "The Lost Boys!"

 

[SuicideBlonde]

We are going to see Abigail at the cinema today.

I wish they would have the "twist" left out of the adds. It looks fun though. I am going to watch it but wait till it is streaming.

 

[Raven]

Abigail was good! Quite funny in places. 8/10.

The Kill Room (2023) - IMDb

A hitman, his boss, an art dealer and a money-laundering scheme that accidentally turns the assassin into an overnight avant-garde sensation, one that forces her to play the art world against the underworld.

We watched this last night. It was 7.5/10. It was kind of weird.

There were quite a few horror films in the trailers yesterday that I assume we will watch as we like horror films. The new Strangers etc...

I was trying to think of a film for us all to watch tonight, maybe 10 Things I Hate About You.

 

[KellecoUK]

Yeah, a sign of the times.

Me, too!

I only began to dislike it when I heard at a much later point that the original idea of the show had been elaborated by Bruce Lee and pitched to Warner Brothers, but they took the concept and went with David Carradine as lead because they thought a Chinese lead would be unpalatable to a ‘murrican audience …

I recently watched "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story". Apart from being a great film, it also gives a great insight into his life [including the "Kung Fu" situation].

I don't usually watch horror movies but for some reason that movie intrigues me. Maybe I will watch it, too.

I just watched "Fast X" the latest in the "Fast and Furious" franchise. I am a fan of these films but this one really got carried away. The movies have always been unrealistic and over the top with the chases and stunts but to me that was a big part of the fun. So this one ended on a cliff hanger and Vin Diesel has said that the story will end with 11 which they plan on doing next year. Some of the characters from former movies were in this one and some bad guys turned good. I have to say that Jason Momoa's crazy evil villain was hilarious and fun to watch. I bet he had a blast playing that role and will be back for the "finale."

 

[Raven]

I'm watching 1408 again, a horror film with John Cusack.

 

[KellecoUK]

I somehow missed this movie being released last year!
Yes, it's a "Vegan" movie but also a great watch for all music fans...
"Vegan Punk Rock"

I just watched “The Outfit” on Amazon Prime.

Very good movie (more a play than a typical movie, the whole story takes place over a few hours inside a tailor shop) with Mark Rylance, whom I like a lot as actor.
