5 Flights Up with Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman...I really liked it...thumbs up.

Black or White with Kevin Costner...good movie.

Ride with Helen Hunt...it was ok, entertaining enough.

Today I am going to watch Still Alice with Julianne Moore...I have the tissues ready.

I must make a note of this one as I really like Diane Keaton.

Really good movie...gut wrenching at times. I sobbed.

Boyhood is really good (very long, but kept our interest.) A very different movie, recommend!

 

[Andy_T]

Yes, Boyhood was interesting!

At times, it very much reminded me that adolescence often is NOT the best time of your life

 

[Calliegirl]

The Age of Adaline - Different but good.

Kingsman: The Secret Service - I'm usually not interested the James Bond type spy movies, but I watched this one and it was surprisingly good.

 

[KLS52]

Watching all three Jurassic movies...getting ready for Jurassic World!

Watched "The Shawshank Redemption" again on the weekend as my wife had not seen the movie so far.

Was again reminded why this is a very good movie (although likely not the best movie, made, EVER, as the "250 best movies list" on www.imdb.com suggests.

Anyway, if you have not seen that movie yet, it is worth watching!

Best regards,
Andy

Still Alice (2014) - IMDb

A linguistics professor and her family find their bonds tested when she is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease.

I really enjoyed Julianne Moore's performance in this touching film.

 

[Calliegirl]

Just watched Brave, good movie.

The Remains of the Day (1993) - IMDb

I am always enthralled to watch the brilliant performance of Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. A pure delight and one of
James Ivory's best films.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) - IMDb

I love Bridget Jones.

 

[Calliegirl]

The Maze Runner. Much, much better than I was expecting. I'm looking forward to part two.

 

[Calliegirl]

Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Neverbeast. Cute kid's movie.
I also watched a few other boring ones that aren't worth mentioning.

 

[Calliegirl]

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the American version. Excellent movie, I wish the other two had been made.

 

[shyvas]

Really good movie...gut wrenching at times. I sobbed.

Her performance was really outstanding in this film. She is one of my favourite actresses.

We went to see the new Mad Max movie today. It was awesome! Non-stop action, incredible stunts, badass woman lead character. If you like action movies, a must see! I don't know how they pulled off some of those stunts! I loved the original Mad Max movies and this one is a great addition!

 

[Calliegirl]

Just watched Boy Meets Girl (2014) - IMDb and it was very good. There is some explicit sexual language and a nude scene, so if you're easily offended you might not like this. The acting in the beginning is not that great, but it's worth sticking around as it gets a lot better.

Saw "Set Fire to the Stars" .

Nice movie, but not really a revelation in my humble opinion.
Solid acting on behalf of Elijah Wood (and the rather not so well known Celyn Jones), but the story is rather boring with few climatic moments, unless maybe if you are a diehard poetry fan.

Saw "Last Knights" yesterday.

Was not as bad as I had expected, but granted, I was not looking for much.
Nevertheless, I never felt the urge to get up and do something else.

Somehow strange movie ... rather classical "corruption, betrayal and revenge" movie set in mediaeval times with Clive Owen and Morgan Freeman.

The rather funny part is that, while it is set somehow in a setting like the European Middle Ages, the ethnicities of the actors are mixed ... the "emperor" is played by a Persian actor, the betrayed lord is played by Morgan Freeman, his wife has Asian features, and some of the other lords, retainers and villains are played by other Japanese, European, Korean, New Zealand, African and other actors. Also, the language is often not really in line with mediaeval times.

So, about as authentic as "A Knights Tale" with its hardrock soundtrack, but not as funny.
And, while not really bad, not as good as the comparable movie "47 Ronin".

Best regards,
Andy
