What's the last movie you watched?

[Kayelle]

mother!


It's a movie with symbolism of the bible with Cain and Abel, with Adam and Eve and his rib, with creation and destruction and the plagues.


It's a movie about mother earth and God and how we as humans are destroying it and overpopulating it.


It's a movie about the narcissist and the ever giving suffering victim willing to give until it kills her. She gives all her talents, her efforts, her love, her child, and all of that is consumed by Him and his masses and his massive need for adoration from his fans.



It's a movie in a house in no particular location, with unreal things happening as the house falls apart, with characters with no names sinking lower and lower, only mother and Him, like a fevered dream, that repeats itself. Everything returns to ash and the story begins again.


It's a movie about a man and woman living in a house that bleeds and eventually falls apart.


Take your pick! It's a movie to meet your needs if you want to feel unsettled. Does it have a happy ending? It depends on your viewpoint.

After reading this on Wiki, there's no way I'd choose to see mother!

Everyone will get a different interpretation upon seeing this movie. And I can understand that people will not want to watch it too. When I saw it I was immediately struck by HIM, being a narcissist, and she was having life sucked right out of her and away from her. It was horrifying to see the selfishness and the air of superiority he had, to her demise. Anytime she tried to be reasonable and have boundaries in their house, he over ran them, stomped on them (or his guests did), until it was all ashes, her life and the house. He went happily on his way, started the whole thing all over again, just like narcissists do.

Well, just these sentences alone from the plot convinces me it's too horrible for words.. Who would want a visual of this?....

Mother goes into labor and finds Him. He takes her to his study, which he reopens so she can give birth there. The havoc outside subsides. Him tells Mother his fans want to see their newborn son; she refuses and holds her boy tightly. When she falls asleep, however, Him takes their child outside to the crowd, which passes the baby around wildly until his neck is inadvertently snapped. Mother hurries to the front and sees her son’s mutilated corpse being eaten by the crowd.

Kayelle, I probably wouldn't have watched it if it had been marketed as a horror flick. And the actor and actress do not have a reputation of doing movies that are horror flicks. It was just very unexpected and unsettling.

I remember when I saw this trailer back when the movie came out, I thought that it looked good
Meh

"The Longest Ride" - Love Alan Alda... for him alone a good movie, not to mention the rest of the eye candy.

In my opinion, Three Billboards should have won the best picture Oscar instead of Shape of Water.

Billboards was a terrific film. I can't help but wonder how much the long awkward title hurt it.

Hands down right. For sure. Shape of water was stupid at best.

 

[CharlieD]

Saw Deadpool. Am I not American enough, or am I too old? I hear raving reviews about that movie. IMHO it was as dumb as it gets. I kept waiting for something really good to happen, or really funny, or at least something dirty, none, nada, zip, zilch.

TCM had 1966's "King of Hearts: on last night. Starring Alan Bates as a WWII advance de-activation explosives expert scouting out a European insane asylm. The time he spends there is kind of weird. What impressed me is that after dealing with the insane quirkyness he encounters there, at the end of this move, the advanced Allied mechanized troops approach to relieve him. That scene at the end (tanks and noise approaching), leaves you wondering just who and what is sane or insane.

Excellent movie!


Not a movie, but I am finally watching seasons 1&2 of Orphan Black. I think it's quite good and am enjoying it. Shrek was not interested, so I put it off.

I don't remember who here recommended the Peter Rabbit movie, but I remember being somewhat surprised he liked it so much and made note.
It's now available on Netflix. We both really enjoyed it last night, and laughed ourselves silly in parts. Two more thumbs up from us!!

 

[dragnlaw]

I've been waiting for Peter Rabbit as well. My Netflix area has not gotten it yet...

 

[Kayelle]

I've always been a Shirley MacLaine fan and her 2017 The Last Word didn't disappoint.

Good story..Harriet is a retired businesswoman who wants to control everything, especially her legacy. When a young journalist searches for the truth, so begins a life-altering friendship.

We have a Freeview channel specialising in old films and at lunchtime today I turned on the television and just caught the beginning of "The Kid", a silent Charlie Chaplin film about a down & out who finds an abandoned baby and brings it up as his own in extreme but enterprising poverty for 5 years

Then the child is taken to the "Orphans' Asylum" from whence he is stolen by Charlie then Charlie is arrested after he is reported by the doss-house manager (there's a reward!). All comes right when the child's mother, who is now a wealthy theatrical star who does "good works" among poor children, turns up.

Amazing - a silent film with very few sub-titles but it didn't need them - the acting was enough.

"The Longest Ride" - Love Alan Alda... for him alone a good movie, not to mention the rest of the eye candy.

"M*A*S*H (the series) is running here. I can ogle Alan Alda to my heart's content every evening but there was a fairly recent film (can't remember the title) on TV a couple of weeks ago and gorgeous Alan is a very old man. And he didn't need make-up to show it. (Sob!)

We enjoyed Two Weeks Notice with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant..A fun film with no drama..


Have Peter Rabbit saved on Netflix to watch soon..

Speaking Peter Rabbit, several years ago we saw a wonderful movie called Miss Potter..the story of Beatrix Potter. "Miss Potter" explores the life of Potter (Renee Zellweger), the author of beloved and best-selling children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit. We both loved the movie so much that it inspired us to later visit her magical home in the stunningly beautiful Lake District of England.

Just saw the newest remake of “A Star is Born” with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Really enjoyed it, and was glad I brought my kleenex for the ending.

I really want to see that! I've seen two of the remakes and had planned on going to the matinee today, but I ended up having to watch Tyler after school. I might go see it over the weekend, but I'd much rather go on a weekday. I'll take my Kleenex!

If anyone would have told me I'd be watching a Lady Gaga movie I'd have thought twice, but I've read that once she's out of her trademark crazy outfits and hair, that she's amazing in this remake. And I pretty much love Bradley Cooper.

You'll love it, Cheryl! Gaga was a natural despite no previous acting experience, and the rest of the cast was great too.
