Ah I am so glad to hear it, I really want to see this movie - besides you can't go wrong with Beatles music (as for that muppet in the trailer, Coldplay and Fix You don't come anywhere CLOSE to most Beatle's songs!)

One of the good old good ones, The Longest Day. One of the greatest movies ever made with an all-star cast, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Henry Fonda and many others. Also the super cool theme music by Paul Anka. They dont make movies like that anymore.

I saw The Space Between Us and loved it! Unpredictable plot, believable romance and satisfying ending. I know it bombed at the 2017 box office, but I'm a sucker for soft love stories and space.

The last movie that I saw was the new Hellboy that recently came out on DVD and BlueRay. Although it received a large amount of criticism, I was personally a fan. I enjoyed that the movie was more like the comics and did not completely humanize Hellboy. The villain was also fantastic and the CGI was amazing to watch. I was creeped out and fascinated all at the same time. I would give the move 4 out of 5. I would have given a 5 out of 5, but the ending offered a minor cliffhanger that hints at Abe Sapien and there is not likely going to be a sequel.

Joker is amazing. I just created a thread about the movie: viewtopic.php?f=103&t=122301

:mrgreen:
Heart! We will forget him!
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

It's not that bad. Give it a watch (I reckon the curiosity will kill you more than the film itself, lol). I saw it when it came out in theaters after having read + loved the book and liked it ok. What's surprising is that despite it being just an ok film, I find myself rewatching it every couple of years. So it has something. For one thing, it fills up the senses with beautifully shot/edited locations, food, and music; for another, Javier Bardem's genuineness is seriously charming; and, I feel like it gets the beat of Elizabeth Gilbert's awakening/journey pretty darn well. I never quite felt like Julia Roberts was Elizabeth (v. Julia Roberts) but her performance is thoughtful and sincere. As long as you can acknowledge that a film is only ever an interpretation of a book and not the book (nor ever could be), then I think it can be held fairly it its own right. And I think that's the important thing when measuring films of books.

Well, I rarely watch movies these days.

I have kids, though, so I just mostly see the stuff they watch. So, literally the last movie I probably saw was Descendants 3! Lol

The last movie I saw is the The Hate U Give, which is actually also the last book I've read. I rate it 9/10 stars. I loved the emotion of the actors and Amandla Stenberg remarkably carried out Starr's personality and struggle throughout the book. I love the meaning behind the story and can relate so much to some experiences of the characters.

My last movie was The Farewell. Very slow pace and simple storyline, although the cinematography was nice. Not as good as expected. 4/10

The last movie I saw was El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars. The plot was somewhat boring. The first episode of Breaking Bad could have been a movie all on its own. It seems like this movie was just two additional episodes of the series.

"A Star is Born" starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, rating 7/10. I loved it! The film seemed so realistic that I felt their emotions and cried with them. Amazing songs and amazing voices! I would definitely watch over and over again!

I saw The Joker and it was better than i thought it would be, Joaquin Phoenix is such a good actor, I highly recommend the movie to anyone that hasn't seen it yet.

Last week I saw Joker . Wasnt as great in my opinion as personal reviews I've been told. They did a great job with putting it together but I feel like they could of done better. My rating would have to be a 6 out of 10.
