What was the last movie you saw?

One is reminded of Tor Johnson getting paid 300$ for starring in Beast of Yucca Flats. What did the nudey gal at the beginning get? Other characters get no lines, so's they don't have to pay 'em much. I remember those days, and I am still broke, too.
Wathed Minuscule, animated Ladybug/Ant adventure. Pretty cool - no dialogue! .. just ant whistles and screams. Turns out that ants can do some stuff you wouldn't think possible. Quite a lot, really.
 
I just watched IT FOLLOWS...and I was SO freaked out I had to Wikipedia the Synopsis so I knew what was coming, otherwise I would never have made it through. Even then I was COMPLETELY freaked. Thank God I wasn't watching alone!

I was intrigued by the moral dilemma posed in this film when I first read of it in Scifi Magazine. Unfortunately, it quickly became one of those forgotten "take a look" things -- until I noticed that Syfy was running it.
Wow! Way more here than I expected. Subjected to the test posed, I suspect that today's Human Race would be unlikely to survive.
 
Last night I watched a doco at a documentary festival here in Sydney. It was called The Islands and the Whales. Pretty interesting insight into a very remote and traditional community - the whale killing was hard to watch though.

 
The Ring (2002)

If I only knew how good it is, I would have seen it sooner. Excellent remake of the 1998 horror movie Ringu (which I also need to see). If you haven't seen The RING, and you like horror films, check this out.


The Vatican Tapes (2015) Very dull exorcism flick, that I fell asleep near the end. Who cares.
 
Star Trek Beyond... Believability

I actually liked some of the recent ST films, the new one though is just so over the top it borders on a parody.

The Girl on The Train - Emily Blunt is brilliant.

Just saw this last weekend, too. I agree. Blunt is a fine actress and this was a terrific role for her. She gets across the daze of alcohol without over-doing, and she reacts to a betrayal in a believable manner. On the whole, it's a good, taut thriller.

I recently saw Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The premise is not really a unique concept, it reminded me of a gothic version of the x-men. But I love the atmosphere and the story was intriguing. Yesterday I picked up the book the movie is based on.

Be interested to see what you think of the book. I saw the movie, and was somewhat disappointed - didn't feel they made enough of the drama - seemed quite a stilted film. But I'd walk a mile to see Eva Green...
 
Terror in the Aisles (1984)

Actor, Donald Pleasance and actress, Nancy Allen take us through some of Hollywood's most terrifying moments in horror history in this collection of film scenes, which features many of the finest and strangest science fiction, crime drama and horror films of the 1930s through 1980s.

I remember seeing this in the theater. What a treat it was to see this on the big screen, and last night on DVD.
 
Just saw Captain Fantastic... It was a brilliant movie that is one of those movies where you can say it was brilliant but you can't really describe it? Other than it was brilliant! lol

Captain Fantastic Trailer.
 
saw The Accountant, and loved it! Ben Affleck does a wonderful job a portraying a "high-functioning" autistic adult involved in, well, various forms of crime. And really good at it, in his own way.
Also, this taught me a lot about autism...it's a much more complicated phenomenon than I knew.
This is a puzzle movie, and new layers of the onion keep getting peeled back throughout the movie. And effectively so.
I don't want to tell you much more than that, so as not to spoil anything. But I intend to go back, and likely more than once.
Enjoy it! (I will not be surprised to see this get best picture and best actor nominations.)

Magnificent 7. Excellent remake
Click to expand...

I'll endorse your judgment. In fact, I'd say this is the best of the numerous M7 movies that have come out since the original 1960 version!

This version of The Magnificent Seven, which stars Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt, was in some ways close to being a remake of the "original" (the quotes are a nod to the source, Kurosawa's Seven Samurai) -- this version even repeats some iconic lines from the "original." But the makers of this film went for diversity, which had interesting results.
(They also went for more firepower, please note...)
But the biggest change from the earlier film(s) is that this time the Seven did not have to go to Mexico to find a situation that needed their help -- this may reflect a reorientation of viewpoints, to see bad guys in American capitalism...
Worth seeing at least once, at least if you were a big fan of the Yul Brynner film. (Not going to win any acting awards, I'll add...)
 
I got to see Godzilla Resurgence at the Busan Internation Film Festival 2 weeks ago.
Better title: Neon Genesis Godzilla.
Godzilla now has point defenses like the J.J. Abrams enterprise, evolves like a Pokemon, and shoots fire from mouth and tail simultaneously. All them rads, bro.
Y'know, Japan...you might have been better off letting the US nuke Tokyo.
