Movies 7-11-21

 Soccer (futbol outside the USA) has taken over most of our evenings recently - Copa America (Argentina "beat" Brazil), Euro Championship (Italy "beat" England) - so we haven't watched as many as we normally would.  

Will start with the one you should avoid at all costs - my husband is still "talking" about how bad it was

     The Lightkeepers - Richard Dreyfus and Blythe Danner, both excellent actors, the story is just so "flakey", even with the lovely Cape Cod scenery, it just was 👎👎👎👎 

     Nuts - Richard Dreyfus and Barbra Streisand are both outstanding in their roles.  Long before sexual abuse was in the "news" this story hit the nail right on the head.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

     Newton's Law - season 1 - Australian series.  Light hearted, comic relief in regards to crime, as only the Australians can do it.👍👍👍👍

     My Life in Ruins - Richard Dreyfus and Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding star).  Story is rather light and fluffy, the Greek scenery is Amazing!👍👍👍👍

     Father of the Bride - Steve Martin's version.   I know I saw the original with Spencer Tracy years and years ago, this one was so much FUN, especially Martin Short's part! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

     Mr. Holland's Opus - Richard Dreyfus, Glenne Headly.  What a beautiful love story of music, and some really GREAT music from the '60's, '70's, which brought back lots of memories! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Obviously, I was on a Richard Dreyfus movie theme. 

Hope you will find something you will enjoy.

See you at the movies👀👀

Movie Update 6-28-21

 Boy, it is HOT👎 out, so I decided to try to stay cool and post some new titles we have recently watched.

Some have been watched, and listed before on this post, some are "old" but never viewed before, some are recent.... 

Doctor Zhivago  --- the original with Omar and Julie.  Be a GOOD one to watch during this heat wave - with all the snow scenes.

Foyle's War - season 7 and 3 (finally!)  Foyle ALWAYS get his suspect!

Simone -  forget it.  

Frida - WOW! WOW!

King's Speech - always an inspiration.

Clear and Present Danger - on the edge of our seats

Midnight Run - silly, but fun

You've Got Mail - always enjoy Tom and Meg together

Bringing Down the House - Steve Martin, Queen Latifah, and Eugene Levy bring it on!

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe - TAWANDA!

Manon of the Spring - French - shows the crime doesn't pay.

Shakespeare and Hathaway - seasons 1 & 2 - BBC "light" private investigators ---- Sebastian is a HOOT!

Awful Truth - hmmm?

Good- bye Girl never saw this before, sometimes waiting is the best!

Wag the Dog - never saw this before, should have watched it in the run up to the 2020 election.....

How to Marry a Millionaire - never saw this before, Marilyn, Lauren and Betty "glam" it up to catch millionaires.

Stay COOL.

Hope you find a movie to your liking!😄

See you at the movies next time👀

Recent Movies 3-28-21

Recent Movies that we have watched.......  Once again, no particular order....

City Slickers --- Billy and friends make rounding up cattle look Oh so easy   👍👍👍👍👍 

Legally Blonde --- started out rather silly, moved on to not so bad after all👍👍👍👍

Nothing in Common ---- one of Tom Hanks' movies that was totally unenjoyable for me, since I "love" him so much 👍👍

Last Vegas ---- not a Michael Douglas fan, however, I LOVE Robert, Morgan and Kevin, so I brought this home, one of the few movies where I could see my husband laughing, laughing, laughing over the antics of the over the hill guys!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Strangers in Good Company ---- Canadian film from around 1980, group of women become stranded in the Canadian wilderness, they share secrets of their lives.  Actual photos of the women from their earlier years --- looking this up, it seems that the dialogue was ad-libbed for most of the movie. NOT an action movie. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Pelican Brief ----- adapted from John Grisham's book of the same title.  Excellent acting from both Julia and Denzel, on the edge of your seat suspense in many scenes.👍👍👍👍👍👍

To Catch A Thief ---- Cary Grant and Grace Kelly come together in one of Alfred Hitchcock's better films - great scenery.  One of those films that we can both watch often 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Sleeping with the Enemy ---- Julia's great performance in probably the best drama she's been in. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Last Chance Harvey ---- Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, 2 lonely people who come from different worlds.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Intern --- Robert DeNiro's most enjoyable film ---- LOVE the scene when he and the 3 young guys break and enter into Anne Hathaway's mother's house to delete an email on the mother's laptop!  Another one we can watch frequently.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Go Gonzaga!!!!!!  

3-14-21 Movies Watched

 Well, it's been exactly one month since I last posted movies we have watched lately.  Probably no reviews, you will see a theme with some movies ---- same actors in some.    We did watch several Walter Matthau - Jack Lemmon films, think they were a spectacular pair to work together.

King Creole   New Orleans with Elvis and Walter  👍👍

Tea With Mussolini   based on Franco Zeffirelli's childhood during WWII 👍👍👍👍👍

The Big Year  who knew there was a "contest" to see how many birds one could see in a year's time?👍👍👍👍

Cactus Flower  Goldie Hawn's performance won her Best supporting actress Oscar

Dressmaker  only Kate Winslet could pull this one off 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Our Kind of Traitor 👍👍👍👍

House Calls   Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson  👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brewster's Millions   Richard Pryor and John Candy 👍👍👍👍

Hopscotch  Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson  👍👍👍👍

Close Encounters of the Third Kind  this sci-fi stands the test of time 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Foyle's War  Season 2  👍👍👍👍👍👍

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy   Alec Guinness, the one and only actor for this series   👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Foyle's War   Season 4  (there's a long wait list for season 3, so we will watch it when it is available)  👍👍👍👍👍👍

Odd Couple   Walter and Jack  👍👍👍👍👍👍 

Grumpy Old Men   Walter and Jack  👍👍👍👍👍👍

New Leaf  Walter and Elaine May --- we can watch this one over and over, and still laugh at all the right places👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Fellini's  8 1/2    our copy has white subtitles over black and white film, there is TOO much white and not enough black, so it's not enjoyable   👍👍

Well, I hope you find something you will enjoy.

See you at the movies 👀

Movies, Movies, and More Movies 2-14-21

 Well, we have watched some really interesting movies since my last posting......   Once again, you will note that some movies have the same actors.....

No particular order again, may add some remarks, mainly just the thumbs up.......

Burlesque  (ok, so we are dinosaurs, have never heard Christina Aguilera sing before, Oh My what a voice!)👍👍👍👍👍

Mermaids  loved the music and the '57 Chevys in the film 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Foyle's War  (season 1)  re-watching this series  👍👍👍👍👍👍

Eye of the Needle  👍👍👍

Company Business  this was so much more suspenseful than Eye of the Needle, and better acting  👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Moonstruck -- great music,  👍👍👍👍

Legal Eagles  - whatever happened to Debra Winger?  👍👍👍

Antonio Lopez 1970 Sex Fashion & Disco  - since my husband enjoys watching anything about the Fashion industry, I picked this up.  Did not know anything at all about Antonio.  What an artist!   Grace Jones, Jerry Hall, Jessica Lange, plus a few other well known actors, owe their careers to Antonio.......  Andy Warhol and Antonio were competitors in the New York scene, one was either in one or the other's group, but not both. Well worth watching, not a happy ending, however.  👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The Great Waldo Pepper ---- great aerial shots, acting not so much  👍👍👍👍

Bird on a Wire 👍👍👍

The Last Holiday ---- oh I LOVE Queen Latifah and LL Cool J!👍👍👍👍👍👍

Bad Education ----- I am probably the only woman in the world who is not enthralled with Hugh Jackman, that being said, on the suggestion of a co-worker I brought this home. Based on a true story, Hugh Jackman did an incredible job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Well, if you are snowed in like we are, maybe you will find something on this list to help pass the time....

Happy viewing👀

The Ungodly

 Psalm 1

King James Version

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

So, all those Republicans who have supported a corrupt, dishonorable, UNGODLY former president, should take these words to heart --- for they SHALL be judged on Judgment Day, and how WILL they be able to account, honestly, for their actions?

History will show that the Republican party submitted its moral integrity, just so they can be re-elected over doing what is GOOD, HONEST and MORALLY correct to keep our Democracy strong!  

Shame on them!

Movies we have watched 1-30-21

Well, it has been almost a full month since I last posted movies we have watched.  One thing that I have started doing is looking for movies that have associated actor(s) in them, so there are quite a few that have the same actor, which you will be able to figure out.

We have enjoyed almost every one of them, couple that we probably wouldn't consider again, some we would.

As usual, no particular order, I might make a comment, but basically no reviews, just thumbs up or down......

Chef👍👍👍this was the East Indian version of the American film - not nearly as enjoyable, as we were unable to get English subtitles for the film, sometimes the dialogue was in English, then it would go back to Hindi. 

Well, I hope you will find something to consider watching, and hope you will enjoy.

Happy Watching!

Martin Luther King Day 1-18-21

 

Today is Martin Luther King Day   1-18-21.   

What he attempted to accomplish with unity of the peoples, has been "smeared" with the insurrection on January 6, 2021!  

Today's Daily Guidepost scripture verse is the following:

1 Samuel 16:7

King James Version

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

What a shame that so many So-Called Christians have not heeded the words from the Bible, that they say they follow.

A Day Our Country Will Never Forget, Thanks to DDIC! 1-6-21

Today (1-6-21) is a day that anyone, who has any sense of decency, will NEVER forget, thanks in part to Draft Dodger in Chief,  followed by several Republican Senators who have fallen victims to the lies and falsehoods of Draft Dodger in Chief.

A woman died today, due to the idiocy of the following Senators, who have not exhibited a backbone to STAND UP to Draft Dodger in Chief.  They are 

     Senator Ted Cruz

     Senator Josh Hawley

     Senator  Ron Johnson

     Senator James Lankford

     Senator Steve Daines

     Senator  John Kennedy

     Senator Marsha Blackburn

     Senator Mike Braun

     Senator Cynthia Lummis

     Senator Roger Marshall

     Senator Bill Haggerly

     Senator  Tommy Tuberville

The NEED to be held accountable!

It is time for YOU to take a stand, and email these Senators and all the other Republicans in the Senate and the House, who have for the past 4 years NEVER had a backbone to STAND UP to Draft Dodger in Chief!

The health and well being of YOUR Country is at stake!   We ARE NOT a BANANA REPUBLIC!  

Happy New Year 2021 and Movies

Happy New Year!💖🎉🍷
