Movies we have watched recently 5-17-22

 Been a while since I last posted movies recently watched.

Some titles are stand-by favorites, while waiting for holds to come into the library, so there are "re-runs" listed.

Commentary may or may not follow title.


Best Exotic Marigold Hotel  πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘


Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel  πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘


Summer of Soul (2022 Oscar winner for best documentary) πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ 


Judge John Deed  seasons 3,4,5,6 πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘there are time when I wish he would use better judgement in his behavior towards women - keep his hands to himself, and quit fooling around!


Northern Exposure  seasons 1,2,3,4,5  πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘  after reading "We Had a Little Real Estate Problem" about Native American comedians, with Elaine Miles being the only Native American woman mentioned in the book, and being involved with N.E., we decided to go back and re-watch the series.  Ironically, since we obviously watched these back in the '90's, neither one of us has remembered one episode!  Have enjoyed them even more, now that I have a different perspective regarding Native Americans in "comedy". 


Summerdahl series 2 πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Danish mystery series.


Hinterland series 2 πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Welsh series, rather dark at times, but the countryside scenes are top notch. Several of the actors involved have been in other Acorn series we have watched, so it is interesting to see them in different roles.    Currently, we are watching series 3.


Black Panther πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘Wakanda Forever!  LOVE LOVE LOVE the Rhinos!


The Good Year πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘about the only Russell Crowe movie we watch, and enjoy.


And that's a wrap for this post!

See you at the movies πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

Who Will They Come For Next?

 

“First they came . . .” by Martin Niemoller

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

 — Martin NiemΓΆller

One can only hope that The Supreme Court won't open the flood gates further!  Because there won't be anyone to speak for YOU!
