Movies watched since the last posting in July

It has been ages since I last posted all the movies we have watched since July of 2022.

You will no doubt see duplicates from previous lists - when I cannot get DVDs from the library, we rewatch our own DVDs.  They are not in any particular order, I don't plan on making any comments. I will note series watched and add a quick comment about them.

Grab yourself a cup of tea, or whatever, as it is a very long list, here goes. 

The Women --- To Catch A Thief --- Finding Forrester 

All That Jazz --- The Book Club --- Last Chance Harvey 

Big Bang Theory seasons 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

The Visitor --- Millions --- When Harry Met Sally

Callas --- Queens of Mystery season 2

Dead Zone --- Man Of The Year --- Before We Die

Nine Months --- Clockwise --- Charade

Housekeeping --- NCIS season 19

Roxanne --- One Lane Bridge seasons 1,2

Hidden Assets --- Bridget Jones' Diary

The Chelsea Detective season 1

Raising Helen --- Planes, Trains and Automobiles 

The Hundred Foot Journey --- Inkheart

Van Der Valk season 1 --- Draft Day

Yesterday --- Moonstruck --- Little Drummer Girl

Delicious series 1,2 --- The Intern

Man With One Red Shoe

Some of the series I discovered on the Acorn website.

The One Lane Bridge, set in New Zealand, has a supernatural twist to it. 

We really enjoyed The Chelsea Detective series, looking forward to more of this series.

Hidden Assets was interesting - the lead female was one of the singers in the movie "The Commitments".

Van Der Valk is a Dutch/Belguim series, looking forward to more of this series.

Delicious started out really "sappy", however, it was just the first episode that we found that way - another one with a slightly supernatural aspect to it.

So that is a wrap for this year's movies.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and that 2023 will bring us some really GREAT movies.

See you at the movies.

James Bond Movies watched posted 12-20-22

 It has been over 5 months since I lasted posted any of the movies we have watched, so here goes.

Earlier this year, NPR had a program on the "oldest film franchise" in the world ---- that being James Bond.  As it had been years since we had seen some of them, also there were several we had not seen, we decided to watch the entire series, so away we went!

The family behind the James Bond movies, also have another interesting claim, their family is connected to the vegetable Broccoli.  Visit this link to see the story

I had always like Sean Connery, and Roger Moore, the best, however, in rewatching the series, I had an interesting reaction to the Sean and Roger films, they were the most sexist of all.

I had not thought much regarding Daniel Craig, however, that did change in watching the series.  There was just something about the way he carried himself that seemed more interesting. 

Bond, James Bond!

As you can see there are 24 films in the series, so it did take considerable amount of time to go through the series ---- especially since I had to place holds on the DVDs through the library system.  While we waited for some of them to come in, we watched other movies, which will be in a different post.

By the way, the franchise turned 60 years old this year.  I do remember seeing Goldfinger in the theater when it came out, think I was in 10th grade?

Well, over and out.

Enjoy.  See you at the movies!
