What's New in this Club

"Asleep in My Palm" is an indie movie that came out in March of this year. I'll post a review that gives the plot about a father and daughter living off the grid. Really good story that touches on a several topics about society at large. Surprise ...

"Civil War" is a really good movie. Set in what appears to the present time or near future it's a time when a President refuses to leave office and takes a third term, causing California and Texas to secede and form an alliance called the "Western F...

"I Used To Be Funny" is about a woman struggling with PTSD and her connection with a teenager she was a nanny for that shows up missing. It's promoted as a "dramedy" but for me there wasn't much to chuckle about. Really good movie.

"I Am Celine Dion" is an Amazon Prime documentary that chronicles Ms. Dion's current condition with chronic disease. She bravely allows herself to be filmed as herself without makeup and vulnerable. Her grief and the loss of her ability to sing and...

I watched Dune Part 2 and liked it okay. To me it had some slow moving boring parts but overall the special effects and visuals were good. It's obviously a big budget movie and made over $700 million at the worldwide box office.

WIth a couple of days left in Pride Month, I thought I'd watch a documentary about queer comedians. I really liked how it presented the perspective of comedians from decades ago to today and how things have changed. It ends with commentary on the c...

I watched this a few days ago. It was fun.

"The Hit Man" is a Netflix movie about a man played by red hot actor Glen Powel who works part time for the police pretending to be a hit man to catch people who want to hire a hit man for murder. It gets complicated when he falls for a woman wantin...

"Thelma" is a delightful story of an older woman that was scammed out of $10,000 and her quest to get it back. She faces the reality of growing older as widow, as someone that's lost a lot of friends, and some family dynamics. Great movie.

"Aisha" tells the tale of a Nigerian woman attempting asylum in Ireland and her having to navigate that system. She's played by Letitia Wright who is famous from being in the Blank Panther movies. She does an excellent job of capturing the characte...

The Mattachine Family is a good movie that was released this week to streaming on June 4th. It made the rounds of the LGBTQ+ movie circuit. In honor of Pride Month I picked a queer movie to watch. It tells the story of a gay married couple who...

I love films that take place in the American west during the 1800s. There are a lot of good western movies like Silverado or Seraphim Falls.

"The Last Stop in Yuma County" is a crime drama that was just released in theaters and streaming on May 10th. I watched it based on good reviews. It centers around a diner in which bank robbers are holding a traveling salesmen a waitress hostage. ...

"Damsel" is a Netflix fantasy action movie about a land long ago in an imaginary kingdom where a princess was tossed into a dragon's den as a sacrifice. It's good for what it is, some entertaining mind candy that's entertaining and not too dee...

"How To Have Sex" is a British film that received wide acclaim and got my attention by the good reviews and that it was nominated for Best British Film at the British Academy Awards. The lead actress won a British Academy Award for breakout performa...

"LaRoy, Texas" is a suspenseful movie released simultaneously to theaters and streaming April 12th, and is about a mild mannered man that finds himself a hit man. It's presented in somewhat of a light hearted way (like Fargo) and there are many laye...

I ordinarily wouldn't choose a movie like "The Miracle Club" but a friend recommended it and I like the cast. The plot of "estranged child returns to hometown..." is a tired old one. Still, the movie wasn't that bad. The cast had a lot of dem...

"The Promised Land" is a Danish movie (I watched the English dubbed version) about a poor ex-Army Captain that sets out to farm a very inhospitable land in Denmark and the high price he and those around him pay. The lead actor, Mads Mikkelsen,...

I have been having a heck of a time re-finding this thread. I ended up going back two years on my "followed content" to find a post that was listed from here. So, I have been saving a few things to post when I FINALLY found my way back! And here I am...

I saw it when it came out and agree it's an excellent movie.

Beau is Afraid was a movie I put on my watchlist in January after seeing it on NPR's lists of the best movies of 2023. It stars Joaquin Phoenix as a mentally ill man with mommy issues. There's a lot to unpack in the nearly 3-hour movie and it becam...
