The Movie and TV Thread

Updated:   Published

I started a thread here that I meant to put somewhere else,  and I erased it.  So what to discuss in the coffee lounge?

Have you seen any good movies lately?  

Last movie I saw was "The Last Duel". Pretty good.

Anyone seen "Dune"?  I see it's available for streaming and might rent it.  It's up for an Academy Award for best picture.

Saw "Elvis" in the theater.  Very well done and acted.  At 2 hours and 40 minutes it was a bit too long for my tastes but it did hold my attention.

I've rewatched True Detective 3 seasons and I still think it's a masterpiece

Saw the movie Mass.  It came to my attention when it won a "Spirit Award" awards given to Indie movies.  It's about the parents of a mass murderer meeting with the parents of one of his victims.  Great acting and a difficult watch.

When to the theaters to see "Nope".  Wikipedia describes it as "American epic neo-Western science fiction horror film ".  It was very well done and very well acted.  My friend thought the social commentary was brilliant as there were some metaphors that he caught.

Another good movie I rented was "Benediction".  A good true story about an anti-war poet whom after WWI wrote about the horrors of war.  In his private life he was homosexual but being those times he eventually married and had a son.

I saw a weird British movie on Amazon Prime called "All My Friends Hate Me".  Is he paranoid having a mental breakdown or is something really going on?

Saw a decent Australian movie called "Gold".  It stars teen heart throb, now in his 30's Zac Efron who really showed some good acting chops.  I would give it a B.

Apparently the box office was pretty dismal this Labor Day with Top Gun taking the top spot after many weeks of being out.  The demise of movie theaters due to covid and stream bothers me some.  But time will do what it does.

One new movie I saw in the theaters yesterday is 3000 Years of Longing.  A pretty good movie with good special effects.  3.5 out of 5 stars.

An offbeat movie with an annoying antagonist that was actually good.
