Last movie you watched......

Saw "A Beautiful Mind" for the first time Friday.

Thought Russell Crowe was outstanding. I could look it up but other than Jennifer Connelly, did this film pick up any other Oscars? I usually like any movie with Christopher Plummer in it. Thought the scene when Crowe punches Plummer in the face was kind of amusing.

 

Best picture, best directing, best adapted screenplay.

 

Revenant. I'd like my 2:36 back, please.

 

But other than that, it wasn't received well by critics.

 

Deadpool. Loved it.

"Fucking finish her the fuck off."
"Language, please."
"SUCK A COCK!"

 

Johnny Dangerously was just on TV. What a classic.

EDIT: By the by... whatever happened to our Johnny?

 

I also recently saw 'The Revenant' and really liked it.

Could've done without most of the flashbacks and the dead wife, but still a good movie.

Might've been even better just telling the real story with all the contrivances.

 

About 1:30 in, I was not digging it but thought "Hell, I've watched it this far, may as well finish it." Wouldn't had I known there was another frigging hour.

 

Free State of Jones over the weekend. I knew a little about the story before watching it and I read about it more after watching the movie. I don't know how historically accurate the film is, but it's a fun (and frustrating) ride. As a Northern who's infuriated by the amount of Confederate icons I see displayed on cars or shirts of some people around here (when nearby cemeteries are full of their dead ancestors who fought for the Union), it was refreshing to see a decent-size crowd in the theater.

 

Was on a mothballed Aircraft Carrier for the 4th and happened on Top Gun showing in the pilots briefing room; very cool to watch ending there, so went home and saw it again from beginning; IMHO so fun to see jets and hear in surround sound

 

Anglophiles: "The Lady in the Van" gets two enthusiastic thumbs up. Maggie Smith is a nutty old woman who lives in a van in playwright Alan Bennett's driveway for 15 years. Nutty, deluded, cantankerous, but with a helluva backstory. Based on true events. Bonus: For fans of another Bennett work, "The History Boys," nearly the entire cast makes cameos in this flick.

 

Just watched 'Joy' the other day.
Not good.
