Last movie you watched......

Hey OT, have you seen Making A Murderer yet?

 

I’m really curious…

Would this movie be just as good if the boy was a senior in high school and had just turned 18?

 

You mean it's J.R. Moehringer's memoir.

I haven't seen "The Tender Bar" yet, but I want to. I read the book, so I'm interested in the movie.

If your review is true, it would just make the movie the same as the book, which was good but also dragged a bit in spots.

 

I just now realized that the title is bartender backwards, basically.

 

Thanks for the correction. I got the bogus name from the first Google result for Tender Bar. I should have looked deeper.

Watched Matrix Resurrections on HBO Max last night. It takes a while to get out from under its own legend and start moving.

 

Perhaps the quiintessential Oregon movie, though not the best - finally saw Sometimes a Great Notion. Always good to find a Paul Newman movie you haven't seen before - throw in Henry Fonda, Lee Remick and Michael Sarazin - and shot on location - it does help explain/foretell the "two Oregons" thing - the rock-ribbed Republican/bug-eyed liberal dichotomy of the state.

 

Ken Kesey. His other great book. Well worth a read.

 

“The Eternals.” A Marvel miss.

 

It Chapter Two - like the first one - the idea of Pennywise was always more terrifying than seeing him in action. And Chapter Two is so full of mayhem it wears you out and desensitizes you about 40 minutes in when you still have another two hours to go. I do wish they dug more into Mike's story though - he seemed central to the story and yet he seemed to be pushed into the background and only used when they needed to "explain" things.

And finally saw Judy. Zellweger earned that Oscar as much for her singing performances as anything else. The film did a good job of showing why people loved her as much as they did. Almost grateful that she didn't hang on longer than she did - it would have been embarassing to see her on The Love Boat or Murder She Wrote. But then again - she could have been the female version of Tony Bennett in the '80s.

 

The Card Counter, thought it would be about gambling, I was wrong. Too drool and too dark.

 

I watched "Bad Day at Black Rock" for the first time. Amazing movie.

It is simple in many ways. It's a type of Western. The structure of the screenplay is a classic three part construction. The characters' clothes all indicate their status in the movie. It is shot like a play for the most part.

But it is beautifully shot with the US West background. I wish I saw it in a theater. It has a good car chase. The acting is great and the story is a subtle political statement.

Its simplicity made it so good.
