I’d highly recommend the Sully movie. Well written, well acted, and compelling even though you know how it turns out.
Snowden was very good, too. Scary as hell to realize how much surveillance has been going on. Time to put tape over the laptop camera…
@Mansfield - We saw Sully last night and had the same reaction as you. It was good, but I said I would have been fine to wait to see it on TV. The back story was interesting (the investigation) and something I didn’t know about, but we were like “eh”.
Definitely want to see Southside With You, and the Meryl Streep movie which I can’t think of the name of. The challenge is getting DH out to see a couple of chick flicks. I’m assuming there are no explosions or car chases in either of them.
@Pizzagirl, how was the Beatles documentary? Is it worth seeing?
I took myself to see “Light Between the Oceans” last weekend. Hadn’t read the book as never had gotten around to ti but I will now. Knew the plot but it as pretty obvious what was going to happen. Of course it was melodramatic but I enjoyed it. Beautiful filmed, a little slow but I think that was intentional. Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander and Rachel Weisz all worked well together. There were some heavy handed visual clues.
“Petrified Forest” (1936). Depression-era movie with Humphrey Bogart on his rise to fame. Great movie!
Also, “Across the Pacific” (1942). WW2 movie filmed during the war. Very interesting plot, based on the story “Aloha means goodbye”. One of Bogart’s better films in terms of acting. Sydney Greenstreet is also in it, and is fantastic… as usual.
