That movie looks great! Probably wait for the Amazon Prime release this summer.
Just came back from the theater after watching Devil Wears Prada 2. OMG, the audience and yours truly laughed so hard! A perfect summer movie. It will not win any Oscars, but it hit the spot perfectly. Even my husband enjoyed it. He was one of the few dudes in the mostly female audience. ![]()
D2 and I felt the same way about Devil Wears Prada 2. H decided to skip it when we went to finish some drywall work!
Not really sure this qualifies as a movie, but I watched the Netflix documentary “ Life is Short” about Martin Short ( a favorite of mine) tonight and really enjoyed it. The dedications at the end made me cry.
My husband and I have been on an aviation disasters movie mini-binge. We are making our way through the Airport series. Also stumbled upon and watched the 2016 remake of the 1980 Soviet cult movie The Crew which was apparently one of the first Soviet action movies - if not the first. Ahh… gotta love those cheesy special effects.
I watched and liked Life Is Short also. The home movies of their get togethers with other celebrities were priceless. I kept looking for the now famous children of several of their friends.
We saw Obsession last night. Labeled as supernatural horror. Budget was under a million and has already made $75 million worldwide. The premise is a young man making a wish for a young woman to love him more than anything in the world. We thought it was excellent. The female lead was superb - Oscar buzz around her performance.
H saw that last night too. He loved it as well. I stayed home. I don’t do those kinds of movies in the theater. I need to be able to take breaks, if necessary
Looking forward to this one being released on June 12 (especially after having watched the Age of Disclosure documentary the other day)!
Can’t wait!
We enjoyed The Mandolorian and Grogu. Just a fun Star Wars movie.
Scenes and sounds reminiscient of the first Star Wars movie. My kids liked its ties to The Clone Wars and Rebels.
Yes! Just watched it today. Loved it!
We saw Backrooms in the theater last night. If I could have given it 0 stars, I would have. H said he liked it quite a bit. There’s was nothing in it for me. It’s very whacked out - and that’s putting it mildly. They didn’t really describe what in the blank the whole thing was all about. Or if they did, it was a very poor job of an explanation. Plus, all of the scenes shot like a bad quality go pro left me nauseous. Blech.
It was also by far the most crowded theater I’ve been in since covid. It was mostly teenagers. I was annoyed from the beginning but all of their giggles and oohs and screams actually was a nice distraction.
The other weird thing was that there were zero previews. The movie started right at 7. Strange, but I was glad not to have to sit there any longer
Husband and I tried watching this last night on Max and made it halfway through. Beautifully produced and acted, no doubt, but very unpleasant. Neither of us want to watch the rest of it. Husband said, aren’t movies supposed to be entertainment? I said sometimes they’re supposed to be art.
I’d rather watch Paul Newman hustle
and I’d rather watch Forrest Gump play ping pong.
What movie? I looked back to see what @Juno16 posted but couldn’t find a post.
Sorry, Marty Supreme. It was a February post.
Same here. Hated the character/story too much to wait for the redemption(?) at the end. Just too painful and the opposite of entertaining.

entertaining. not quite horror but had an intense car scene.
We saw it last night. It was disappointing after the hype. This is the background (doesn’t make the movie better!)
The Backrooms originated from an anonymous, unassuming photo posted on the imageboard website 4chan in May 2019. An anonymous user shared an image of a dingy, off-yellow empty space and another user captioned it with a terrifying premise: if you “noclip” (a video game term for glitching through a solid wall) out of reality, you end up there.

The original photo was traced to a furniture store in Wisconsin.
