What Movie Are You Watching?

So in that case, probably not. But in my world where it would cost half that, I would not be upset.

I don't go too the theatre anymore. I wait for films to stream. Infinitely cheaper, way more comfortable, and usually quieter.

That being said, I can't wait to see this one.

This was our first in 2 1/2 years. Saw TG:Maverick and then Jurassic Worldominion a month apart and then nothing till this.

The time between theatrical release and streaming release are so much shorter than they used to be.

Twisters (2024)- Not a bad sequel of sorts to the original Twister (1996). Outstanding twister effects while storm chasers, chase them, decent story.

Defiance (2008)- WWII, ‘Jewish brothers in German-occupied Eastern Europe escape into a Belorussian forest, where they join Russian resistance fighters, and endeavor to build a village, in order to protect themselves and about one thousand Jewish non-combatants’. Excellent story.

Toy Story 2 (1999)- Toy Story put Pixar on the map. Toy Story 2 is just as wonderful with a touch of horror as Stinky Pete ends up wearing lip stick.

The Children’s Train (2024)- Netflix. Surprisingly powerful story of a boy in post WWll Italy whose mother living in poverty in Naples, volunteers to send him North (along with hundreds of other children), to families who want to provide them with a normal life, even if it is just for a while. For me, an emotional ending.

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)- A movie masterpiece, Pulitzer Prize winning book. Filmed on the backlot in Hollywood. Children of a lawyer learn about racism in Alabama, 1932 during the depression. I’ve always loved movies portraying the US South and its human blemishes. A portrayal of historical white privilege. This story might make you feel sick.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)- A great telling of this story.

Red One (2024)- BA HUMBUG!! Seriously.

The concept and execution just did not grab me.

It won't replace Die Hard as my favorite Christmas movie.
