The Green Book... Which was good although very predictable. I love the setting details of the 60's. I am a retired teacher but tutor kids in my classroom. I also am really interested in history from the Holocaust forward. There is a book Anne and the Green Book which had a lot of details that the movie never touched on.

If you ask me what movie I'm not tired of watching is Boyhood, I had a thought the movie was portraying my life.

Latest Review: Gringo by Dan "Tito" Davis

Apostle. It's the story of a woman taken by a creepy, torture cult in 1905. It's not unlike the Wicker Man and it does turn up the gore fairly heavily at times. The tension is played perfectly and the performances are pretty damn good. I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars.

One of the good old good ones, Iron Man from 1951 with Jeff Chandler, Evelyn Keyes, Steven McNalley and a young Rock Hudson. An excellent movie about the fight game, about a brutal fighter who goes crazy in the ring and almost kills his opponents. Very realistic, these guys really connected. One of the best fight movies ever.

The last movie I was was how to train a dragon. It was honestly magical. I took my nephew to go see the movie last week. He jumped up and down saying how great it was. I really loved the story in the movie the 2 dragon last of there kind coming to getting to rull over the dragons. Even though there not the biggest or the strongest they are respected by the other dragons.

Peranbu


It's a Tamil movie. Actually I'm not into Tamil movies but this changed my whole idea of those. This film features a father, and a daughter who is physically crippled, and the difficulties and sorrow this father face. Peranbu went on to win lots of awards, and it was named the 'classic mega hit' movie of the last 5 years...A must watch

Not exactly a movie, but a 90 minute documentary about the Aztec empire in Mexico. Very interesting, it told of a lot of things about the Aztecs and their demise that arent commonly known. One of the best.

I love that movie. I have watched the first and second part at least 8 times. I am not kidding. Whenever I see animated movies I become a child myself.

Whoa, I can't believe someone mentioned a Tamil movie in this forum. I heard so much about this movie. Ram is an excellent director. If you are able to, please watch "Tharamani".
Its an amazing movie starring Andrea.

i saw isn't it romantic. It's about a woman who has to find and love herself to find love and happiness. A super cute and fun movie to see.

The last movie I caught in the cinema was Captain Marvel, not going to lie I'm probably the definition of a Marvel shill so they can give me 3 and half hours of Robert Downey Junior meowing on screen and I'd praise it, but seriously I thought Captain Marvel was an all around enjoyable time at the movies, it had a few continuity issues in my problem, but a solid 8/10 movie.

The last movie we watched was A Star is Born and it was very good. Lady KaKa plays a well-developed role flawlessly. She is very likable and relatable. You can feel her passion and inner turmoil. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars. I felt the ending was a little rushed! I have and will continue to recommend this movie!

Well, the most recent movie I watched was Pokémon the movie: I Choose you! But I much rather talk about the movie I watched before that, Captain Marvel. I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be good, but I was blown away! I give it 10/10 as well as bonus points for the cat.
