AccountDeleted Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 K-PAX. I had watched it before but I enjoyed it just as much this time around. Keven Spacey is one of my favorite actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not A Mallard Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Paddington A fun story with a good message about hospitality to strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgnatiusofLoyola Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don't know why I haven't read this thread before. I have become a Netflix streaming addict, and have watched a LOT of movies in the past 6 months (with many of them being forgettable). "Groundhog Day" was added to Netflix streaming in March, so I watched it yesterday. I hadn't seen the movie since it first came out. I remembered it being a funny movie, but it was even better than I remembered (and even had a message, although not a deep one). I'd recommend it.

Not A Mallard Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Three Days of the Condor - rated R An intriguing and suspenseful Robert Redford-led thriller about a CIA analyst who's the target of assassins. A "romantic" subplot that takes up much the movie involving the hostage-taking of a woman, and which leads to the "lovers" sleeping together afterwards, doesn't come off as romantic at all. Yet, the movie is generally well-made with great acting and directing, though a jazzy musical score that was common for 70's movies offers unintentional comic relief.

Not A Mallard Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Star Trek: First Contact - rated PG-13 An okay science-fiction thriller, but it's not Star Trek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Romantics Anonymous (Les emotives romantiques - ou a epaulé quelque chose comme ça). Cute, quick, and slightly quirky little movie; maybe one 'bad' scene for the scrupulous amongst us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The Angriest Man in Brooklyn with Robin Williams. This is a quirky movie about an angry man who has a cerebral aneurysm and is told by an equally angry young female doctor, who is having a bad day, that he has only 90 minutes left to live. The movie is about what the man decides to do in the last 90 minutes of his life, and the doctor's frantic attempts to find him after he leaves the hospital and she realizes what she has done. This is further complicated by the fact that upon closer inspection of the man's x-rays, she discovers that his aneurysm is already bleeding into his brain and he could die at any minute. She wants to get him back into hospital so he can be seen by a neurosurgeon. The man tries to locate members of his family to say goodbye, and the doctor tries to locate him but they both keep missing by minutes and having to continue the search. Not boring.

Not A Mallard Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The Hundred-Foot Journey It was good. Not great, but good. It involves an Indian family moving to France where they set up an Indian restaurant across the street from a French restaurant. I enjoyed the first act the most, before the restaurants really tried to bring each other down. With that said, it all leads to a satisfying redemption, though a romantic subplot between young chefs from both restaurants slows the plot down.

HopefulHeart Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Sweet Smell of Success, a drama from the fifties about a tangled web of corruption surrounding a prominent columnist in NYC. It has a good script and was well-acted, but it doesn't have a very rosy view of humanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Belle - it's like Amazing Grace meets something maybe Jane Austenian (although based on a true story). I actually found the act very convincing, something that doesn't always work in a historical piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Finally got a chance to see Big Hero 6. I was pretty impressed. It had a good message, and the animation was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Philosopher Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I got Song of the Sea on DVD and watched it two times in a row (the second time showing it to a friend). My initial impressions when I saw it in theater are now confirmed. It's pretty much an instant favourite for me. Totally different in tone, content and style from most mainstream western animation these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulHeart Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Portrait of Jennie, a somewhat unusual romance from the 40s, starring Joseph Cotten and Jennifer Jones. I liked it. It was interesting how the filmmakers used a green fiddler (in an otherwise mostly B&W film) to shoot the climactic scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
