Spoilers What Movie Are You Watching?

Will have to wait until it becomes available for streaming. The trailer editing made me think of Get Out, but I think it's a trend in trailers for heightened drama dark movies. The pigeon blood splatter was mint.

My favourite dialogue exchange:
"What happened to your dress?"
"Wolves."

Flame Over India (North West Frontier) (1959)

th


A train of refuges has to travel 300 miles to safety through a rebellion.

It has a good cast including Kenneth More, Lauren Bacall, and Herbert Lom and I recommend it if you enjoy older movies.
 
Lincoln (2012)- Good movie about the struggle of President Lincoln to get the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery passed before the end of the Civil War. Outstanding performances, slow moving. 😉

Yesterday, Sunday, we went to see "The Favourite".

I can't praise it highly enough.

Actors who manage to convey these grotesque characters without cartoonish caricature. Behind the ghastly wigs and face paint (and that's just the men!) there are real humans who plot and love and suffer…

Sure, the film plays loose and fast with history — but not in a way that had me tearing out my hair as I often do with many of the current "historical" films/series.
This requires suspension of disbelief. And I for one was happy to just willingly go along and join in.

The soundtrack is smashing. A great use of Baroque/19th Century/20th…

Go and see it if it shows near you. It is brilliant.

Highly recommended.
Rachel Weisz in "shooting dress" is a stunner.
Though Olivia Colman really does steal the show.

Ah, I hadn't visited this thread in a while.

Excellent.

A must-see then, over the coming week.

Good night to re-watch the 1999 docu Buena Vista Social Club.

Their music warms the heart and distracts from an incoming snowdump over the weekend!

Amen to that, they most certainly bring sunshine to the soul.

I heard them play live on a European tour almost twenty years ago; sublime.

We gathered around the TV last night and watched "The House With A Clock In Its Walls". I highly recommend this one! It's funny and touching. Jack Black and Cate Blanchett really brought the characters to life! A great family movie! Had a very 80's vibe to it that I liked! Very much an Amblin film!
