What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Two Types]

The Dawns Here Are Quiet (1972) Russian war film about a group of female anti-aircraft gunners, led by an old sergeant, sent to hunt down a German patrol.

A splendid film, it was recently remade in the Tamil language in India about a forest guard who recruits some young female students to hunt down mercenaries sent to destroy India's space research.

Titanic set on land. I agree.

Without the horrible soundtrack.

The Lego Movie

 

[Monsoon]

Just saw "Godzilla" and "Edge of Tomorrow" this month.

Godzilla was good. Hoped it would be better. Edge of Tomorrow was very good.

Edge of Tomorrow last night. Enjoyed it very much. Groundhog Day meets Starship Troopers.

Was able to watch "Lone Survivor" this evening. Interesting story.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Corvette Summer (1978) with Annie Potts, and Mark Hamill.

 

[Fading Fast]

"Craig's Wife" starring Rosalind Russell and John Boles (you'd recognize him, but might not - like me - know his name). They play a wealthy married couple where she is a dominating control nut who cares so much about appearances and "her home" that she turns away all of his old friends and any potential new friends. For most of the story, she hides this from her husband, until a series of events makes this impossible and the movie climaxes when he realizes how controlling and cold she is - I'll leave the outcome unmentioned in case you want to see it.

The movie is okay. It moves along at a good pace, the subplots - one good one involves the servants in the house - and twists keep you basically engaged and the acting is first rate. It is jarring at first to see Rosalind Russell playing a harridan character, but she pulls it off even if the whole time you keep thinking that the role was written for Joan Crawford (who, coincidently, played a similar character in "Harriet Craig" over a decade later). And John Boles is a pleasant surprise. I was used to him more in supporting roles, but he did an excellent job here convincingly being oblivious to his wife's true character, showing a general bonhomie and, then, when reality hits, he handles it in a manner consistent with his character. I will now look for him in other movies.

Corvette Summer (1978) with Annie Potts, and Mark Hamill.

I remember when that came out.

 

[Gregg Axley]

I remember when that came out.

I remember not being allowed to watch it on NBC 2 years later, because Vanessa drove a van and she was a prostitute.
Like NBC would have shown something....
Apparently one of the 2 Corvettes is still around, and was sold awhile back to a private collector.

 

[Touchofevil]

That was a good one!

Yes, it was a nice little movie, but then I have always been a big fan of Bob Hope.

Yeah well, I have seen it since as well.

Yeah, well, me too. Hedy Lamarr makes it easier too.
