I tried to get back into that series Below, but I thought it got quite dull. We watched Masters of the Universe which was good fun!

I just watched "The Whisper Man" on Netflix which stars Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton. This is a very dark, creepy, psychological thriller which is based on a book. It's about a serial killer who kidnaps young boys.
Another blast into the past. Watched "Kiss Me, Stupid" from 1964, directed by Billy Wilder. In many ways a very funny film, though it inevitably contained some of the prejudices and mores of its time (which isn't surprising, but not everyone enjoys watching such things). Dean Martin played himself, and it's surprising that he wanted to be portrayed as a boozing sex-starved womanizer to such an extent (perhaps it bolstered his persona). In the film, he has no qualms about hitting on married women, pinching them, groping them, touching them, etc. It's something that once seemed ubiquitous and normalized. The movie also seems to suggest adultery as a way to get what one wants and as a way to strengthen a marriage. One could read it as a critique of the typical American success ethos (i.e., "getting ahead at all costs"). Or one could read it in more sinister ways (interpretation remains, perhaps inevitably, a fluid enterprise). Many condemned the film as horrendously vulgar in its time and cited it as an example of media's contribution to the degradation of morals. It was genuinely funny in places, disturbing and uncomfortable in others, and intriguing and thought-provoking in others. An interesting movie, especially from an anthropological or historical perspective.
my honey put the 1984 The Philadelphia Experiment on - I had never watched it before and yet know a lot about it as we tend to be aware of those kinds of things - it was very interesting and loved all the old cars from the 40s and also from the 70s and 80s

Adorkable rockstar!
OMG. I LOVED the movie claytace. They made you feel so much for the main character. I think it's one of my favorite movies this year.
We went to see Primetime in London yesterday. I wish we had read a review first as neither of us had any idea what the storyline was!
Just now finished watching Remarkably Bright Creatures - such a beautiful film ( although I did find it difficult seeing the sea creatures in tanks )
But, the ending! Cognitive dissonance at its Worst! Finishing a film like that with a barbecue? Sure - show empathy and compassion for one creature, but then cook up and eat another one! Ugh!! It Really disappointed me having it end like that, it was So unnecessary!!!

It's that most wonderful time of the year again so it's hallmark Christmas movies for me. Right now I'm watching A Very Arctic Christmas. It's actually on the Great American Family channel but same premise as Hallmark, just not quite as good. But every once in a while they come up with a good one.
I saw a bit of one the other day in the hotel! I haven't watched them for the past few years.
It had the actor from Saved By the Bell. The Christmas Spark.
I have not seen that one...but then I'm not a Mario Lopez fan. I tend to not watch movies unless I like the main characters. For some reason I find it difficult to watch anything where there isn't at least one familiar face. Makes it hard to watch some of the newer movies that have new actors and actresses.
She's making a list with Lacey chabert and Andrew Walker. Love her, him not so much. I didn't really like this one.
I did really enjoy A Very Artic Christmas. I love Cameron Mathison. It's not fair how some men age so well lol. But it makes for good movie watching.

We went to see the new Godzilla film at the IMAX cinema in London today. I thought it was 10 out of 10. I liked it even more than the first one and I really liked that too. The IMAX cinema has the biggest screen in the UK and it was the perfect film to see there.
I'm the opposite. Love Andrew Walker, don't like Cameron Mathison, lol! I've yet to watch any new-to-me Hallmark movies. I like rewatching my favorites, lol. That said, my sister has DVR'd a few new ones, so I may take a gander.She's making a list with Lacey chabert and Andrew Walker. Love her, him not so much. I didn't really like this one.

We watched "Shaun the Sheep and the Creature of Mossy Bottom." We're huge Aardman fans. I can't get enough Shaun the Sheep. It satisfies both my adult and adolescent sides. Double whammy.
my honey likes Sci-Fi and so I brought up Mickey 17 on Netflix - I found the first part interesting and then it was just tedious IMO - he enjoyed it
