I remember seeing that when it first came out. Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Jane Fonda are a heck of a team, and Dabney Coleman was a perfect foil. Great fun at the time, though I have no idea how it's aged.Originally Posted by Helga

OK, so moments ago I finished watching 10 Cloverfield Lane. I have to say I feel I got my money's worth. It was a good thriller, definitely worth the rental. Good performances all around. I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I saw a few days The Film Crew's mocking commentary during the 1958 movie "The Wild Women of Wongo". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpoOKWhJFNo
I am still trying to figure out if I am glad I watched it or not. If you have absolutely nothing better to do, you might try this.
Score: 1/10
My wife and I watched the film "Suffragette" and throughly enjoyed it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette_(film)
I think it is surprising how many things in it still apply, even though it is a comedy and should be seen as such, women are still getting harassed (by some people not all of course) and one point was made when one of them didn't get a promotion it was because 'people trust men better when it comes to numbers' , I think similar situations happen every now and then still today over 30 years after the movie was released...

I watched "Florence" three weeks ago. Interestig theme, grand performance by Merril Streep.

Watched Julieta today. Good argument (based on three stories by Alice Munro), good acting, beautiful scenery. But where is Almodovar?

Danik, Almodovar is a place in both Spain and Portugal: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almodovar
Thanks, Dreamwoven. I didn´t know there were places called Almodovar too.
But what I mean is that Julieta is not a typical Almodovar film.

I have watched almost all the films of this formerly very irreverent director.

Danik, you didn't know Almodovar was a place, but I didn't know it was the name of film director.
Here is another sample, this time a typical one. If my memory doesn´t fail me this is the film that brought him international fame:

this weekend was a Star Trek weekend for me and my son, a Kelvin timeline weekend. We re-watched 1 and 2 and yesterday went to see the third instalment in the ST Kelvin verse.
Being a huge ST nerd I could write an article about this new movie but I will just say, the best one of the three. Simon Pegg didn't let me down and as usual when it comes to him a good story.
My biggest issue comes down to direction, I am not a fan of fast moving and short shots in fight scenes, I prefer a steady cam and big picture cause these scenes can be amazing when it comes to actor/stunt-peoples movement and responses.
Still the best of three so I am happy and my son was thrilled, he was the youngest audience member.

C.H.U.DS. Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. Yum.
A few years back the really bad movies thread was all the rage for a spell. Somewhere along the way, a member offered up Night of the Lepus as a must see. After seeing the trailer at the time, it was immediately added to my must see list. It took a few years, but I finally made the leap and watched it last night.
5/10
It couldn't get the image of Pompey Bum out of my head.
