A Good Thriller discussion

Name the latest movie you're watching/have watched.

Currently watching Kingsman with Colin Firth.

Woman in Gold with Helen Mirren. Excellent.

I'm hoping my members listing we might discover new films to watch. Not heard of that one, Pat.

Saw The Danish Woman today. Beautifully done.

Oh I want to see that. Looks gorgeous.

I rarely go to the theater any more. The last movie I watched on DVD was The Navy vs The Night Monsters (1966) - a Christmas gift from my sister.

We watched The Wolf of Wall Street yesterday. DiCaprio was great - he should have won the Oscar.

No Escape with Owen Wilson great film.

Lone Survivor with Mark Wahlberg great film.

Highly recommend and I like the listing. You never know what might get dicovered.

Exactly! :)

I have and I really want to see it. Waiting for it to show up at the library. Already put my hold in. I've always loved that painting.

I'm going to have to take a look. :)

Woman in Gold is about returning art stolen by the Nazi's to their rightful owners or family. Based on a true story.

Watched The Survivor with Pierce Brosnan.

I rewatched Dredd at the weekend, first time since the I saw it at the cinema. Holds up well without the 3D.

Sean did you like survivor? I didn't. And did you watch the November man?

Mad Max: Fury Road. Meh.

I saw that one decades ago, Brenda, lol.

I think she was referring to the new Mad Max, Christine.

Yep, the new one. My husband liked it, but I got bored.

Creed. The next movie in the Rocky series.

Lol!

I quite enjoyed Kingsman in the end. Mad fun done well.

Crikey..... Rocky continues?!! :-\

Yea, but this one was less about Rocky. Stallone acted well.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens!!!!!

Ditto. It counted as church, actually since I went with 137 other friends from church.

The Survivor was just okay.

A little far fetched, especially as lead female kept getting the better of the assasin (Pierce Brosnan)

But fast paced, action packed, just weak story and acting.

Frances De La Tour was awful !

There's even talk about an Academy Award - it's allegedly that good.

Spotlight. Amazing. Tragic. Glad the truth is out.
Also, Alvin and the Chipmunks. I blame my kids.

We watched The Terminator and True Lies. It was an introduction to the kids and they liked them.

The Terminator is a classic, but I find Kindergarten Cop to be better than True Lies. The latter is a remake from a french film called La Totale.

Stepping Out. Adorable Liza Minnelli movie from the 90s. Watched it two days in a row and I am not ashamed!! :)

Now You Don't.. about magicians acting with help of unknown mentor to rob banks etc. Surprise twist! Very good.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

I thought it had too much violence and not enough character development although I liked Daisy Ridley. She has a great future ahead of her if she chooses wisely on projects after the Star Wars saga is done.

Liza Minnelli's 1972 concert Liza With a Z(it's an obsession I know lol). Absolutely amazing! I always get so overcome with emotion every time I hear her sing Cabaret. Just amazing. What a performer!

Watching Spy with Melissa McCarthy right now.

:)

Watched Woman In Gold with Helen Mirren in the lead as recommended by Pat. My three girls watched it with me and really enjoyed it.

Glad you and the girls liked it.

Watched The Revenant yesterday and I highly recommend it to everyone. I, myself, am not into gore and action, this would definitely be a "man's movie" in my opinion, but I watched the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed the plot. I hear the book is even better, has anyone in here read it?

Christine wrote: "Saw The Danish Woman today. Beautifully done."

The Danish Woman, or The Danish Girl? I read the Danish Girl and can't wait to see the movie!

If you mean the new one with Eddie Redmayne, I think that is 'Girl'.

I think I have seen something about The Revenant, didn't know it was a book.

"No Escape" with Owen Wilson and Pierce Bronson.
Great action movie. I give it 5 stars.

Oh and youngest daughter made me watch Mama Mia AGAIN!! *and now ABBA is in my head!*

I highly recommend the movie, but if you are interested in the book, here is the link to a description!

Thanks, Irina, will take a look. :)

Janet, good luck getting ABBA out of your head!

Jurassic World. I loved it- really funny and a bit over-the-top but excellent regardless

Yes Katherine Jurrassic World was fun, some great scenes , but less scary than the other Jurassic Park movies.

I agree totally~ However, I hated that she ran through the whole movie including through the jungle in spike heels! Plus when they are driving beside the dinos which are leaping over downed trees, their ATVs and the truck following were going smooth as glass ,lol! Green screens are destroying films!

Recently watched and loved~The Young Victoria (2009)Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend, Paul Bettany
A dramatization of the turbulent first years of Queen Victoria's rule, and her enduring romance with Prince Albert.
