I've never seen The Enemy Below

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is somewhere around #10 on my all-time favorite comedies list.

Jurassic World. Fun summer movie. Can't believe it had the highest opening ever breaking the half billion dollar mark.

Looks like 3 of the top 5 highest grossing films ever will have opened since April of this year. Crazy stuff.

I put The Enemy Below in the top 5 of sub movies. As for comedy, DRS is around #168.

180 Degrees South - Another fantastic 'surfing/social commentary' doc from the Malloy brothers and Woodshed Films. Beautifully shot, great atmosphere and soundtrack and interesting storyline and characters to boot.

recently i watched Hamari adhuri kahani movie. its just awsome romantic movie that i watch. i just loved it. the acting of vidya balan and imran hashmi was too good. his favorite dialog is khushboo.

Jurassic World. Fun, exactly the kind of popcorn movie I'd expected. My friends and I found the best sub-plot to be guessing how long Bryce Dallas Howard would clomp around before losing her ridiculous heels. ** 1/2

Easy Money

A Swedish thriller that was OK to good. One of the 3 main characters is played by Joel Kinnaman, of The Killing TV series. Turns out I guess this film was a big hit in Sweden, Europe or somewhere because there have been two sequels made with the Kinnaman character taking over as lead character.

Recently I watched Hamari Adhuri Kahani movie. It's just an awesome romantic movie that i watch. I just loved it. The acting of Vidya Balan and Imran Hashmi was too also very good. his favorite dialog is khushboo. (Can't figure out what this last sentence means. Khushboo is the stage name of a few Indian, and Pakistani, actresses (it means fragrance.) It's also the name of a couple of Indian films and TV shows.)

Well, it took me a lot of work, but I feel better.

Still Alice.

Chinatown

Still brilliant.

Air Canada? Never flown it.

Lazarus Effect: pretty mediocre even for a flight . . . and I'm saying this even though I love Olivia Wilde

Chef - Really enjoyed it.

The Fly (1958)

My my, you are particularly cantankerous today. I'm fairly certain sunnylea was referring to the film, not the airline.

It was a joke. However as I always say, comedy is hard.

Nightcrawler

Really enjoyed this one, and Jake Gyllenhaal was awesome!

The Whale
The Amazing Sprider-Man 2

Solaris (2002 Clooney version)
The third time I have watched this movie and I get more out of it each time. Yes it's a science fiction movie set in space that is slow without dazzling special effects, etc, but so what? It is well filmed, acted, and exemplifies true science fiction: sharing new ideas and the provoking of thought. This movie accomplishes that, for me anyway. I am patient enough to allow it's benignness to take me in and absorb me. Putting Stanislaw Lem's book in the queue.

The Fly (1986)

David Cronenberg is a twisted individual.

I like the movie very much. Have you also seen the original? (Actually there is an TV movie made a few years earlier for Russian television that I know of no way to obtain.) As for Lem he's the Polish Philip K. Dick. I also love some of the titles of his books like, The Futurological Congress: From the Memoirs of Ijon Tichy.

Well done. Looks like that "award winner" smilie is gone.

Movie in queue and thanks to Sunnylea so is the earlier Russian film. Thank you.

I've begun watching the linked version. Proof again that good science fiction doesn't need big time special effects. The best scifi is about ideas and people--not explosions and chases.
