Saw Dunkirk in a theater and it was definitely intense. Made me feel crazy anxious. My husband said it was the music and sound effects. I guess so.
Watched this documentary about handbags on a plane. The filmmakers are trying to get to the roots of our fascination with the object.

From ancient Egypt to the modern runways…
Three Billboards sounds interesting. Would a victim of random violence be able to watch it, or is it too intense?
The music in Dunkirk was very eerie and stressful. Here’s how they accomplished it:
My H called the music in Dunkirk “oppressive”, we both found it too distracting/over the top at times.
@MaterS – I would stay away from Three Billboards just because there are some scenes that I found hard to watch. Same with Wind River. Or go but just close your eyes (they’re pretty easy to spot as they ramp up).
@VaBluebird – I find certain movies that I see in a movie theatre are very anxiety producing. Less so if I watch them at home.
We went to the movies today and saw “The Greatest Showman”. It was quite entertaining.
I saw Jumanji last night and i thoroughly enjoyed it. This is the second Rock/Kevin Hart movie I’ve watched , they are great together.
Paddington 2.
Stay for the rolling credits.
DH working all day today so I treated myself to a movie doubleheader. First up was Call Me By Your Name, which I thought was boring and pretentious. I also disliked the Armie Hammer character. Next, I saw The Shape of Water. Loved the story and the look of the movie.
DH and I saw Wonder last night. It was really good.
I Tonya was very good. It was creatively done- part dramedy, part documentary. Allison Janney was terrific.
Disappointed to hear the poster above did not like Call me by your name. That’s on my list
In order of most entertaining:
Wonder
3 Billboards
Get Out
Molly’s Game
Darkest Hour
I, Tonya
Lady Bird
All the Money in the World
Downsizing
Shape of Water
Haven’t seen Florida Project.
Saw The Post this afternoon. Very good. My daughter said, “How long was that movie? It felt like it was only half an hour.”. My only criticism was that all those old white guys looked alike so it was a little bit hard to keep them straight. Except for Tom Hanks of course. The movie passes the Bechdel test.
I just got back seeing The Post tonight …definitely worth seeing.
I saw The Greatest Showman a few weeks back. I have this weird reaction to musicals where I always find them cringe-y the first time I hear the songs, then go listen to the songs later and enjoy them much more. Looking back, I really enjoyed the movie overall, and appreciated its acting especially. I didn’t like how they tried to project 21st-century ideals onto a 19th-century setting.
I also really liked Murder on the Orient Express, although Poirot’s mustache was distracting and got too much screen time. It was the type of movie that I’d like to re-watch eventually to catch details I had missed before.
I also saw The Post last night and recommend it. In addition to the two big stars, it has Matthew Rhys from “The Americans” and Josh from The West Wing.
^^ And Bob Odenkirk from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul!
Re: Call Me By Your Name.
@wisteria100 I liked it. My 19 yo D liked it. Her male gay friend from college liked it.
It’s about young love, heart break, confused feelings and it’s sad. It’s also slow-moving, and not what I’d call story-driven. It definitely has a languid foreign film feeling to it.
I was nodding when I read @JZMOM2 post 993 because even though we liked it, I had the thought this is not a movie for everyone. I didn’t like the Armie Hammer character either, which to my thinking, was a plus for the movie’s storyline.
I just saw The Phantom Thread… Daniel Day Lewis’ supposed final movie performance. I really, really liked it. I’m dying to talk to someone about it, so PM me if you have and want to exchange ideas!
