I saw the movie Coherence last night. It is about eight friends that are having a dinner party and then a comet sets off a series of strange events and increases tensions in the group. Thought it was interesting and do recommend it.
Watched Gifted last night. I thought was just so-so.
Also watched My Old Lady (2014) with Maggie Smith, Kevin Kline, and Kristin Scott Thomas. Interesting premise about an American inheriting a Paris apartment that had been purchased "en viager". It could have been much better.
Hunger Games the final Part 1 and 2. It was okay at best.
I enjoyed the books, but sometimes ideas from books are hard to actually incorporate into reality and I believe the movies had a hard time with this. The only thing I didn’t like about the books was the love triangle and that’s one area I felt the movies did better with. The books spent way too much time on that nonsense whereas the movies only dealt with it when it was pivotal for the storyline.
You Were Never Really Here (2017), Lynne Ramsay 9/10

book and movie
Spoiler
I checked out the book after I saw this. While walking out of the library, noticing the movie tie in cover graphic, I thought - if this is a book based on the movie I'm turning around and returning this (I hate books based on the movie and avoid them like the plague), but a quick look showed the 2013 copyright so all was good. A short story, only 97 pages - very fast read.
First off, he's an ex-FBI agent who's specialty was working undercover and going after child traffickers, and the one constant flashback was a group of children who they locked in the storage freezer with a hose flooding it with carbon monoxide - which obviously haunts him, and lead to him leaving the agency. The title sequence in the book is revealed through inner dialogue as he's once again attempting / thinking / acting out suicide - something like It's ok, you can do it, you were never really here. When he's getting his mother to the water, he stops on a high bridge and drops her in.
The movie shows the haunting, floating body (mother wrapped in plastic, Joe, and Nina). This is the third time I remember seeing this type of shot - the first time was Under the Skin with the victim floating there, and far above Scarlett Johansson walking on water, the second was The Shape of Water.
When he was young, his father first takes a piece of broom handle and wraps it in tape and is used to beat him, and eventually changes to a hammer.
The book has another politician jumping off the building, and Joe hunts Votto, and ends with him killing Votto after he gets the info on where his real target lies.
Hi picklejuice! I saw The Commuter at a movie theater a few months ago. Liked it!
Hi ya, chessgeek! Yeah, I thought it was pretty good.
