On Netflix, watched I Care a Lot last night. Good movie but scary. The ending was justified IMO.

I, too, can confirm this is a well written/well acted movie. Well worth the two hours spent watching it.

I want to watch it. Don't spoil it!
The whole subject of guardianship or conservatory status is important to the retirement community. We have plenty to learn, even if in a fictional setting.
If you have Hulu, I also suggest the NYT piece on Britney Spears. It isn't fiction with drama and a twist, it is documentary. The one take-away I have from that documentary is that once a conservatorship is established in California, it is nearly impossible to remove.
I'm sure the movie touches that for guardianship, and I know enough from the description that it goes into interesting areas.
Looking forward to it. Rosamund Pike has had some good movies and a stinker or two, but overall I like her work.

Great plot. unbelievable photography and introduction to a part of the world that few of us will ever see. it will allow you to appreciate what is going on in Africa, how the people live in the Saharan or sub-Saharan part of that continent. Its a gripping and satisfying story that you will never forget.

Struck out last night on Prime movies, started watching 'Honest Thief' (Liam Neeson) and the storyline was so ridiculous stopped watching it after 30 minutes, should have stopped long before that. Then started watching Capone (Tom Hardy) and that one only lasted 20 minutes before I switched it off.

Watched Nomadland last night. It was very depressing.
It got great reviews, DH left after 30 min. I watched till the end, but it didn’t get any better IMO.
Oops just saw it was for Amazon. Movie was on Hulu

Low key, a paucity of dialogue, but very effective.

Premonition - It wasn’t great, but it kept my attention. I was about to do my workout when DW turned this on. I got caught up in it enough to stick with it until the end. Told DW, sarcastically, that she was messing with my schedule (late in working out), and she about busted out laughing. “You don’t have a schedule!”.
Here’s a summary:

I watched "Honest Thief" also but I finished it. Oh my God was that a dumb plot. How does that even get through to where someone says "Yea, let's make this movie"?

About a week ago, I watched the documentary "Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My".
Was a really good documentary that went back and forth from the present (he doesn't look much anymore like the way he did earlier days) and early years.

On Hulu:
I just watched a documentary called Far from the Tree.
The story of several different families/sets of parents "journeying towards acceptance of their unique children." Based on the bestseller by Andrew Solomon.
It was very moving; it made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me want to read the book.
