Seen any good movies?

Highly recommend Women In Gold. True story, stars Helen Mirren & Ryan Reynolds. Watched it on Netflix.
 
Boy! If you ever wanted a feel-good movie where you laugh and grin through the whole thing, "Champions" is it!

Woody Harrelson is the coach of a basketball team of players with development disabilities. They, and he, are wonderful!

Woody said that filming this was the highlight of his career and that they all felt like family right off the bat. He liked the "improv with structure". Evidently "Champions 2" is afoot.

Loved it!

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

I read the book a couple of years ago, but the movie ..... powerful, infuriating, heart-breaking. :cry:

I haven't read the book, nor have I watched the movie. However, I've never seen a movie overtake the book, if I've read the book first. Books I later watched as movies include The Day of the Jackal, The Count of Monte Cristo, Great Expectations, and 1984 but none of them came even slightly close to what was in my imagination. I mean they were a much watered down/diluted version of the story. :)
Anyway I don't like to watch holocaust movies. My taste buds are a bit different from others' I guess 😅

In general, I agree with you, Indike, regarding books vs. movies. But in this case, the movie evoked more powerful emotions in me. Same with "A Gentleman in Moscow".

I absolutely loved this program!
Fascinating, funny and very informative.
I would have loved to try all three dishes she prepared.

And then I found this one.
I got through the breakfast program, but fell asleep halfway through the lunch, because it was pretty late.

I really wanted to watch "Apple Cider Vinegar" but luckily I read a bit about it before wasting 5.5gb of data. It's kind of hopping between present and past type storytelling which I hate. So I'm not going to watch it.
