Last night, we watched Arsenic and Old Lace- our favorite Halloween movie. Tonight, for Day of the Dead, we will watch The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra.
“Killers of the Flower Moon”. Interesting story, but the movie ran needlessly long. Others may disagree, but I thought it wasn’t DiCaprio’s best effort
Phantom Ship- made in 1936, featuring Bela Lugosi. It is VERY loosely based on the Mary Celeste, a “ghost ship” of the late 1800’s
Song of the South I've always wanted to see the full length film and finally found it. Not to be insensitive I didn't see anything blatantly offensive about it. I'd let my grand daughters watch it. After seeing some of the recent Disney movie that have came out; there's nothing wrong with "Song of theSouth".
I just watched that. I thought it got off to a slow start, but later picked up & told its story quite well.
We love the Paddington movies! And yes, of course, we have a Paddington among our bears. So the 3 of us- me, Cameron & Paddington -watched Paddington in Peru together. We enjoyed it throughly. The animation was superb and the story was well-written. It had its share of humor and when warm, it avoided becoming saccharine. One of the characters- a nun- was played by Olivia Colman, who had also played Queen Elizabeth II in "The Crown." There were also quite a few little references to other movies.
"The 30-Foot Bride". This starred Lou Costello, without Bud Abbott. It was made in 1959; his last, shortly before he died. Nothing epic, but kind of fun. It was meant to be sci-fi satire.
