What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Fading Fast]

I can't wait to see that! When we went to the UK last year on holiday, I dragged my wife out to Bletchly Park, she didn't have a clue what the fuss was about.

If / when I get to the UK, Bletchley Park is very high on my "must see" list. The next DVD in our Netflix queue is "The Imitation Game."

Yeah, you should check it out!
I was kind of surprised, Bletchley is now a suburb of the Milton Keynes city, which was kind of built in the 80's. It's really quiet and unassuming- dare I say it, down market. Maybe it's different now due to the popularity of the film, but I was driving round in the rental, peering over the wheel, looking for these little brown signs saying 'Bletchley Park' that the UK uses to signpost heritage sites. I kind of got the feeling that maybe they were deliberately still trying to downplay the location of the place incase Nazi spies come nosing around.

My daughter and I are headed to England in October and Bletchley Park is on our list! She is REALLY excited - she's fifteen and this will be her first major trip. This will be my third trip to Ol' Blighty.

Wonderful movie - agree it is a bit over-engineered - but still very well done. One that does better on the second or third viewing. And the best entrance in a movie by a male actor ever: deserted rain-soaked street, brick facade and a blinking light bring Wells in and out of view - just perfect.

I never knew Roy Rogers was with the "Sons of the Pioneers" in the early years until recently.

He sang with them a lot in his movies. So did Smiley Burnette.

Interstellar. That was much better than I expected.

You didn't like The Winter Soldier? I think that's my daughter's favorite movie.

Maybe it's the age gap? I liked the first one, but that was WWII, not much interest in the modern world.

She is a HUGE Avengers fan (we're going to see the new one Saturday) so that's probably it.

I'm jealous!

Dead Man Walking.
It just happened to be on, and I'd never seen it before.
I was glad they killed him in the end, what was the point of the film?

"The Mark of Zorro" (1940) on DVD. With Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell and Basil Rathbone. Good swashbuckler.

It's what she wanted to do to celebrate her 15th birthday - take a few friends to see The Avengers. I happily agreed (I'm a huge fan of The Avengers, too!).

You're mistaken... not a good swashbuckler.... but a GREAT swashbuckler!!!! One of the greatest ever filmed.

A frightening little film about alien abduction called "Dark Skies". Fast paced, well acted and totally believable with a mild twist at the end that sends shivers up and down your spine. There's a soliloquy near the end that sends shivers up and down your spine and will make you recall EVERY missing kid case you ever heard of where no bodies, no clues... no NOTHING was ever found.
