Welcome back to another week of the BEST & WORST edition of 'what movies did you see last week?' thread. For those who haven't been part of it before, basically your host (me) posts my weekly movies and you can comment on those and list your movie for the same time frame. I will get back to you on yours and you can talk to other users here about their films. It's a great place to talk about film.

FIRST TIME MOVIE VIEWING

Old Man & the Gun (2018, David Lowery)
Based on the true story of Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford) and his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public.
Its a charming enough little film that does not outstay its welcome.
6/10

REPEAT MOVIE VIEWING

None this week...

REPEAT TV VIEWING

Big Little Lies (2017, Season One)
This star studded cast follows the apparently perfect lives of three mothers of first graders which unravel to the point of murder.
I decided to rewatch this as the second season is coming out soon.

Hi, Dark.

Slow week. ::biggrin::

Yours:

Old Man & the Gun 8/10

I enjoyed it, loved the atmosphere and vibe. Robert Redford was good, Casey Affleck too. ::yes::

Mine:

Capharnaum 8.5/10

It's Nadine Labaki new movie, about a kid living in a poor Beirut neighbourhood, who's arrested for stabbing a man and asks the judge to sue his parents for having had him. Loved it, it's very sad, pretty intense, over the top too, but it kind of reminded me of neorealism movies, I liked that. ::yes::

The little kid who plays the lead character is fantastic.

Let's Talk About Women 8/10

It's an Italian film from the 60s, an anthology movie, Ettore Scola is the director. Vittorio Gassman plays nine different characters, it's a comedy about the relationship between men and women. I liked some episodes more than others, but I thought it was pretty fun. Vittorio Gassman was good.

Tootsie 9/10

Classic, so funny, I loved it more than I remembered (I don't remember if I had seen it before, or just some parts actually... ::biggrin::

). The cast is incredible, Dustin Hoffman is really great, Bill Murray too, Jessica Lange... ::yes::

Hey

Yeah unusually slow week for me!

Yours

Tootsie - big fan, great performances all around 8/10
