Just a thread to mention the last film you watched. You may write a little comment about it if you want.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I

I was a bit disappointed and it's my least favourite from the series so far. I can't really say much because I haven't read the book tho.

Million Dollar Baby

View attachment 156981

Million Dollar Baby is a 2004 American sports drama film directed, co-produced, and scored by Clint Eastwood from a screenplay written by Paul Haggis, based on short stories by F.X. Toole, the pen name of fight manager and cutman Jerry Boyd. It stars Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman. The film follows Margaret "Maggie" Fitzgerald (Swank), an underdog amateur boxer who is helped by an underappreciated boxing trainer (Eastwood) to achieve her dream of becoming a professional.

Million Dollar Baby was theatrically released on December 15, 2004, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It received critical acclaim and grossed $216.8 million. The film garnered seven nominations at the 77th Academy Awards and won four: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (for Swank), and Best Supporting Actor (for Freeman).
I had forgotten just how good this movie is.

The Last Man on Earth
1964
Vincent Price

Based on the novel I Am Legend, it was subsequently remade as Omega Man with Charlton Heston in 1971, and I Am Legend starring Will Smith in 2007.

The BAD:
This one was a low budget B&W film and suffers from some awful dialog dubbing here and there,
Some poor editing that makes it difficult to follow

The GOOD:
Vincent Price delivers some decent acting in spite of being somewhat miscast.
Some great editing choices that bounce between "now" and "three years ago".

Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold (2017, Griffin Dunne)

I think the best introduction to the writing of Joan Didion is simply to pick up one of her books. This film is an interesting accompaniment but doesn't really give you the kick of reading her stuff in a sitting.
