Continuing a previous thread which locked due to inactivity …

This evening I watched My Name Is Julia Ross, a 1945 film noir.

The new streaming service, The Criterion Channel, launched today, and I am doing the free trial thing. One of their spotlight features this week is classic film noirs from Columbia Pictures.

I found My Name Is Julia Ross to be suspenseful and well acted. A solid ‘A’ grade.

Hacksaw Ridge. It shows the “fog of war” as well as about any war movie I have ever seen, and shows true the comment “The Holy Spirit blows where it will” as that 7th Day Adventist had God’s protection all the while.
 
Captain Marvel; strong, independent, resilient, courageous. And they didn’t show her lady bits even once.
 
I’ve seen both Moneyball and The Hateful Eight recently after having them in my backlog for what feels like forever. Both were great. The Hateful Eight is now my second favorite Tarantino film after Pulp Fiction, though I still have a few more of his films to see.
 
The last movie I saw that I really liked is
Hotel Mumbai.

I have never heard of I Am Julia Ross.
Who stars in the film?

Yes! I loved it! Good one, Mel Gibson.
The Song of Bernadette. 1944, on DVD of course, at home 🙂

I wasn’t expecting much from it as a movie, but it really is very well made and I thoroughly enjoyed it, both devotionally and cinematically,.
Another I saw recently which really took me by surprise and impressed me was “Funeral in Berlin”, Michael Caine, 1967. The evocation of the 1960s, both happy and dark, from the people who were there was fascinating, as well as the movie having the significance of originating the anti-hero version of James Bond as a genre.

“Hacksaw Ridge”. I really appreciated the whole “Faith during war” theme, it’s something you don’t see often in war movies.
A really good movie.
 
The Lion King - - - 26 years ago; last time I was in a movie theater.
I refuse to give them my money or time any longer.
Wish more faithful Catholics felt the same…
 
If I consider only first-time viewings (it’s not much of a challenge to re-watch a film I already “really like” 😉)…Wall-E (2008; seen on TV in 2010).

I’m not much of a movie fan, so I suspect that it may be a while before I can say this about another film. 😐

I got the name of the film slightly wrong – it’s called My Name Is Julia Ross.

The cast includes Nina Foch, Dame May Whitty, George Macready, and Roland Varno. Basically, no one I’d heard of. (Except, apparently, for Macready, who was in Gilda with Rita Hayworth.)

Mule was really good with Clint Eastwood. I really liked that triple frontier movie on Netflix too, pretty intense.
 
I loved Into the Spiderverse. So much that I want to read the comics starring the alternate universe Spider-men, especially little adorable Peni and her robot Sp//dr.
 
Argo - the movie was about making up a fake movie company to help some American diplomats escape from Iran
 
I have heard of Nina Foch and Dame May
Whitty. Gilda is one of my favorite movies.
I think I know who George Macready is.

It has Ben Affleck and Charlie Hunnam in it. A group of ex-spec ops decide to take down a cartel drug lord without the US govt knowing so they can steal all his money, and things do not go according to plan. Being a Netflix movie I was expecting a good movie but bad ending, but it was good all the way through.
 
Okay. When you said triple frontier movie I thought it was 3 westerns.
