What's The Last Movie You Watched?

"On the Basis of Sex"

It's about Ruth Bader Ginsburg making discrimination based on gender illegal. Well-acted movie. Worth a watch.

Last night I watched the 2018 documentary, This Changes Everything. I streamed it on Crave. It is about discrimination against women in the film industry and features interviews with actors, writers, directors, and producers, including: Geena Davis, Meryl Streep, Chloë Grace Moretz, Reese Witherspoon, Taraji P. Henson, Ellen Pompeo, Patty Jenkins, Shonda Rhimes, Kimberly Peirce, and many more. I thought it was really interesting and compelling. I would rate it a 9/10 and recommend watching the film. I'm going to watch the NFL championship games today too. I'm rooting for the Packers and Chiefs to win. I might watch A Fall From Grace at some point, if it is good.

Nora Prentiss 1947

I saw Richard Jewell. It was pretty gripping and I liked the performances of the two male leads. John Hamm was only "decent" in it, granted the role was quite limited. I thought the writing for Olivia Wilde's character was unfortunate. They played into old, outdated stereotypes of ambitious women -- not cool and not interesting. Without spoiling too much, they basically have her so ambitious that's she's willing to sleep with an FBI agent (John Hamm) just to get a scoop. What did people think of that?

Wonderpark with my 5 year old daughter.

I do wonder (see what I did there) why it’s called that though, as the park in question is called Wonderland?

This morning I went to my parents house and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly happened to be on and close to the graveyard shoot out. I told them it’s one of my favorite scenes and to watch and then to tell me what they thought. After less than a minute or so they were both typing on their cell phones and said this is taking too long. 😄

Do documentaries count? I watch a fair amount of them.

Last night I watched Becoming Cary Grant, which I found very interesting and insightful. The reviews said there wasn't much new in it (aside from some footage Cary shot himself) if you know a lot about him, but I didn't know much so found all of it interesting.

Today, I watched Maggie's Plan (2015) on Prime. It's directed by Rebecca Miller and stars Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Julianne Moore and Bill Hader. It is about a single woman who wants to have a baby and falls in love with a married man. I rated Maggie's Plan a 7/10.
