Comments (9)We saw "Chef" a number of months ago, and watched it again last weekend. We liked it even more the second time around. In the early 2000's there was a PBS series about living off the land. 3 families travelled by wagon train to Montana where they were to live for 5 months, living exactly like the 1800's. It was remarkably done, and I just loved it. One family was very well-to-do from Malibu, another family from Tennessee and a father and son from Boston. I searched this afternoon and found it. The series is on YouTube. We're going to watch it all over again....See MoreMovies about books , not movies based on a book
Comments (12)How about Notting Hill? OK so it is a rom-com but Hugh Grant, he of the floppy hair and boyish charm, does run a travel book shop, even if the 'plot' doesn't hang about the stacks too much. Please say some of you saw it way back in '99. Notting Hill Trailer...See MoreMore on movies and remember when?
Comments (20)Oh I hate these kinds of topics as they make me sound like an old lady! Why back in my day, yadda yadda. But I haven't been to the theater to see a movie in years and years. Part of it is, it's a pain in the butt to get out in who knows what weather at what times at what expense vs. the comfort of our couch. For DH it is a *true* pain as at his age, he always has to get up to pee in the middle of the movie which is much easier to accomplish with a pause button at home! Then there was covid and the whole cleanliness issue. But then there's also the deterioration in the theaters themselves. I remember being in the middle of a tear-jerking scene while you're listening to the boom booms of the guns or who know what going off in the room next door. I remember seeing the fast action shots in the previews for other movies that were just blurry and gave me a headache. And then there's the whole volume issue where the music so loud it's deafening, while the dialog so soft you can't hear what they're saying. We're big into CC at home as well as judicious use of the volume control on the remote. But for years and years I've complained about the quality of the movies. A lot of it is because they're geared toward their target audience which is, as best as I can figure, a 14 yr old boy. Then again, when we watch the old movies (I'm always taken aback when I say to a young person about enjoying old movies and thinking the 30s and 40s and they respond, yeah they made some good stuff in the 90s!) we are watching a "curated" list. Only the best of the old movies have survived til today. All the zillion B movies have pretty much fallen by the wayside and we're left with only those considered worth preserving. We are fans of film noir which Eddie Mueller airs on TCM and enjoy his commentary. As a specific genre, he's shown many films of the era, and let me tell you, there were some boners back then too. But the cream has floated to the top so those are generally the ones we see or know about. I think that's a natural part of the aging process and is true of books and bands too....See MoreA movie with the word "Rosebush" in the title
