Film Last movie you watched? Edition II

The Other Sister

I love this movie because it proves so much to society. It shows that people with disabilities can function just like others, even fall in love as well. I greatly recommend it to anyone who has a set mind of what we are like.
 
The Avengers Age of Ultron my brother got me to watch all the Avengers movies so I can go see Captain America Civil War with him I must admit I was missing out on having never watched them
 
The Jungle Book (2016) - Saw it in theaters and it was a really good movie. Apparently due to early success they are already planning a sequel to it.
 
I saw The Big Short which is about the financial breakdown of 2007-8 and the terrible people that let it happen. Ugh, what a well-made, well-acted movie that makes you furious and also confused. Steve Carrell is a much better actor than I ever gave him credit for.

I also rewatched Ghost in the Shell so I could cry silently about this Scarlett Johansson remake.
 
Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. Extremely questionable special effects, even for 1963, aside this was a really entertaining watch. I thought it was gonna be some really crappy generic romance... thing....... early on but I couldn't have been more wrong. It did a great job of being genuinely unsettling - it's rare that a movie can take such a natural thing as, well, flocks of birds and turn it into something pretty terrifying in some ways. Guess it's called a "murder" of crows for a reason, eh.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Got it on DVD. I love it. It's not my favorite Star Wars film but I do think it was very well done. Love the characters, effects, story, etc. Even though many may argue that the plot is the same or very similar to that of A New Hope.

Just recently watched it on DVD myself and have the same feelings. While I can see some similarities, I think the interactions with the new characters still makes The Force Awakens's story enjoyable.

One other movie I watched was Age of Ultron. While I heard underwhelming things about it, I enjoyed it a lot overall.

Spoiler:
 
The Jungle Book (2016). I really love how they call fire the "destructive red flower" and how Christopher Walken played King Louie. :)
 
Got to see Captain America: Civil War last night. Loooved the banter with Cap's 'crew.' Was a bit shocked at how dark it got, and had a few gripes with some of the early shaky-cam action scenes and rubbery cgi. But daaaaamn, does the marquee fight deliver in spades!

However, that said, boiled down to its core, the final act is so petty! Ack! Very emotional yes, and moving, too, but it's no adaptation of the story it pretends to follow from the comics. What leads up to the 'climatic fight' amounts to x person telling y person that z person did a very bad thing. That's essentially it!
 
The Jungle Book. It was absoultely fantastic. I didn't want to see it, because I never saw or was interested in the original but my friend took me. I am glad I went. Truly a great film!
 
Went to see The Boy with a friend a couple of weeks ago.

It was a good horror film by the current standards, but the last 20 minutes or so has a huge plot twist which wasn't really how I would've expected (or wanted) the film to end personally. It did give me a few jump scares from the beginning though!
