Okay, twice in a row. This is a trend. Anyway, here are the movies I watched in the past week:
The Name of the Rose (1986) - I hadn't seen this one in a really long time, but I remembered liking it, so when I found it, I slapped it on my Save list. I still liked it. Hubs totally didn't. To each his own, and perspectives, etc. It's rare that we differ on things, but when we do, the thing is entertainment. :shrug:
Jane Eyre (although strictly speaking this was a mini-series in 1983) - this is the version with Timothy Dalton as Rochester :swoon:. I saw this one back when I was living in Illinois, so it had to be 1992. There's a lot cut from this to make it short enough for TV, but all in all, a pretty faithful adaptation of the book. And did I mention Timothy Dalton :swoon:? Hubs enjoyed it, but he had a completely different and interesting perspective on the whole thing, which actually made the discussion of it enjoyable. He really didn't appreciate Rochester's treatment of Jane. I never thought about it that way before.
Jesse Stone: No Remorse (2010) - this was #6 in the series. It was pretty damn good, too, like the others. Something about Tom Selleck in this role makes me happy. I really need to pick up the books.
Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost (2011) - another good installment of Jesse.
Invitation to a Murder (2023) - searching through all the things to watch, I stumbled across this. The blurb for it sounded interesting, and it delivered. It seemed like it was going to be a knockoff of And Then There Were None, but ended up as a nice, all around nod to Agatha Christie. Not a thrilling movie, but a good one.
Have you watched anything good lately? Got any good suggestions for things I might want to watch?
We enjoyed "In the Name of the Rose" back in the day. Not a Jane Eyre fan but Dalton?*fans face* We enjoyed the Jesse Stone shows too. Anything with Sam Elliot and/or Tom Selleck! Don't think I've seen "Invitation to a Murder."
ReplyDeleteI don't do movies much these days. I tend to fall asleep. LG is streaming stuff all the time but he doesn't often say, "Hey! You need to watch this!" Sorry I don't have any suggestions.
Enjoy!
