I watched A Fall From Grace on Netflix. An interesting film with a few twists. Directed and written by Tyler Perry (he also has a role in the film). Not what I had expected in a tale of murder.

Saw Stephan King's 1922 on Netflix today. Not great but it held my interest and there were some strong scenes.

Just watched The Good Liar on Prime Video. Hellen Mirren and Ian Mckellen. Great, suspenseful ‘who’s scamming who’.

@snood,
Watched The Horse Girl, with Alison Brie. No hesitation in giving it 5 stars.

Hours later I was thinking about what must have been happening with her months, if not years before the story opened.

Watched Horse Girl. Made zero sense to me.

@snood,
While I was watching it, I thought of someone I know who would have been confused.

I get that.

I saw Parasite, the Korean movie that got the Cannes palme d'or and a number of Oscars including best movie. It's amazing. Both very 'special' ('original' doesn't get near) and universal, immediately relatable, like all true art. It's hard on the viewer at times.

I read a couple of reviews. Turns out it was actually written by Brie and it was supposed to show the main character’s descent into serious mental illness.

Now it makes more sense to me.

@snood,
Ah.

See, I thought that would have been immediately apparant.
I guess not.

Kinda spoiler alert to others...
What made me wonder and think about what gone on before were her current relationships when the movie started.
I mean, in the beginning she seemed extremely nice. I wondered why most people, except Molly Shannon, all either avoided her or expressed frustration.
This had been building a long time.
It really did show how the system continues to fail people. When the SW said the Dr gave dischage orders, that was it. Even though she immediately presented as someone who shouldn't be going anywhere. He wanted to be a good person, but hey, the dr wrote the order.

@chai2,
Well I think the intent of the movie wasn’t even marketed to be “apparent “. The trailers and written adverts all make it seem like a possibility that the “horse girl” has stumbled onto some kind of genuine supernatural phenomenon.

But congrats on perceiving the truth all along.

@snood,
lol

I guess that's my skeptics nature.

Did she discover aliens have been making clones, and can she see and hear into the future?

Or, is she mentally unstable?

Remember "The Crying Game"?

30 seconds after they met, I was thinking "Man, he's gonna be really mad when he finds out she has a penis."

Then again, from conversations about the movie when it first came out, my experience was most women immediately knew.

So maybe I knew she was "crazy" because I am?

Saw The Invisible Man last weekend. This version has Elizabeth Moss being stalked by her estranged husband, who happens to be a rich “Optics Innovator “ who figured out how to terrorize his wife without even being seen.

I liked the suspense and ‘made you jump’ moments, but won’t give away too much invade y’all go see it.

WAIT A BLOODY SECOND! During this time of the infectious crisis? Shouldn't you be practicing the science of social distancing by keeping your distance?

And I hope you are wearing latex gloves when if you are choosing to come in contact with strangers.

@snood,
I'm watching an older movie called "The Messenger", it's about the Army Casualty Notification service who notify next of kin when a soldier is killed. Woody Harrelson stars.
