What Movie Did You Just See?

[YimYodd]

The Martian. Very good.

My wife & I watched this the other night. Very entertaining.
Not sure about a lot of the scientific facts, like most movies, but overall  solid.

I saw this and based on your Big Little Lies opinion, I then went and watched this trailer.  Holy moly this is going to be a fascinatingly great film to watch ASAP.  Thanks for the tip!  I had never heard of this.

Watching the trailer about this woman who never looked to be famous, I somehow was reminded of another documentary (kind of a weird one) called Exit Through the Gift Shop.  It's about a graffiti artist (maybe Banksy or someone like him) and also exploring the silliness of the art world and what makes what so valuable  I definitely recommend it.

  Hope you like it!

I have seen Exit Through the Gift Shop. Another great one everyone should see!

Another good documentary was called "there's something wrong with aunt Diane"
It's a really sad story but was good.

We want to see but can never find one about this school bus crash from 1988 on Rt 71 between Louisville and Cincinnati. We always see the sign that says site of fatal bus crash every time we go to Cincinnati. It's called Impact: After the Crash.

Edit: Just found it on amazon for $20. Will probably buy it.

While not a documentary, there is a great movie about a school bus crash in a small town and the aftermath it has.  Look for The Sweet Hereafter.

^^ will look for it, thanks.

Stories We Tell by Sarah Polley (who is also in The Sweet Herafter) is a documentary with a bit of a twist.  It's slow but I think watching until the end is worth it.  It's cool.

I watched the whole thing.  Very interesting story and person.  Thanks for the heads up on this.

[ManNamedTruth]

On a Korean film kick again, all really solid movies...
The Wailing - From the director who made The Chaser, keeps you guessing throughout.
Train to Busan - Fast moving zombies on a train.
The Man from Nowhere - Solid action/thriller
The Handmaiden - Park Chan-wook really delivered with this. One of his best right up there with Oldboy.

Awesome!

[LBSUNFLWR]

We watched a very good and very sad documentary last night called Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father. Very moving and disturbing story I don't think I will ever forget.

Needed something lighthearted to follow it up. We chose Chef. Really cute movie. I like Jon Favreau. Better than you'd think it'd be if you read the description.

[Jackets N Pones]

Chef is a great movie. Favreau is awesome. I miss the back and forth between him and Vince Vaughn, hopefully they work on something together soon. New Jumanji looks like a fun ride! Also gonna see Baby Driver soon.

Getting work done on our bathroom, so we are currently in a hotel with some solid 90's DVDs you can rent for free. Watched Sleepless in Seattle and A Few Good Men. GOLD.

In 1988 there was a terrible bus crash on Route 71 between Louisville and Cincinnati. The kids on the bus were from Louisville and were on their way home from an amusement park. A drunk driver in a pick up truck was going the wrong way on the highway and crashed into the front of the bus. The bus blew up into flames and 27 people were killed. 24 of them were young teenagers. It remains the worst drunk driving accident in history.

I never heard about this until I moved here and drove to Cincinnati for the first time. There is a sign on the highway showing where the crash happened.

A few years ago we heard a documentary had been made about the crash, those who were killed and those who survived and their lives since the crash. We have been looking for it for a while and it was recently put on Amazon Prime and we watched it last night.

Incredibly sad story. The documentary was excellent though. They tried to recreate what it was like on the bus in the 1-2 minutes after the crash. They interviewed many people who survived and the families of those who died, plus they told the story of the trial of the man driving the pick up truck. The bus catching fire so quickly was what really killed everyone, more so than the impact from the drunk driver, so the trial was very complicated. what also really got to me was that I was about the same age these kids were in 1988. No one should die at 13 years old.

Anyway, you should watch this. but know that it's very sad and I cried a lot.

Storyline

IMPACT: AFTER THE CRASH, explores the horrific Carrollton, Kentucky bus crash of May 14, 1988, which killed 27 people (mostly children) and injured nearly 35 others, the worst drunk-driving related accident in U.S. history. The Kentucky tragedy became nationally known, not only because of the devastation it caused, but also because it gave prominence to the then-fledgling national anti-drunk driving organization, Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Our documentary takes viewers back to that fateful night including a dramatic recreation of the accident and explores how those who lost family and friends have over the years both suffered and recovered from their pain and losses The film offers a stirring exploration of what it means to try to recover your life, when in an instant, everything is turned upside down.

Sounds incredibly sad, but it reminded me of the movie 'The Sweet Hereafter' with Sarah Polley and Ian Holm.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120255/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_33

It's a movie that I find so impressive when taking in the story, the twists & turns, the development of the characters and story.  I'm amazed that someone can so thoughtfully come up with a story, and that someone can put that story onto film in such a beautiful and convincing way.
