MoviePass and My Movie picks...
We have been MoviePass members for 3 months now. Decided it would be a good/fun use of time in winter. It has been - saw about 22 movies across the 3 TV theaters (and a couple at AMC12 Leesburg) for $9.95/mo. Actually we upgraded to the annual $90 year last month.
It's a SUPERB deal for those that want to see a few (or more) movies a month. Members can see a movie a day if they wish. There's more info re MP if you search ToTV for the term. But it was started by the co-founder of Netflix (mega$$$rich) and he wants to disrupt the movie business. The theaters get the full tic price so zero loss for them. There are over 1 MILLION MP members in the USA now.
OK. Here's my list of the Best movies seen that are out now and IMO very worthy to see:
- Jumanji... a fun flick for the family and adults/seniors. Top pick
- Greatest Showman... PT Barnum, with Hugh Jackman - a musical and really good.
- The Post... Spielberg/Hanks/Streep - Outstanding all around.
- Darkest Hour... Britain and Churchill and background of beginning of WWII - GREAT acting
- Star Wars... very good for buffs and non-buffs.
- All The Money in the World... JP Getty historical of handling the kidnapping of grandson - ex acting too.
- Last Flag Flying... interesting, captivating, funny, and sad.
- Lady Bird...quirky, odd storyline, but quite worthy.
- Shape of Water... same as above.
- Three Billboards... same.
- I, Tonya... same.
The MOST disappointing movie -despite star power hype and supposed interesting storyline> 'Downsizing' with Matt Damon. The 60 second Trailer had all the good parts - the last hour of the film was self-serving political and boring. And the terrible box office $$ reflect that.
