Hello EC people*! (yes, the *1 or 2 members that are still here around)
I've seen a bunch of nice movies lately, so I've been thinking that:
1) Since my movie taste is insanely good and 2) I'm super generous and I don't mind to share my film knowledge (once again, no need to thank me)
here is this blog post about some movie recommendations:
1. A FUNNY ONE:
WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS
Ok, let's start with a funny one. I'm not into movies about vampires, but this one is very different.
Vampires doing vampire routine, dealing with complexities of modern life.
2. A SAD ONE:
A GHOST STORY
How would be to die and stay as a ghost, watching passively all the life you left behind? Not really funny :P
The rhythm is a bit slow but it's necessary, since this movie wants you to feel really sad and depressed. But seriously... it's a beautiful movie, so i recommend it.
3. A 'HARD TO WATCH' ONE:
COME AND SEE.
Hard to review... I just can say that it's a total MASTERPIECE (yes, with cap letters)
Considered one of the greatest anti-war movies ever made. Disturbing and brutally honest (it doesn't fall to romanticism and sensationalism as WW2 Hollywood's films do) It's hard to watch, but I'd say it is very necessary, taking in mind the current world's events.
4. A WEIRD ONE:
THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER
If you're into not conventional stuff, you'd love this movie (well, and all what this film director does -i personally love all his movies)
Twisted and disturbing. One of the most uncomfortable films you'll ever see... Don't you feel already like watching it right now?! :P
Okay, enough for this blog.
Probably none of the 2 or 3 members who are gonna read this blog will watch any of these movies, but oh well... I'm fine just writing about it.
Btw, if you have any movie recommendation, feel free to write it in the comments.
Au revoir!

rarely I come here ... and watched "come and see". I did not like it artistically so much ... but realistically it'is really so good work...but Mary.. after long time .. I have just watched a movie finally ...
By the way .. The most impressive and touching part was the Stork and his lost chicks...And I think the main theme of the movie was the set up of relations between the crying stork and the person who lost her family...
But this movie remind me a poem .. from Yevthushenko.. Russian Poet...I will write only a part of that poem..
"Goodbye our red flag.
You slipped down from the Kremlin roof
Not so proudly
Not so adroitly
As you climbed many years ago
On the destroyed Reichstag
Smoking like Hitler’s last fag."
......
"Goodbye our red flag.
You were our brother and our enemy.
You were a soldier’s comrade in trenches,
You were the hope of all captive Europe,
.......
"But I caress the red flag
And cry."
Hello, dear Mary! 🤗
Are you still here? 😉 Our old gang 😎
For sure the new version of MyEnglish.club made this cite empty. 😏 But anyway life is going on 🤗😉
Thank you for this nice recommendation of movies. I would prefer to watch a funny movie. Unfortunately the life is not sweet as before 😔 and we have to raise our mood a bit.
Thanks again. 🤗 I was happy to see you here. 😘😘😘
Hiya,
They made a series outta the first one too. "It's a no for me."
The movie ain't half bad.
Thx an' I miss your kickbuttosity and awesomeness. =]
I tend to read rather than watch TV or movies but maybe I'll check out some of these.
An Older one - Tom Hanks in The Terminal is good and based on a true story (historical fiction I suppose)
Oh btw, if you really end up watching any of these movies, plz, don't hesitate to come here to tell me about it... It's gonna be interesting :D
Hey Mr Tim! Nice to see you here.
Oh yeah, I know about that... "reading rather than (whatever)" I'm a bookworm too, but i also love cinema 'cause both (books and movies) are about telling stories. That's the main thing... no matter which is the language (words or images) So... that's my theory of why i think that people who like reading also have to like movies! :P
The Terminal, yup, I've seen that one. Not bad for watching on a lazy sunday.
Thanks for dropping by!
