THiNC. Movie Spotlight 29 – If you are curious where these magical movie recommendations are coming from week after week after week… there’s a free discord channel you can join in for the fun right here. Or, you can say a little thank you, sign up on Patreon, and get all the channels. Either way. But regardless, we have made it to our 29th edition of our Spotlight movie recommendations magic. Each week keeps surprising me, because we have bottomed out, completely emptied the tank of movie recommendations over and over again, and yet! Like water into wine, each week, we manage to find more marvelous movies to recommend. So, thanks to all of you that have been a part of helping to find these fun movies. You are awesome. And if you are feeling guilty for leeching? Feel free to join us on the free discord channel, and bring your ideas. Or email me directly.
The Green Knight – 2021 – This FRIDAY!! is bringing us one of my most anticipated movies of the year. The Green Knight. Dev Patel!!! (Of The Wedding fame) our knight in question – tells the story of a fantasy adventure based on Arthurian legend… regarding the story of Sir Gawain. Gawain is King Arthur’s impetuous and headstrong nephew, who sets off on a quest to confront the Knight. The Knight is a gigantic tree-like creature. All the reviews I’ve read so far says that this film is a throwback to movie making of 40 years ago. And it is a totally metal movie. Has to be seen to be believed. I will be there on Friday for sure.
A Classic Horror Story – 2021 – A camper with five people onboard, crash into a tree. When they recover from the accident, the road has been totally replaced by an impenetrable forest, and a wooden house. Watch it right now on Netflix. Thanks to Nancy for the recommendation!!
The Titan – 2018 – Lisa brings us this film from 2018 about a near future Earth, where its resources are exhausted. And humanity’s only hope lies in heading out to a distant planet. And, as a part of this migration, the military is doing experiments around man’s evolution in space. Watch it now on Netflix.
Nine Days – 2021 – I am so excited about Nine Days. Watch the trailer and you’ll see… but I found this gem after it hit the Sundance Film festival like a freight train. This could be an adult version of Inside Out… but better. Wait, WHAT? Yes… you heard me. It tells the story of a man interviewing five unborn souls in order to determine which one should be given a chance at life on Earth. It releases in theaters on July 30th – and I’m sort of hyperventilating about this one. Nine Days will be something different entirely. Can. Not. Wait. (programming note – in my fandango app, I’m seeing tickets becoming available on the 5th? Not entirely sure. Just watch this one closely.)
The I Inside – 2004 – Each week I try to bring you something that is more back in the day cafe – and this one is a call out from Chris – and pretty much anything with Ryan Phillippe I’m all in for (LOVED him in Playing by Heart). Fantastic little film about an amnesiac who discovers himself leaping through time between 2000 and 2002. And eventually, he begins to remember his past… Rent it over on Prime.
There you have it – THiNC. Movie Spotlight #29. If you’d like to read more of our THiNC. Spotlight recommendations, you can do that right here.
