See, I liked the Swedish versions with Noomi Rapace. Not so much the Hollywood versions.
Close Captioning. Mr. Mac and I use it for all tv shows with British casts. And mumbly casts, for that matter.I could have used subtitles.
AACTA Award predictions: Who should win and who will win?
https://www.flicks.com.au/features/aacta-award-predictions-who-should-win-and-who-will-win/
The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards will be on December 5th. Boy Erased is the most-known movie of those included here, with many awards predicted by this film critic to take home the award. The critic feels others are worthy of winning, each category has a "who should win" selection and a "who will win" section. Other famous names up for awards include Rooney Mara, Julia Ormond, Simon Baker and Bruce Beresford.
I have only seen Ladies in Black which I thoroughly enjoyed, was very well publicised and got good word of mouth. Haven't really seen any of the others. I have probably only heard of Breath and Boy Erased (which I do want to see). I have been a bit slack on keeping up with Aussie movies lately or they haven't had a release at my local cinema so I am not aware of them.@Aussie Willy - Do you have any recommendations/thoughts in regards to the movies up for AACTA's this year?
Well, you can stand by your opinion that Daniel Craig is an ugly horseface man, but I will simply have to disagree with you.
I have nothing against Daniel Craig, who is a striking man. I just don't think Hollywood has done well with interpreting Larsson's novels.Well, you can stand by your opinion that Daniel Craig is an ugly horseface man, but I will simply have to disagree with you.

I would normally wait to see a movie on Discount Monday. But for once I splurged and saw Boy Erased last Thursday.
What a raw, moving, harrowing journey. I have seen some terrific movies this year, and this is at the top of my list.
I think it will earn Oscar nominations for best film, director, screenplay, actor, supporting actress and actor, and best song for Troye Sivan.
"Won't You Be My Neighbor?" and "Free Solo" continue to dominate the documentary awards field heading toward the Oscars.
So one of the frontrunners for the Oscar is Alfonso Cuaron's Roma. From Wikipedia, it is set in the early 1970s, the film is a semi-biographical take on Cuarón's upbringing in Mexico City, and follows the life of a middle class family and its live-in housekeeper. The title refers to the “Colonia Roma” district in Mexico City. Apparently, Yalitza Aparicio who plays the lead role of the housekeeper is a first-time actress, does not speak English, and was a 24-year-old school teacher when she was cast and is now getting amazing notices.
The official trailer was released today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BS27ngZtxg
Also, anyone with a Netflix account can watch the movie on December 14, 2018.
It's also Mexico's official selection for Best Foreign Language Film.
I enjoyed Red Sparrow much more than I expected. It seemed to get mixed reviews here on FSU, so I thought it would be just a so-so movie. The criticisms didn't seem warranted in my opinion. Jennifer Lawrence not having a ballet dancer's body didn't matter as that was such a tiny, tiny part of the movie. And I admire actors trying to do an accent. I think there was a movie about a group of people trying to murder Hitler and nobody tried an accent, so instead of German accents, there were British and American and maybe Australian accents throughout the movie. I'd prefer a bunch of bad Russian accents for a movie which is mainly about Russian characters. But then I'm not an expert on accents, so I wouldn't know if the accents were good or not! I found the story and the direction really good. And what a cast! Charlotte Rampling, Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Ciaran Hinds, Mary-Louise Parker and Jeremy Irons! Well worth a viewing.
