#TonightsMovie "Project Hail Mary" (2026) Nice to have high stakes resolved by something other than punching for a change. Ryan Goslings natural charm does a lot of heavy lifting, but it's worth your time.
Movie poster for A Woman In Berlin
Challenge #14: Based on a true story Date challenge completed: 2026-04-10 Movie title: A Woman In Berlin (Anonyma - Eine Frau In Berlin) Year released: 2008 Aspect ratio: 2.35 Run time: 131min Genre: Drama Starring: Nina Boss, Yevgeny Sidikhin, Irm Hermann, Rüdiger Vogler Directed by: Max Färberböck Produced by: Gunter Rohrbach Written by: Max Färberböck, Marta Hillers Music by: Zbigniew Preisner Awards achieved: None My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why did you choose this particular film?: I'd not seen it before. Have you seen this movie before?: No Would you recommend this film? Why or why not?: Yes. It's a very frank portrayal of a woman's life under an occupying force, and doesn't flinch away from what she had to do to protect herself. Which character were you most able to identify with or connect with? In what way?: Nina Boss as the Anonymous Woman, who finds a way to survive in Soviet-occupied Berlin that does the least harm to her while protecting others. Best line or memorable quote: Anonymous Woman: "Soldier! Why are you taking a woman against her will?" Were you surprised by the ending? What would you do differently?: Yes, I was not expecting her husband to return, but then not surprised by his actions. I assume the end follows the book so there's no change to be made. After watching this film, did you want to learn more about the true story? Why or why not? It comes from a memoir, originally published anonymously, it's been revealed to be by journalist Marta Hillers. As a regular visitor to Berlin over the last few years I am very interested in the city and its stories, and will read the book soon. Anything else you'd like to add?: -

#TonightsMovie "Schalcken the Painter" (1979) gloriously evocative and wonderfully spooky BBC ghost story. Every scene, intentionally I'd presume, looks like a painting.
#tonightsmovie has been Interstellar.
I've had the Blu-ray for ages but never felt in the right mood for it till now.

Movie poster for The Saint
Challenge #13: Based on a television series or turned into a television series Date challenge completed: 2026-04-03 Movie title: The Saint Year released: 1997 Aspect ratio: 2.39 Run time: 116min Genre: Action/Thriller Starring: Val Kilmer, Elisabeth Shue, Rade Šerbedžija Directed by: Phillip Noyce Produced by: David Brown, Robert Evans, William J MacDonald, Mace Neufeld Written by: Jonathan Hensleigh, Wesley Strick Music by: Graeme Revell Awards achieved: None My rating: ⭐⭐ Why did you choose this particular film?: Not seen it, suggested by a friend Have you seen this movie before?: No Would you recommend this film? Why or why not?: No. Not even Val Kilmer at his most charismatic could save this, and they buried him in fake moustaches and dodgy accents. Which character were you most able to identify with or connect with? In what way?: None. Best line or memorable quote: Ilya Tretiak: "Greedy Westerner, wants more money." Ivan Tretiak: Who cares? Can't spend hard currency in Hell." Were you surprised by the ending? What would you do differently?: No, it was all a bit predictable. What I'd change is not greenlight this film. If you have seen the television series, do you prefer the movie or the TV version? I've not seen the TV series. Anything else you'd like to add?: I promise not to hold this against my friend.
