Quote of the day:
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.
-Roald Dahl
I had hoped to watch some old movies this week. By old I mean movies released before 2015 that I never got the chance to see. So far I have gone through a few whose trailers I will share below. I will also share my favourite quotes in each movie. Enjoy!
1. The Intouchables (French movie, released in 2012)
After he becomes a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, an aristocrat hires a young man from the projects to be his caretaker.
Favourite quote: Hope well and live well.
2. Hummingbird (2013)
A damaged ex-special forces soldier who is homeless and on the run from a military court martial, navigates London's criminal underworld after seizing an opportunity to assume another man's identity.
Favourite quote: You've got a knife? I've got a spoon.
3. Jobs (2013)
The story of Steve Jobs' ascension from college drop-out into one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20th century.
Favourite quote: How can somebody know what they want... if they've never even seen it?What movies have you watched this week?
Peace.Love.Light*

haha to the spoon quote. Watched Get Low, The Way Way Back and TMNT this week so far.
ReplyDelete@Patt Hatt: I thought it was great! Hey thanks for heads up on the movies. Cheers.
ReplyDelete'How can somebody know what they want... if they've never even seen it?' ..... I like this quote also ... there must be a 'pull' to determined to have something that others do not see or cannot fathom ... simply because you have 'seen' it ahead!
ReplyDeleteI watched Texas rangers, Evelyn an old film 'murder she wrote' . I have not watched any of the three trailers you posted ... untouchable looks very interesting .. will watch it this weekend.
I like that favourite quote. And thank you for spelling "favourite" in correct English! :)
ReplyDeleteI watched an all-time classic this week. A classic and yet, a very brief movie, "Bambi Meets Godzilla."
Thanks for your brief comments on blog.

I love the movie quotes especially the one from Jobs. The last movie I saw was"Focus" with Will Smith. The French movie looks like a good one.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen these yet. I wanted to watch movies a few days ago, but I've been revising to get a manuscript to beta readers. Once I'm done, I'm watching a bunch of movies.
ReplyDelete**Takes off confused Bracelet.. Hmmmnn.. Sweet.. "You've got a knife.. I've got a spoon.." That one was ghen ghen like that and so Apt.. Truly yeah Oga Boss.. we all have something that someone else doesn't have, but needs.. In my 23 years 5 months and 16 days of confused existence yeah, I am learning that that's the true Idea of Wealth.. Giving others what they need... :)... Wait **Cleans Eyes with Omo, Jik and Spirit.. There is a movie on Steve Jobs?! **Faints.. Chei! Chim'o! I am so stale **Takes off wrist watch.. I am like a Big fan of Jobs (R.I.P) Forget all the wonders and magic that Tim Cooks is doing.. Jobs is (Not was oh.. He lives one) the real Super hero... Amma go search for it and download with the office WiFi.. Hope i dont get caught shaaa.. **Covers face.. Wish me luck..
ReplyDeleteCheers Oga Boss.. Happy Democracy Day in Advance chief of Staff... Good news.. We had power in our House today.. First Time all week.. Alas there is hope.. hehehe More like there is Light at the end of the Tunnel or Trouble (as is applicable in Nigeria's case) :) Cheers..
I think I will like to see (download) hummingbird. Jason stattham movies always worth the while. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteNot a big movie fan but I like the sound of Hummingbird. Also, Jobs was gooood.
ReplyDeleteThe quotes you feature are always on point.. Hummingbird that sounds like what I will love to see.

I am not a big movie fan .. just saw the INTOUCHABLES
ReplyDeletefrom the films above. Most of my time watching movies on tv I fall asleep--lol!
I haven't seen any of these. But I have seen one movie (I actually found time for a movie!) last week- Elizabeth: The Golden Age. I wanted to see it for a very long time :) xx Maja
ReplyDelete- http://majasmuffin.blogspot.com
Never seen any of these movies but would like to see them all especially the number two because of jason statham.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea to include trailers, I am going to watch these now. The last movie I watched recently is 'sleepless in Seattle' and loved it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI saw 'The intouchables' and liked it. I liked the part he was frothing at the mouth and his caregiver had to drive fast to the hospital-to fool the cops (even I was shocked at that stunt he pulled). The love that almost never happened. Quite funny and emotional. It was a good friendship.
ReplyDeleteAfter a long time without movies,this week I finally saw one- 'Pitch Perfect 2'and I laughed hard...
What did you think of Jobs? I liked it! I know a lot of people didn't because of Ashton Kutcher but I thought he did a great job. There's another Steve Jobs coming out later this year and they're saying it's going to be a winner. Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen...sounds like more of an A-list film. Looks like it will go a little more in-depth with his relationship with his daughter Lisa, as well.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of the movies you mentioned here. I hope when you get to watch them they are good! I didn't watch any movies this week- things have been super busy. I am hoping for some down time soon. :)

Old movies for my husband it means movies from 50s or 60s. for me, they are before 2000. ;) We are kinda old. I always wanted to watch the The Intouchables but never got a chance to do so. I may make some time this summer to finish it. :)
ReplyDeleteHope well and live well!

What a great quote! I saw part of a movie that I didn't much care for, but I can't remember the title...

no time or rather patience for movies these days. just little house on the prairie in French and endless re-runs of Grey's anatomy :)
ReplyDeleteIf these movies are available on Netflix, I will check them out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on them.

Love that quote. I haven't seen any of those movies. I did see Mad Max which is crazy fun and Adaline which was very emotional which I did not think it would have such impact on me. Both very good.
