this just in: the last a*list of the month...

I figured that as long as I was here, I might as well write this up, too.
Otherwise, who can say when I might get to it?
(smile!)
So, where to start?
Oh, yeah: the order shown is not correct.
It starts off just fine, as the first one I saw was the Japanese anime, last Saturday.
I think I'm going to have to start letting these go by unseen.
"Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc" was paced so fast that I had a problem keeping up with the plot.
I probably should have opted for the dubbed version.
The thing is, I enjoy hearing the spoken Japanese.
Perhaps I should deign to watch the dubbed one to catch up on the story.
(smile!)
Now, here's where AMC's listing gets screwy.
The second movie I watched was "Regretting You", and that was on Tina Tuesday.
Maybe AMC got confused because I only wrote about the heart-throb heart doc appointment that I'd had the day before?
I thought the movie was a bit of a heart-throb, but packed with a good story.
I also liked seeing McKenna Grace again, all grown-up from her days of being "Gifted" at Tybee Beach.
True, that was in 2017, so she truly is an adult now.
And her teen-age love interest was none other than Mason Thames, who I've really enjoyed in several films now, not just as Hiccup.
(smile!)
Then, as I mentioned in an earlier post, came "Good Fortune" in the line-up.
That had been the only one that I saw with Carolyn.
Our schedules have been a bit off, but hopefully we'll get back on course during the next week or so.
Maybe I'll even manage to see all four of my allotted A*List films! 
(smile!)

Oh!
Being a fan of musicals paid off!
I may be the only person who recognized that "Regretting You" contained a scene from the Thornton Wilder play, "Our Town"!!!
That's all thanks to Asbury Memorial Theatre having performed it years ago.
In the movie, we see Mason watching McKenna as she does a scene from the play in which her character, 'Emily Webb', bemoans the fact that life "goes so fast. We don't have time to look at one another." That's in the third scene. Very emotional.
Yes, that one scene made the movie that much better for me!
