The Last Stop At Yuma Country

That was boring. A pale and lame imitation of a noir Tarantino rip off .

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The Beasts, a Spanish thriller now playing on MUBI. Extremely tense and well made

Corker of an ending. Want to watch it again with the twist coloring things.
Yep. Definitely caught me by surprise. And really I didn't care if it "worked" or not. I enjoyed the journey too much.

Manhunter. A bit of a mixed bag, but overall I enjoyed it. Tom Noonan looked 57 years old.

Wow Love lies Bleeding was really excellent. Both leads are phenomenal and the A24-ness of it completely works to its advantage

when you say mixed, what didn't you like?
Well I generally really enjoyed the style (minus some of the music but that’s not really fair). Around the middle it just lost some steam for me, as I was really into the first 45 minutes or so. It’s really just some minor quibbles with some of the dialogue and screenplay. Mann is a great director though.

I felt like Petersen could have been better in scenes toward the end when he’s trying to channel Leckter. He was okay overall but the worst of the main actors

I love Manhunter, specially if you compare it to Red Dragon and you see how pale and mainstream that version is. Mann´s is on full aesthetic mission on this movie, and it works beatifully. Noonan is amazing on this one. What an amazing actor he is.

It always surprises me how little Noonan has actually been in.

I remember nothing about Red Dragon, aside from the cast
