The Trust.

A great, tense, funny film about two cops doing a heist. First half is all jokes and second half is tense as fuck. The cast is great, Elijah Wood, Sky Ferreira, Jerry fucking Lewis and Steven Williams! damn. Nic Cage is wonderful in this one.

Also looks beautiful.

Wow thx Ms Harmless for mentioning this movie. I never heard of it. My wife and I watched it last night. Amazing. I don't want to spoil anything but I got head to toe goosebumps during one scene towards the end it freaked me right out. It was like I got electrocuted.

The Wolf of Snow Hollow

With VG on this one--really enjoyed it, beautifully shot. Looking forward to watching Thunder Road this weekend.

Fun but not memorable. Second best pro-abortion movie of 2020.

The Two Jakes. This kinda sucked, didn't it?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

Thunder Road was very good though I'm wondering if Jim Cummings has it in him to switch gears.

i guess he could do it yeah, but of course pretty much the character for both of this movies is the same, so who knows...Still Wolf feels superior to me.

Black Bear.

Plaza was incredible and the script is fun but it doesn't really come together in the end and the last scene really sours what came before

Fun watch, McDormand and Walsh were great, and I can see why this movie would have made a splash in the 80s but in certain ways it feels like a dress rehearsal for their later work.

I agree with all of this. She was so good, this movie is a must just because of her.

Yeah she was really stunning, she elevated the whole production. I'd like to see her in more dramatic roles. Abbott was good too.

I wish it had been the first of their films that I'd seen. Coming to it after the fact really drove home how much like a dress rehearsal it feels. Which isn't really fair.

At the same time, some of it just isn't as sharp as their later films. Walsh is perfect but McDormand's comic sensibilities are under-utilized--there's that great scene with her and Getz talking in the bed where it kind of comes out, but that's about it--and it makes the film feel a lot flatter than say, Fargo. Some of the shots are kind of dull and agonizingly long (thinking of the multiple discovering Marty's office moments). And the fan gimmick is heavy-handed. So you know, it's a good, fun noir film with a lot of style, but it doesn't have the zing of their more mature work.
