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.

Maleficent

Always enjoyed this movie. Great twist on fairytales. Third time watching it in ten years.

Loved it. So hard. The ending is devastating. Reminds me of a very good friend of mine who got mixed with this psychopath and she just couldnt get off from that relationship.

The lead actress is wonderful.

Just watched and loved this as well.

It was extremely effective at portraying how these kinds of relationships work, and subtly building towards where it was all leading to, where in hindsight you could see coming a mile away, but was still shocking. Pretty devastating stuff. Hard to watch at times. It's like Red Rocket, but deathly serious.

Yeah it’s Red Rocket but from her view and super serious. The main guy damn what a presence. He is so creepy.

Great movie really.

Matilda the Musical.

A little too on-the-nose with the progressive messaging in the final song, but enjoyable none the less

A Most Violent Year

Looked forward to seeing this again. Saw it with my cousin some years ago, when he was here to drink and a have fun weekend. Wasn’t really the right movie for that moment in time.

However, the movie was still a bit boring. Feeøs like a missed opportunity.

The Hundred-Foot Journey

Enjoyable feel-good film. It’s simple, but tells the story with both subtle humor, good acting, and a sensitivity to both cultures.

The Kadam family leaves India for France where they open a restaurant directly across the road from Madame Mallory's Michelin-starred eatery.

My records indicate I watched The Rover about two years ago and everything about it would seem to indicate that this movie was made for me, but I remember absolutely zero about it

Understandable. It was just unremarkable.

what year was that released?

Guy Pearce has had an amazingly successful career as a hero guy, considering he has a weird looking face.

He has a fair amount of villainous roles mixed in there, too

Currently skimming through streaming services hoping to find something that jumps out at me.

I watched the first hour of Leaving Las Vegas, but then I remembered I wanted to watch the World Baseball Classic, so I shall finish LVL later.

The Rover. I liked it, obviously, but couldn't get used to them driving on the wrong side of the road.
