What a fantastic movie. It was actually better than I remembered.
The Tom Hanks flick?
Yeah, it's on Netflix at the moment. Highly recommended if you like Joe Dante's sense of humor.
Tonight I watched Valdez is Coming with my parents. It was a good Elmore Leonard adaptation. Tree would not like it because Burt Lancaster plays the titular Valdez.

Argylle was fun, but a little on the long side. Some really beautiful shots next to some awful CGI/green screen. Bryce Dallas Howard

"Orion and The Dark" (Netflix) is my favourite animated movie in years; funny, smart, emotionally resonant, it's a fresh little piece of children's "gateway" indie horror, with a cameo from Werner Herzog and a nod to Raymond Briggs' "The Snowman"

Fantastic. Very unsettling.
Look forward to seeing it. Will soon.
Finally did, and I agree. Beautifully shot film, tense throughout, and with a unique setting.

Orpheus wrote:The Lighthouse was incredible. Pattinson was great, but Willem Dafoe as a sea captain was A+++, one of the best performances I've ever seen. And the filmmaking itself was absolutely beautiful.
Last movie of my 2019 run, and I’m finally watching it.
Stunning so far.

I watched How the West was Won this afternoon. What a spectacle. Some beautiful scenery and great action sequences tied together by a loose multigenerational plot.

Oh man did I love Amadeus. I didn’t realize it was such a comedic romp. F. Murray Abraham is fantastic. I watched the 3 hour director’s cut, but it breezes along very nicely. The editing is so well done.
I know we sometimes throw around the M-word willy-nilly, but dammit, I’m officially declaring this a certified M-piece.

Anatomy of a fall
I liked it enough. Good casting, well done if a little long. It does not feel like an Oscar winner but we’ll the Oscars are awful anyway
Also fuuuuck everyone involved in the dog scene. Fuuuck you.

Dumb Money.
It was alright, great cast, very impressive. I kinda feel the movie is obsessed with being the new Social Network, they even hint that movie in the score. But its not, its a passable and sometimes fun movie.
Interesting that the Winklevoss twins are executive producers of this one.

Oppenheimer
Really good, but the tension over the confirmation hearing wasnt nearly as interesting as the build up to the bomb.

The Royal Hotel
It’s from the director of The Assistant, which I really loved, but this one didn't quite do it for me. There is a lot to like about it. I love a good slow burn that quietly builds up the tension. But this didn't quite add up to a satisfying whole. Left me wanting.
