Woman of the Hour. Pretty dang good. 8.5/10.

8.5 is such a high rating! "Pretty dang good" should be reserved for like... 7-7.5s

You need to introduce some hyperbolic praise for such cases.

A perfect five out of seven

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.

Giving Coal Miner's Daughter a watch this morning. Very enjoyable so far. I love Sissy Spacek.

I watched this again last night. I liked it significantly less this time. Felt much more shallow and empty. Still pretty well made, but flawed. 6.87/10.

I watched the new Almodovar movie last night. Kinda had to power through the first 40 minutes, but I ended up liking it. Like every English-language Almodovar movie, the dialogue sounds like it was translated verbatim from Spanish, so it's stilted to all hell.

Stellar cast and everyone brings it, and the Montana/Wyoming scenery is stunningly gorgeous. Haven't seen that kind of imagery in a movie in a long time.
Have they announced what they are doing with 2? Is it just going right to a streaming service now?
Costner claims it's still getting a theatrical release but no date is confirmed.

Watched this on the flight home from Scotland this weekend. The movie was good, especially the scenery, but that montage at the end was very disjointed and weird. So that was a preview montage or was it a summary of what happened after the "ending" and prior to part two? That was really weird.

Wait, there's a new Almodovar film?!

Damn, looks like it's not our here until Dec 20.

Looking forward to it!

Yeah it's good. I mean it's basically Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton talking to each other for two hours.

I thought this one was his first US film

Posted: **Mon November 04, 2024 4:02 pm**

It is his first full-length thing, but he's made some English language short films. Like that one with Pedro Pascal

Watched Crimes of the Future this evening... Hmmm...

Giving The Birdman of Alcatraz a watch this afternoon. I love frankenheimer and Lancaster, so this should be a home run.

The Raven.

Been reading some Poe lately so I thought I would check it out. I thought it was...fine. Not as bad as people made it out to be. Pale Blue Eye is a bit better.

Crimson Peak

Jesus this was horrible. Ugly, cheap, not scary, badly written, terrible pacing, boring as all heck...Del Toro kinda sucks sometimes.

Doctor Sleep

Kinda good. Not a fan of Stephen King and this felt like another Stephen King movie, but it was alright for a dumb little Stephen King movie.

I don't recall hearing about this, so I just looked it up. The first part of the description I saw was enough along with your review not to watch it:

Crimson Peak is a 2015 gothic romance film
