Red Mosquito

Finally watching The Hitcher

Now watching Drive

Joker: Folie à Deux...I honestly thought the first 30 minutes or so were alright, but it grew more and more tedious. I didn't pay much attention to the last 45. It just ultimately seems completely pointless.

I think since everyone and their grandma shat on this movie, it lowered my expectations so much that I actually enjoyed watching it.
The animated piece with the shadow was damn near perfect.
Sure, even for a musical the songs overstay their welcome, and they even use that in a meta kinda way towards the end.
All in all I'd even watch it again.

It's not a good movie but it is 100% better than the first one

Apparently I’m in a crime mood because I recently revisited Branded to Kill for the first time since high school, now I’m doing a Godfather trilogy rewatch (on Part II right now), and I’ve also been watching ‘70s Kinji Fukasaku movies.

Have you seen Yakusa Graveyard?

Not yet - I’ve got the Blu-ray on deck.

Y2K.

best thing of this was Fred Durst. Which tells you a lot i guess.

Andrea Arnold's Bird was really good. It is populated by men named Bug, Bird, Lamb, Hunter, and Skate. Also a dog named Dave. The women and girls have normal human names

Rewatching Shawshank for the first time in ages.

A bit long, but fun. Erivo was an inspired choice

It came free with the Kino Lorber 12 Angry Men 4k and I like the cast, so I figured I'd give it a watch. It's definitely not bad, but it's still just a worse version of a classic movie.

It's nice to see Jack Lemmon, James Gandoldini and William Peterson, though. Also it's interesting to see George C Scott play the same character as Lee J Cobb again (they both play the same cop in different exorcist movies)

I watched Casablanca for the first time today. Good movie!

Ingrid Bergman. What a babe.

The scene where they sing La Marseillaise is one of my favorite scenes from any movie. The emotion on the faces of those French extras is something else.
