Everything Everywhere All At Once for the second time on a flight. Just as epic and fun and emotional and crazy as the first time. What a great flick.

A little shocked I never saw this before given I'm a huge Jeffrey Wright fan. This movie had incredible star power playing mostly bit parts.

When Willem Defao is talking to Jeffrey Wright about also being an artist, this thought popped into my head.

Last night's 90s Essentials rewatch chosen by the older one. Found it for rent in 4K which looked stunning.

Jackie Brown is so good

It's a great Samuel L Jackson centric movie. He really gives SLJ a chance to shine. You can also tell how much Quentin loves Robert Forester and Pam Grier. The bar that Jackie goes to is so damn cool.

And that's when I realized ole QT is down with lady feet. Not sure how many closeups of Bridgette Fondas feet there were, but it seemed like a lot.

The Thief Who Came to Dinner (1973).  I had recorded it off of TCM mostly because I saw it was filmed in Houston.  There were some cool shots of downtown, Herman Park, and the dome seemingly sitting in an empty field.

Ryan O'Neal, Jacqueline Bissett, and Warren Oats were all good with a fun Mancini score.  Overall I'd say it was ok but nothing special.  I would have liked it to lean into more interesting heists or something.

Who knew you could get emotional watching rocks?

I watched Braveheart for, I think, the first time since I originally saw it back when it came out in 94. It does not hold up nearly as well as I expected. There were a bunch of very corny, comic relief scenes that didn't work. I've always lumped it in with Gladiator, as they're both period pieces about a warrior who is driven to redeem the murder of his wife by a tyrant. But I can rewatch Gladiator 100 times. I'll never watch Braveheart again. Can't believe it won best picture. That being said, I remember thinking it s great when it first came out. 

Braveheart is unique.  It's a heroic tale in which the hero never actually has a dramatic stare down with the villain.  However accurate, I can't imagine other creators will not contrive that scene.

Braveheart was one of the first gritty/realistic war movies. Many TV shows and other movies would follow in its style of chaotic bloody battle scenes where you have no idea wtf is going on until the end.

A classic IMO.
