Hadn't seen it in 20 years, but The Truman Show was really, really good. Caught it last night and watched the whole thing. It's become a bit of a thing to itself, but in about 2 hours you get a pretty jam-packed, character built journey and arc and Carrey killed it.

I think The Matrix and Truman Show came out the same year, or back to back years, and talk bout two different treatments of the same visceral themes of reality, perception, and existential anxieties.

Thunderbolts - better than I expected but nothing great.  Could have used a bit more setup as I’m not a MCU nerd.  Seemed like a thin story.  I thought Pugh had a lot of charisma in this role.

 

Accountant 2 - utter dogshit.  Bernthal is doing a his best effort to be Daniel Day Lewis and it’s not working in this one.  Affleck playing an autistic person comes off like parody.  I don’t remember disliking the first one, but really couldn’t describe it so maybe I wasn’t paying much attention when we watched it or something.

I didn’t finish Thunderbolts or its predecessor Black Widow. One because my plane landed and the other because I fell asleep. And I love Florence Pugh. She could read a phonebook and I’d watch.

Michael Keaton Dont Go Chasing Waterfalls GIF by hero0fwar

Keaton is unreal in that movie.  Him speaking to his team at Bad Bath and Beyond kills me.

The Professional

I haven't seen this in years - DAMN it's still so damn good. Reno is such an underrated actor and Portman is an instant star the moment she hits the screen, you knew even then she was destined for great things. And Oldman (I just watched the latest Slow Horses Episode, I needed more of him) is in peak form.

 

Meme worthy, but if you are a student of film - you should have seen this twice

For those into this sort of thing, every disc at criterion is half off today only. Some awesome 4Ks and box sets relatively cheap. 

Cure, Battle of Algiers, In the Mood for Love (4k), Memories of Murder, Rushmore.

Thanks for the heads up!

Edit - Wes Anderson Archives (10 films) for $250 if that’s your thing.
