Saw "Hamnet" earlier.  Wow, was I a blubbering mess for much of the last hour.  The first half is pretty boring, but the back half was very good and wrenching.  Wonderful last 15-20 minutes.  I don't think it's good enough to win Oscars (other than probably Jessie Buckley who is terrific), but it would be a worthy Best Picture nominee.

I thought the preview was a SNL parody.

Any of y'all do Letterboxd? I've watched 114 movies so far this year (including rewatches).

 

Latest one being LEE (2023) (on Hulu). About the wartime Vogue photographer Lee Miller (played by Kate Winslet and her tits). Good performance from Winslet, and other strong actors in the cast with not much to do: Marion Cotillard, Aleksander Skaarsgard, Josh O'Connor. Oh, and Andy Samberg.

But the movie lacked any real tension or compelling drama. An interesting historical story, but pretty meh as a narrative film.

Saw Kill Bill:The Whole Bloody Affair today at the theater.  Best I can tell, the only real addition was another anime story in O-Ren's backstory.  I don't have much to add about a Tarantino movie that's been picked over for 20 years.  It still rips and was worthy of 4+ hours of my time.

I just checked my Letterbox and I have logged 133 since I opened the account in February.  JustinSmith82 if you're interested in adding

I think I watch a fair amount of movies because I watch about 100 new releases and 50 or so older movies per year. Then I see shit like this and just feel bad.

Plains, Trains and Automobiles. Got to see it on the big screen at Regal. I had not seen the movie since I was a kid when we rented it at a video store. The scene where Candy drives the wrong way and they are sitting on the trunk watching the car burn had me crying laughing. I don’t know why, but that got me the most. Candy and Martin together was just a great pairing. Martin cussing out the woman at the rental car counter was hilarious as well. Beautiful movie. 

I can recite basically the whole movie.  Top 1 movie for me

Anyone tried to watch a movie on Tubi recently? Sweet jesus, their ads are prolific. Watched this last night 'cause it's 81 minutes, & the blonde is hot. 

Deadly Games

It is predictably not good. 

Thanks IMDB.  These photos are good enough to want to press play.  You're on the list buddy!

IMDB wouldn't let me copy images.  It's worth clicking the link and scrolling through for bigger pictures.  Here are some pics from a google.

Hot indeed.

Flight Risk

Directed by Mel. May be my favorite Marky Mark performance, and Topher stays in his lane as a comedic actor.

Watched it yesterday and enjoyed it.   Pretty amazing to keep that intensity up with 95% of it taking place only inside the plane.

Also watched Elevation with Anthony Mackie and Morena Corwin this afternoon.   Would have been much better as a series but it was kind of a popcorn movie.
