Watched a bunch lately being useless.
Watched A Real Pain with Kieran Culkin. Pretty good but a little depressing as fata and I paid $25 for it.
Speak no evil was good but maybe I just like James Mcavoy.
Watched some weird movie Azrael. Low budget zombie stuff.
Really like Nope but I think the Peele movies you like them or hate them.
An Iron Maiden doc last night, awesome because it was Iron Maiden.
Couldn’t make it through the new deadpool movie, alt universe junk is so stupid.
Anora was really good, lead mikey Madison is great for the wank bank too.

If you had stuck with it you would have noticed that was part of the joke.

I caught "A Complete Unknown" last week, initially didn't really care to see it, maybe I'm tired of Timothy Chalamet. Turned out to be really damn good.
I loved Dune but I now have to admit he's incredibly talented. First I noticed that he had the guitar fingering down perfectly and was appreciating how long that must have taken to learn how to mimic that. Then I realized he was actually playing, and he was singing, that was all him and he is very, very good. I'm not even a Dylan fan but some of those songs really land during the movie. All of the instruments were correct to the period, incredible warbrode. A lot of liberties taken with true events, but this is a film and not a documentary. It's one of the better music biopics made. I'm going to se it again before it's theater run is over.
Oh, James Mangold also directed Walk the Line, Ford Vs. Ferrari, Copland, 3:10 to Yuma, etc.

Reminds me of Inside Llewyn Davis. Oscar Isaac plays guitar and sings beautifully - so good, in fact, that his talent only accentuates the dark humor of his struggles. He's more than good enough to make it, but is at the mercy of fate, others, and his own self-destructive decisions. Blew me away. The movie itself is incredible, but I'd watch it just for the music.

I watched Jason Reitman’s “Saturday Night” re the October, 1975 debut of SNL.
Thought it was very good.
The actor who played John Belushi was good and JK Simmons as Milton Berle was fantastic.
As was Nick Braun who played both Andy Kaufman and Jim Henson.

I thought O'Brien as Aykroyd was the standout cast member, but they were all great.

Fred Garvin, male prostitute.
Did Akroyd hit on all the female cast members?

Apparently he was quite the ladies man in his prime. He was also super young when they started. 19 or 20?
O'Brien just hit his cadence so perfectly.

Gladiator II was such a mess. I'm sure there's a coherent story with good pacing in there somewhere but it wasn't in the film I watched.

Checked out the Monday Mystery Movie tonight, which was Companion. Fantastic movie! Major recommendation. Cool concept, full of humor, gore, and clever twists. Definitely a movie worth seeing.

Made it about a halfway through before shutting it off. Rushed storytelling with no emotional investment in characters you’re clearly designed to care about and how it was shot made it look like one long, bad video game cutscene. The monkeys early were PBS kids show quality at best

Ricky Stanicki was a fun wine night movie with the wife. Just dumb humor but I like John Cena.

I sat down to watch Jason Reitman's 2013 movie Labor Day last night (Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin), expecting a thriller. LOL - nope, couldn't be more wrong.

Finally watched Poor Things. Amazing ride of a movie. Emma Stone was oustanding.

She's taking some great and interesting roles lately.
Kinds of Kindness, The Curse, Poor Things, Maniac, and The Favourite were all top notch weirdo gems.

She's always been great but working with Yorgos Lanthimos she's reached a new level.

It is ####ing terrible.
Over Christmas my son and I binged both back to back.
Watching II immediately after watching the original only highlighted what a bad movie it was.

Watched The Substance with Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley on the weekend.
Fkn loved it. Qualley is my new favourite actress. I loved her in Maid and she killed it in this. What a star.
The movie was great and I loved how it went straight B-movie-style at the end. First half felt like I was watching a Baz Luhrmann movie.

Hey quirkiness putting her feet on the dashboard during Once a time in Hollywood was so bizarrely sexy I’ve been a fan ever since.
