The twist was so out there that it really threw me off. And I wish they had explained more why he did it...
Took in Vengeance over the weekend ... it stars and was written by BJ Novak from The Office and Inglorious Basterds ... was pretty funny and had some interesting thoughts on society and why we feel so disconnected from each other. A dark comedy that was worth the 1:40 run time.
I recently watched The Woman King and although it was a good film it's definitely not an Oscar film in my view. Watching where crawdads sing now and it has beautiful cinematography but is slow...and very hard to watch...I've been only able to watch it in bits...so far 2 sessions and I'm not through half of it. Movies like this really disturb me. Will weigh in when I finish it. Not an easy watch for me.
Finished "where the crawdads sing" tonight and it was a great second half to the movie...long assed movie but definetly glad I stuck with it to the end...very disturbing story about rural cruelty and violent southern men in the 60s.
Just watched "2 Guns" with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. It's from 2013 and had no prior knowledge of it going in. Hard to explain after getting through it. A rookie writer trying to go for a "Pulp Fiction" story arc type of thing. Funny at least.
We watched Babylon this weekend and OMFG, what a weird and wonderful movie. Very dark, very intense. Margot Robbie should have been nominated for Best Actress. If you like old Hollywood, boobs, and elephants, this is a movie for you! 8.5/10 Mrs SPD says 8/10 because of the rat-eating guy. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10640346/?ref_=tttr_tr_tt
Cocaine Bear ... yes it's dumb ... yes the story isn't really all that great ... but there are a few good action pieces and seeing it in a theatre on opening weekend with a bunch of people ready to have some fun was worth it. Overall I'd give it a 6.5, worth a view in the theater but will probably never watch it again.
I rewatched the Irishman over the last two nights and DeNiro was incredible...an incredible cast and the perfect mob story. Brilliant piece of work. Hadn't seen it since it first came out and it's still incredible.
