    Saw 1917 recently ... was a good flick in the moment but doesn't really hold up to thinking about the absurd things that happen. That said, it looks like it's a runaway train for Best Picture at the Oscars. I still like Hollywood and Joker better but wouldn't be mad if 1917 won. Still need to see The Irishman, Marriage Story, Parasite and Ford vs. Ferrari. My dad did say The Gentlemen was a really good flick and I want to check out Bad Boys 4 Life still. So many movies, so little time.

    The Irishman was great. I think it should get the Oscar.

    Finally saw Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Really good but wouldn't be my pick for best picture and it's not my favorite Tarantino flick. DiCaprio and Pitt were fantastic though.

    Django was a great movie

    Inglorious Bastards is probably my favorite. I'm a sucker for some good ol' Nazi killing.

    Then probably Pulp Fiction, a classic.

    Inglourious Bastards was my least favorite Tarantino movie. Pitt in a uniform does not work.

    Casting Pitt in action movies is on the same level as casting Taylor Swift as the lead in the Kill Bill series. It does not work.

    Pitt should stick with what he is good at. Romantic drama movies. And leave the action movies to Angelina.

    Hey, Angelina with the lead role in Inglourious Bastards. That would have been a great movie.

    I checked a few hours ago and it's no longer free unless you join Netflix.

    The Magnificent Seven with Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Eli Wallach, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and Robert Vaughn.

    Groundhog Day

    Shout out to Harold Ramis for making, imo, one of the best movies of all time. He was one of the greats and his talent is truly missed.

    I want to see the winner of the academy award for Best Picture, The Parasite, a Korean language movie with English subtitles.
