🎥 Films
Just added 🎥 Blind Ambition to my watch list.
I recently watched 🎥 Uncorked .. which has nothing to do with Blind Ambition - but have you noticed how studios often release related / competitive movies at the same time?
🎥 Everything Everywhere All at Once, 2022 - ★★★★
One of those multiverse movies that isn’t your usual. Well worth a watch. No disappointment.
🎥 The Gray Man, 2022 - ★★★
Let’s watch The Gray Man I suggested. We did, both of us looking at the arch other throughout .. the story seemed familiar. And then it didn’t. And then it did. We watched to the end. It was familiar because we’d watched it already. Just didn’t remember. And now … the following morning. Here we are again. Still not knowing what it was about.
🎥 Mr. Harrigan's Phone, 2022 - ★★★★
Maybe because I have recently been watching some below average / average movies recently - that this one stands out. On another day. I might rate it at 3 1/2 stars - but leaving at 4 for now.
Here’s the question … coincidence … or action from the grave?
🎥 Skandal! Bringing Down Wirecard, 2022 - ★★★★
It’s a documentary - so move on if you don’t like them. Personally - big as the issue was - I totally missed the story when it was in the news. BUT very good. I would like to have seen more delving into the Libyan connections - rather than a ‘simple’ fraud - maybe there will be a part two?
🎥 Cleanskin, 2012 - ★★½
Mindless. Watched as part of a binge-watch when I was feeling sorry for myself. Not too hard to keep up. Definitely don’t bother if you are sitting down to ‘watch a movie’.
🎥 Thor: Love and Thunder, 2022 - ★★★½
I have watched all the Thor’s and this one is VERY different - probably because Taika Waititi isn’t just the director (Thor - Ragnarok) but also the writer. Not sure what the ‘Marvel Heads’ will say / are saying … but for me it worked.
🎥 Blackout, 2022 - ★★½
Just like the character in the movie … I really can’t remember much. The script is out of some script hopper and this is the latest version of it,
I have a streaming cold … so in that respect perfect, too hard to switch off, and not much to track.
🎥 Glengarry Glen Ross, 1992 - ★★★★½
30 years ago. Seriously? It feels just like yesterday. Of course … it could have been. The script is timeless.
🎥 Uncorked, 2020 - ★★★½
It was on Netflix … and just wanted ‘something’. Turns out it was just what I needed. The storyline is recognizable .. with wine and barbecue this time. For all of that - well done.
Trust me, I don’t need to spend time reviewing a bad film … so I don’t.
🎥 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 2008 - ★★★★
It took me forever to get around to watching this film and when I finally did … oh my. Tears (mine) at the end - which to me is always a good guide to the quality.
🎥 Joker, 2019 - ★★★★½
I’m a sucker for the Batman franchise interpretation anyway…but they don’t always work. This ‘side story’ is a stunning film.
My Lettrboxd import worked, so cleaning up ‘film’ category and adding a collection of ‘🎥’.
That said … Category Film is not QUITE the same if you ‘find’ 🎥
Distinction?
Not quite there on the articulation - much less on the consistency of application!
