I just watched Spirited Away. I’ve seen it many times. My sister is a big anime fan so we always used to watch Studio Ghibli movies and they are my favorite anime movies.
Leo (2023) awesome feel good animated movie. Solid 7/10.
We watched the Murder on the Orient Express series, including the nee Haunting in Venice movie. I really liked them. They’re fun and keep me guessing until the end.
I went on a run of watching the DC movies in chronological order. Mainly because I have seen the Marvel ones so many times now.
Now I’m doing same with the doom patrol series I’d never got past season 1 before now.
I watched Airplane II last night. Hadn’t seen it since I was a kid. I remember it being as funny as the first one but now not so much. Just a lot of recycled dumb jokes from the first one. Although the end scenes with William Shatner did crack me up - pretty much the only saving grace.
So far I’ve watched Godzilla, Lean on Me, Election, and A Boy and a Heron.
Godzilla I watched with commentary from a guy who wrote a book about the cultural impact of Godzilla. It’s on Critereon streaming. I learned a ton. This week I’m showing Godzilla and Godzilla vs Destroyah to my movie night group.
Lean on Me was decent, Morgan Freeman is really good and it’s a whole cast of, oh shit, it’s that guy. The opening is amazing
Election was great, I had seen it before but all the performances are really good. Glad they changed the ending.
A Boy and a Heron was a beautiful weird dream. I kept thinking the whole time about the kids from Grave of the Fireflies are in a cave starving down the street.
The Wire. Again. 😎
Finally watched “The Menu”. Great premise, great acting, and delicious tension but the ending ended up being a little bit of a letdown for me.
I took a trip back to the 80s and watched Dune (1984) on laserdisc. People love to hate on it, but I much rather watch this version of it than the new ones.
Some Wes Anderson movies I haven’t seen, like The French Dispatch and The Royal Tenenbaums.
