Arrival - Denis Villeneuve has quickly become a favorite director of mine.
No one is better right now. And after hitting a home run with Blade Runner 2049 despite huge odds, he’s now going after even higher odds with a remake of Dune, a task that even the great David Lynch wasn’t up to.
At the end of the day I think I liked it (FWIW, I watched it high - probably makes a difference, lol). It is a fucking weird movie though, and it slowly escalates towards being fairly horrific and stressful. I found the statement it makes about the process and impact of creativity quite interesting - it's a metaphorical film.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
Molly’s Game: I really liked it, a great Song choice in the film
jessica CHASTAIN Is great in pretty much everything
Saw “‘All the money in the world” today.... another good film. I wasn’t aware of this Story, pacing was good and some good acting
crazy how they reshot all of Kevin spaceys scenes in a matter of weeks... lots of scenes , Now with Christopher Plummer. I doubt anything like that had ever been done before.
some independent horror film on netflix. was ok, kinda stupid though.

Manchester by the Sea. Holy shit was that movie depressing.
I haven’t seen it.
Living in Massachusetts among Massholes is depressing enough; I feel no desire to watch a movie about it.
Plus, as far as Casey Affleck is concerned, where there’s smoke, there’s often fire. If proceeds went to a legal fund for his accusers, I’d pay for that.

Just saw this. Liked it a lot. Tons going on especially in that third insane act. Several different messages can be taken out of this movie. I must say too that J. Lawrence was fantastic in this. I do think she is overrated a bit as a whole, but she deserves to be credited here.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.

A classic and one of my favorite Christmas movies.
Lady & The Tramp (1955)
(Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)
“Put yer good money on the sunrise”
(Tim Rogers)
Much better than I was expecting. Went along with the new woman just because and ended up enjoying it.

Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Also:
Romancing the Stone
The Maltese Falcon
For the first time at the ripe old age of 31
Also, I loved Romancing the Stone growing up! Michael Douglas was great.
It was just ok. Another corporate office backdrop for a horror/thriller.
