    I finally got around to watching the new A Star Is Born last night, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I saw the Kristofferson/Streisand version years ago so it was interesting to see what Bradley Cooper would do with it. I thought the songs were really good, and Cooper and Gaga were great together. Gaga was was perfect for her part.

    The ending really fucked me up though. When I realised what was going to happen I felt sick to my stomach. We lost a family member in the same way just over a week ago so the feelings are still very raw. I haven’t cried watching a movie since Goose died in Top Gun!

    Shape of Water.  Didn't love it.  

    Can't remember if I posted about Phantom Thread.  Strange, but good.  Fantastic score.  
    I'm finally watching the shape of water and really enjoying it!

    Having nothing new to watch and no streaming, tonight I pulled out The Postman and watched it for maybe the 5th time.  I was curious about the reviews and looked them up.  Almost all bad reviews.  Well screw that, who cares?  I always enjoy this movie.  And the real treat toward the end is the scene with Tom Petty.  Cool!  Sure, from a certain perspective, this movie is not "magnanimous" or "sophisticated" or "complex" or "cultivated" or "high brow", but it's great escapism, and I'm good with it being hopeful in a naive way, simple in it heroism, a bit goofy and certainly adventurous.  Costner is cool enough for me and Tom Petty is in it!  Shove it, critics, I dig this movie!

    The acting was fantastic - one of those unexpected good finds, though dark in places.

    Just got out of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. 
    It was ok.
    just saw this earlier today and i agree with you just ok. Def. not his best work. Although the last 15 minutes were pretty good.

    What is it with Quentin Tarantino and his obsession with feet?
    I loved it. But it is more a film for filmmakers ... I happen to appreciate that about it, but I can't imagine the majority of the average movie does.
    The foot fetish he shamelessly shows off in his movies is hilarious to me, lol.
