Andrew POE!

I reviewed The Intern not that long ago and it had me convinced that Nancy Meyers is an auteur. I'll be there day 1 the next time she makes a feature film.

Movies today....I'm planning on watching Airport & Airport '77 probably this week or next week. As well as Hitchcock that's remaining on Netflix (outside of Vertigo, The Birds and Rear Window) and The Sugarland Express. Anyway... Awakenings (Netflix, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Patch Adams (Peacock, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars I Heart Huckabees (Hulu, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars

Movies today... To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (Peacock, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars The Loneliest Planet (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars IWOW: I Walk On Water (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 0.5/5 star The Monuments Men (Netflix, leaving on 6/30) - 2/5 stars

I reviewed As Good As It Gets not that long ago and I thought it was decent, but a lot of it wouldn't work today. The romantic subplot wouldn't have been done today. I have Good Will Hunting on Blu Ray but I remember that Robin Williams was the heart of that movie. Maybe I need to rewatch it for my insanity of daily movie watching lol. I haven't seen The Full Monty, The Apostle or Ulee's Gold. Well, I guess I need to lol.

Speaking of which, movies today.... Bunker (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 2/5 stars 28 Years Later (saw in the theaters) - 3.5/5 stars Brokeback Mountain (saw in the theaters) - 5/5 stars The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (Peacock, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars

There's only so many hours in the day for me to watch stuff.

Movies today....I'll have to caution you, most of what I watched today was a bit political. L.A. Confidential (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Citizenfour (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Milk (Peacock, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars Bulletproof (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 2/5 stars

Well, I watched a crappy movie so you didn't have to and I can confirm it's crap. And Christine Baranski is indeed a foxy minx.

Movies today.... Robinson's Garden (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2/5 stars What's Up Connection (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Fauna (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars Bride Hard (saw in the theaters) - 0.5/5 star Il Buco (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars

Sure I'll watch that too!

I will likely be watching Wise Guys sooner than later.

Thanks for enjoying those movie reviews Harry. Movies today.... Paper Moon (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars American Sniper (Netflix, leaving on 6/21) - 3/5 stars Elio (saw in the theaters) - 4/5 stars Brain on Fire (Netflix, leaving on 6/21) - 2.5/5 stars River of Grass (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars

Actually, I wasn't even thinking about the Mia Farrow narrative when I watched VCB or the whole thing with Woody Allen's personal life. I was just thinking about how I felt about the movie versus the rest of his work that I've seen.

Yeah, I tend to struggle when watching movies later at night as far as aspects like that go. It's likely if I watched Materialists at a 9:00 pm showing I would end up with what happened to me and the most recent The Wedding Banquet - essentially falling asleep in the theater and not remembering portions of the movie. I had paid attention enough to Vicky Cristina Barcelona and just wasn't a fan of Bardem/Hall/Johansson's characters. I could just re-watch it before the end of the month. Woody Allen movies to me just vary quality wise; some I connect with like Annie Hall, Interiors, and Hannah And Her Sisters, but some just seem really average to me like Bananas and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Although his more recent movies after that have a Mendoza line it's failing to hit.

Yet I watched Materalists and liked it enough to give it 5 stars. It sounds like it's a divisive movie.

Movies today... Casualties of War (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars Audition (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Don't Be A Dick About It (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 1/5 star

Movies today...not as much as usual due to having to go into the office for work. Platoon (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars

If it includes John C. Reilly as Dewey Cox, I'm fine with it.

Can't wait for the crossover movie where Bruce meets Bob Dylan (played by Timothee Chalamet of course).

Yeah, Trump was in his 20s when Mailer ran. Town Bloody Hall is still on Criterion Channel now. I don't know when Norman Mailer vs. Fun City is leaving Criterion Channel, but considering the rest of the Fun City collection is leaving this month, it's likely to be next month.

Movies today....a few more short films compared to usual. Tongues Untied (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4.5/5 stars Q (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars Will-o'-the-Wisp (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 2/5 stars Norman Mailer vs Fun City (Criterion Channel) - 3.5/5 stars Autobiographical Scene Number 6882 (Mubi, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars

Yeah, it was honestly the first 30 minutes or so of Reservoir Dogs and having the characters dropping the 'n-word' left and right. Even when I divorced myself from that, I found myself not liking Reservoir Dogs as much. So far, I don't like that aspect of Tarantino's character writing. Almost all the films after Pulp Fiction though, he hasn't done that (or as noticeable). (I haven't seen Django and I'm fairly sure he does it there too). I didn't have the same reaction to Reservoir Dogs as I did to Mallrats; I found Mallrats disappointing to watch. EDIT: Oh and if you value your time and your life, don't watch Left Behind (2000). It's really that bad.

September Criterion Collection releases got announced. They include: - Flow - Born in Flames - Read My Lips - The Beat That My Heart Skipped - This Is Spinal Tap 4K (finally no longer in OOS) - High And Low 4K - Isle of Dogs - The French Dispatch Isle of Dogs and The French Dispath are individual releases and also part of the Wes Anderson box set for a kidney / $500.

Yeah, it's too easy of a joke too. "My name is Buck Williams and I fuck millions!" Christians are weird.
