Andrew POE!

I strangely didn't find Across 110th racist, just more fatalistic. I watched during day light hours, but I wonder if it would have been better in a darkened theater. Criterion Channel has a lot of movies in the "Fun City" collection leaving this month, so be prepared to see a lot of reviews from me after watching movies from that.

Movies today.... The Lawless (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars Across 110th Street (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 4/5 stars The Angel Levine (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3/5 stars

Rian Johnson dropped the ball not having the sequels have Radiohead references in their name. (or needledrop the actual "Knives Out" song somewhere)

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Not sure who are fans of Downton Abbey here, but here you go.

Movies today....half way through the year and according to Letterboxd I've seen 563 movies. Keanu (HBO Max, leaving on 6/2) - 2.5/5 stars The Panic in Needle Park (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 3.5/5 stars Little Murders (Criterion Channel, leaving on 6/30) - 5/5 stars

I haven't been paying attention to Dr. Who in awhile (I knew about Jodie Whitaker's run as the Doctor),

Movies today.... Ma (Netflix, leaving on 5/31) - 3/5 stars Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (saw in the theaters) - 4.5/5 stars Bleeding Steel (Peacock, leaving on 5/31) - 1/5 star Burlesque (Netflix, leaving on 5/31) - 2/5 stars

Movies today....not as much due to work stuff all day. Chinese Zodiac (Peacock, leaving on 5/31) - 2/5 stars Karate Kid: Legends (saw at the theater) - 2.5/5 stars White Chicks (HBO Max, leaving on 5/31) - 3.5/5 stars

That sounds terrible. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

I'm seeing that Saturday because what don't I see in the movie theater?

Movies today.... Closer (Netflix, leaving on 5/31) - 4/5 stars Two Weeks Notice (Netflix, leaving on 5/31) - 3/5 stars Tornado (saw in the theaters) - 2/5 stars Fearless (Peacock, leaving on 5/31) - 3.5/5 stars

Movies today....work stuff and I went to a play rehearsal for a production of Pride & Prejudice tonight. So my movie time will be a bit more limited (no more watching 3-5 movies a day like I was for awhile). Teen Wolf (HBO Max, leaving on 5/31) - 2.5/5 stars The Silencing (Netflix, leaving on 5/29) - 2/5 stars

And Ken Loach since people get them confused for each other.

He lifts heavy things for a living. He's not too bright, that one.

Dragonheart sounds like a perfect triple feature with Willow and Ladyhawke.

Good to note. I'll probably watch Pulp Fiction this weekend, depending on what I got going on.

I'm considering getting it despite already owning the non-4K Criterion releases and a few on regular Blu Ray. If they announce a Pedro Almodovar box set, it's over.

Movies today....a lot of short films. The Insider (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 5/5 stars Pauline Alone (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 3/5 stars Pete (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 3/5 stars Nana (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 3/5 stars Killing Time (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 3/5 stars Fannie's Film (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 3/5 stars The Red Tree (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 4/5 stars Green Bush (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 3.5/5 stars Snow Falling on Cedars (Peacock, leaving on 5/31) - 4.5/5 stars

You're right. But after watching a bunch of movies I began to notice things and presumed something about Keitel.

Movies today....no Quentin Tarantino, but a lot of Michael Mann, man. Thief (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 5/5 stars Manhunter (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 4/5 stars Dangerous Animals (saw in the theaters) - 3/5 stars The Last of the Mohicans (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 3.5/5 stars

I had reviewed Jackie Brown (its in one of the movie threads from the last two years), so I may go through the rest of them. If I read books in addition to watching movies every day, I would likely die.

Yeah, I'm not quite a prude compared to Ebert about violence (I could give a crap about 'experiencing empathy through movies'), but Reservoir Dogs story wise just wasn't doing it for me. I also somewhat view the usage of racism in Reservoir Dogs to be because "these are low class white people that felt comfortable with each other to say this." Although Harvey Keitel saying it in Reservoir Dogs, then in Bad Lieutenant (I think he did, I probably need to re-watch it) and in Blue Collar starts to feel like a choice from him.

Yeah, it's weird - I have more of a desire to see the movies that influenced Reservoir Dogs than actually liking Reservoir Dogs. I knew someone in college who almost verbatim quoted Steve Buscemi's lines about not tipping when we went to a restaurant one time. He were being serious. Anyone that prescribes to that philosophy is probably a prick.

Movies today... The Last Picture Show (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 4/5 stars Emma. (Peacock, leaving on 5/31) - 3.5/5 stars A Taste of Hunger (Hulu, leaving on 5/26) - 2.5/5 stars Reservoir Dogs ("hey, you really should watch Reservoir Dogs") - 3.5/5 stars

I have reviews floating around for Queen of Earth and The Color Wheel in the movie threads. I liked Queen of Earth a bit better due to Elisabeth Moss. YMMV with both though.
