Andrew POE!

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.

Movies today...not as much today due to family stuff. Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (saw in the theaters) - 3.5/5 stars Lady Macbeth (Peacock, leaving on 5/31) - 4/5 stars

Movies today.... Next Friday (HBO Max, leaving on 5/31) - 2.5/5 stars Dancer in the Dark (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 5/5 stars The Last Rodeo (saw in the theaters) - 1/2 / 5 stars Friday After Next (HBO Max, leaving on 5/31) - 2.5/5 stars

I want the 14 disc Mario Bava collection NOW. Give me Fulci collection and Argento collection and that's giallo heaven.

Movies today.... The Grapes of Wrath (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 5/5 stars Lilo & Stitch (2025) (saw in the theaters) - 3/5 stars Donnie Darko (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 2/5 stars

Is it Home Alone 3 and Home Alone 4 level of "this sequel wasn't needed" bad? I'm surprised there isn't a Speed 3 (or Sp3ed, I mean it's right there). I'm sure they could have gotten an actor that appeared regularly on The WB/UPN/The CW to play the lead. Get Scott Speedman to be the lead, it's built into his last name in the first place.

Movies today....had to do work stuff, so not as much as usual. The Real Thing (Mubi, leaving on 5/31 / mini-series) - 3.5/5 stars Amadeus (Criterion Channel, leaving on 5/31) - 5/5 stars

That movie sounds like the Perfect Way to get people to stay home than to go to the theaters.

Movies today...not as much due to work and going out tonight. Topology of Sirens (Mubi, leaving on 5/31) - 4.5/5 stars It's A Disaster (Mubi, leaving on 5/31) - 2.5/5 stars

No, I haven't seen Sonatine. I'll probably 'drown myself' in Kitano filmography soon.
