Dark Waters. Worth watching.
Death on the Nile
Looks spectacular. (And, of course, so does Gal…) It definitely held my interest but I wouldn’t consider it a good movie, per se.
I re-watched CODA. It deserved to win the Oscar (in a sub-par year) and I highly recommend it. As I said, it is much less precious and much more light-hearted and funny than you might expect. And not at all preachy. Just smile-inducing.
The Trip, a Norwegian dark comedy. Pretty good.
The Batman
Can't believe I've finally watched The Batman. It's been a month, almost two, since it was released. I have so much studying. Foturnately, a friend of mine made me visit the site where I found help to at least finish my writing project on time. So the movie was like a bonus for me after it was passed.
So, I finished The Batman…
Meh. Not as good as Burton’s nor Nolan’s. The cars and gadgets didn’t seem as cool and the whole thing seemed smaller. They were going for a retro realistic style that will work for some, but I didn’t find it “fun”. Still, it was well made. B-
Taxi Driver. Over the years, I have seen many scenes ("You talkin' to me?) but had never seen the entire movie. To be honest, I found it rather boring.

My 14 year old son has finally discovered Nirvana, after hearing Something In the Way in the soundtrack. So that's a positive. I have yet to see the movie so no grade for me yet.

I watched it as well and felt the same. Maybe it was something that had to be consumed in the era it was made.

Yep. And that’s also a good analogy to my whole problem with the film, though I’ll be interested to read your thoughts. That’s a really good song, but it isn’t an epic song. It captured the mood of the film so well it is even refrained.
Enemy. Strange.
Operation Mincemeat. Okay, but I didn't like it as much as some critics seem to have.

French Dispatch? The Wes Anderson film? If so, what did you think of it?

Yes I enjoyed it. I have a pretty high level of tolerance for his films and while some of the vignettes were more successful that others - overall I though it pretty entertaining
Grease
Sun Dogs. An understated, gentle and humorous film.
In the Heights - yet again. Perhaps seen more times in a short period of time than any movie in a long time.
