Watched 'White' a couple of weeks ago. Don't recall if I posted or not.
Trilogy now complete.

I assume you thought it was fair, and I'm being kind.
Spectre: saw with Wineplease yesterday before our offline. Good flick and nice way to spend the afternoon prior to a night of fine wines
IMO, Daniel Craig is second only to Sean Connory's bond. I liked Roger Moore as well but he took the role in a hole different direction.
Never cared much for Dalton. And though I like Pierce Brosnan in general, he never really struck me as Bond material

I was reading this morning how Hollywood once again has butchered an excellent film. This time the film from Argentina, The Secret in Their Eyes.
The lack of serious filmmaking in the States is perhaps at an all time low and completely devoid of originality.
If anyone has interests in this film, seek out the original.

The Peanuts Movie
As VB said, great to see the movie stay true to its roots.
My almost 3 year old granddaughter enjoyed the movie a great deal, and I'm pretty sure I was the only person in their 50's in the theater.

Thanks for the tip. I saw the poster at the theater recently and thought my kids would have no interest in seeing it or possibly even know who they are..until my 6 yo daughter said look it's The Peanuts.
Also congratulations on being able to enjoy a movie at the theater with your granddaughter.

Ouch. Was it as poor as everyone said?
We finished it. I'll give it that much.
Ichiban Utsukushiku aka The Most Beautiful--85pts.
Kurosawa's second movie is a "nationalistic" film released during WWII. It's a Rosie the Riveter type story except being Japanese it's not about the individual but the group. The film follows a group of women who volunteer to leave home and work in an optics factory. The film crosses some interesting documentary the footage, empathizing the importance of the industry towards the war effort, with details of the women's trials and tribulations. Though essentially a propaganda movie Kurosawa's eye for composition and direction of the women elevates the film to a higher level.
It is interesting to note that with all the "Do everything for the home front" movies that were released in America during WWII, none featured that now celebrated group of women workers who helped win the war.

Spotlight: *** 1/2, but I can't see it appealing to many besides journalists.
Love the Coopers
Predictable, but enjoyed it enough.

The Exterminating Angel--94 pts.
I deduct a point because I've never like the solution to the dinner-goers problem. However if you'd like a base course in Bunuel's surrealistic movies, this is second only to his and Salvador Dali's collaborative film: Un Chien Andalou. But Bunuel doesn't need the shock of that film's opening to jolt the viewer. From the severed hand, a bear and three sheep in a house, to the general dilemma of the party goers when you and them realize there's a problem; you're constantly being yanked in unexpected directions.
An essential film available streaming, ad free, on Hulu.

You liked the movie a skosh more than I did, but excellent for sure.
I liked the pace of the film a great deal.

Telescope A Talk With Alfred Hitchcock.
This two part Canadian TV show interview from the sixties with Hitchcock has a number of interesting revelations which aren't commonly seen in available interviews. It also has some side interviews that are really fascinating. One is Bernard Hermann talking about how the two work together. There are also two important producers and friends of Hitch's; actor, producer, director Norman LLoyd and Joan Harrison. Harrison started as a secretary in England with Hitchcock, moved up to producer and has writing credits for Saboteur, Suspicion, Foreign, Correspondent, Rebecca and Jamaica Inn. She also worked on over 200 of his TV shows.
On Hulu streaming. Essential for any film buff.
Note at the beginning of December a documentary about the book Hitchcock/Truffaut is being released. If you only have one book about film making this is the one.
