Fallen (1998)
Well acted (good cast) and intriguing. Story kinda reminds me of something Stephen King would write.

The Frozen Ground (2013) - John Cusack and Nicolas Cage
This is a crime thriller based on real life serial killer, Robert Hansen who committed his crimes in Alaska. The movie is good and Nicolas Cage gives a hinged performance in this one. I read a little about Hansen after I watched the movie and figure the movie is fairly accurate about the characters but most of the police work is probably embellished to make a good thriller.

I saw an interview with Sam Jackson where he gets on fans for not knowing what to say after he responds to that query with “no”, even though that’s what he says in response in the actual movie
Marriage Story
Nicely done. Both Scarlet and Adam were great in this. Plus, Ray Liotta and Alan Alda were in this. I never heard a peep about them. Yes, their roles are small, but they both did a great job.
Did Laura Dern deserve this Oscar? Not sure. She did a serviceable job for the film, but not sure it was academy award winning brilliant. I would have to see the other performances to be fair about it.

I was glad to see J. Phoenix get best actor, imho, it was one of the best movies I saw last year and Phoenix knocked it out of the park as Joker.
They really did a fantastic job with Doctor Sleep. Mixing the Kubrick film with the new movie and also being able to go back to the original novel was something that shouldn't work but it does! This is one of the better King adaptions ever!
I think Dern got it for her body of work moreso than this one role. She's always fantastic in whatever role she does. I've never seen anything where she 'phones it in'. I'm happy that she got the Oscar.
Finally saw Lady Bird. Man, the girl and her mother had one seriously toxic relationship. Mom says things to her daughter that no mother should ever say to their kids. Laurie Metcalf is awesome and Saorse Ronan is great as the put upon girl.
Watched 1917 by Sam Mendes. It has been so hyped that i had some expectations. I was disappointed. It is skilfully made but not original at all. Basically the same basic story as in the, IMO, better movie Gallipoli by Peter Weir. Two soldiers sent on a mission to warn some others about a danger. But where Weir captures some of the horror and senselessness of WW1 1917 paints a pretty picture but it lacks the gased and shellshocked soldiers that was told to keep on fighting, the high officers that did not much care if soldiers died. For me it paints a picture of how the war should have been that are far from how it was. It is not close to how the war was. Spielberg did a better job in Saving Private Ryan even if it had its weak points too. 3 out of 5. The direction is fine even if i think he made a wrong choice in choosing to film as if in one long shot. The effect is very skillful but also artificial and it takes you more out of the movie than into it. IMO that technique he uses works well for an opening or an ending but when used in a whole movie, as here, it is just artificial.
looks like something a teenage edgelord posts on his instagram lol
Saw the Oscarswinner, Parasite, by Bong Yoon Ho. There is something here, something that could have been great but stops at good. Its about a poor family that cons their way into a rich familys service. I guess you could xall it a dark comedy. It is an intelligent and interesting movie, wellacted. I think the ending could have been bettered but well worth seeing. 4 out of 5.
I think the point was too be a long disorienting show of incessant violence, or at least from what I've heard, I haven't seen it although it looks good. I watched SPR a long time ago and although I liked it I don't remember that much outside of the scene where they protect the little girl and Tom Hanks tries to fire the pistol at the tank
Phone in leads to Oscar... something something mumbles Chaos Theory something something, I'm Jeff Goldblum and therefore I must mumble all my lines in a barely audible voice
If that was the point it fails. There is a scene where i asked myself if he is totally stupid (one of the main characters) . I dont believe a soldier that has been in the trenches for a while would act that naive. I wont say more because it might spoil it for you. As for SPR my point was that it was doing a better job of being realistic about death and dying than 1917. Its opening scene, the D-Day, looks death straight in the eye without blinking or painting a beautiful picture.. Then WW2 was a more professionally handled war than WW1. A LOT of people that without reason in WW1. Some officers actually had whole regiments walk straight into heavy machine fire without cover and lost it all. Afterward he said he didn't regret it. They died standing up as gentlemen according to him. If he hadnt given that brainless order they would have survived to fight another day and possible win. In WW2 officers had realised that men were valuable in another way. They could still be sacrificed but only if you won something for it. Time, land, political points, whatever. But something.
