Bill, the only theater release I've seen is TENET, because I'll pay to see anything by Christopher Nolan. And I have a mad crush on JD Washington, just like the one I still have on his dad, Denzel. I've watched it several times, trying to figure out the backpack motif, and I'm still confused.
It's the first time in a long time I've seen a movie with such a strong woman in it. She was able to play both sides of the feminine coin with great cunning. And Elizabeth Debicki is 6'3" or so, making it amazing when she was in charge.
I saw "Flight" with Denzel, which really held up, though it seemed to unravel as the process of the hearings unfolded.
Also, "Queen's Gambit," which tickled my dormant chess-playing bone, and "Godless," two movies co-starring Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who's come a long way since "Love, Actually."
Big disappointment was "The Woman in the Window." What a wasted opportunity for a great film. "7500" with JG Levitt was novel, and I believe 99% of it was shot in the cockpit of the 747 he was co-piloting. I do enjoy him so much, so I rewatched "The Lookout," thoroughly appreciating it again. Standing out again was Matthew Goode, who was also in "Godless" and did a great arc on "The Good Wife."
Big disappointment: "Portrait of a Lady on Fire." Just boring, derivative pap. Bigger disappointment: "The Trial of the Chicago Seven." Aaron Sorkin should be banned from writing shit he didn't witness firsthand. I lived through that era in a very personal way. It's sacred ground to me.
I have a few more, but that's enough for now. How about you?
I've been revisiting films to see how they stack up and in many cases, the secondary cast members catch my eye, because they've gone on to better things.
