Speaking of A24, I'm interested in Kepler's response to this:

Last Train from Gun Hill (1959). Douglas, Quinn and Carolyn Jones who until I watched this would not have pulled out of a lineup that didn't include Halloween makeup.
Magnificent Seven, High Noon, LTfGH? In an era of cookie-cutter westerns this one is far, far from formulaic. Unforgiven with a purpose. Quinn and Douglas kill their performances. Highly recommend.Comment

JFC Nathan Lane, if these are the offers you're taking, please retire already. Maybe stick to doing a little Broadway when you get bored.Originally posted by aparch View PostComment

My wife had me watch Coda starting last night and into today. It’s really good. Really good.

I had never heard of the movie until my wife brought it to my attention. I learned that it won three Oscars in 2022, including Best Picture. (Really good, huh?)

The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941)
Down on his luck farmer agrees to sell his soul to Mr. Scratch in exchange for 7 years of fortune. Walter Huston brilliantly plays the role of the devil with mischievous, cheery, and ruthless abandon. It's more than good and evil, it's a statement about the corrupting power of wealth and hits even today. The movie doesn't perfectly stick the landing but it's great nonetheless. There are some connections to Citizen Kane due to I believe both being made by some of the same key people sans Wells.

I watched Alexandra Pelosi's latest documentary, The Insurrectionist Next Door. It's running on HBO/MAX right now.
I've never really thought of Pelosi as a great documentarian. I don't think there are any of her films that will cause you to sit and ruminate on them for days or months at a time.
But she makes, what I call, really good "popcorn" documentaries, that are engaging and good entertainment for 100 minutes, which is all you can really ask for out of most films.
This film fits within that.
It's basically a film where Pelosi interviews a half dozen to dozen participants in the January 6 insurrection. She uses footage most of them took themselves and posted to social media to give the viewers a sense where this person was and what they did that day.
She interviews most of them in their homes, either before their prosecutions were completed, or even after they've served their sentences. She basically attempts, with each individual, to see if they'll sort of blame Trump for being there that day, to see if their views of Trump have changed, and to see if she can learn what they actually thought they were going to do once they entered the capitol building.
I would say it's definitely worth a watch. It's got a decent comedy aspect to it, which might be unexpected. It's also a reminder that no matter what anyone might think of these individuals, there is a human story behind it. Sometimes the story is precisely what you would think, and in other instances, not so much.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.Comment
