Everything Everywhere All At Once

Absolutely amazing. Funny, well shot, well acted by all but Michelle Yeoh especially is divine. Trippy but not hard to follow.
 
Death on the Nile was fantastic. Another zippy two hours of watching a star cast chew scenery. The stars, the long camera shots, the backgrounds, the blues music. It's another love letter to the Agatha Christie era. Such a fun ride.

Looking forward to the next film!!
 
I came upon a list of recommended WWII movies and have started in a on a few that I have not seen before except for one:

Rome, Open City (1945). Set in Rome in 1944 this film centers on a resistance fighter trying to escape the city with the help of a Catholic priest. This is part one of a trilogy and while I have yet to watch all three but if the remaining two are as engrossing as this one I will be extremely pleased.

A Man Escaped (1956). A resistance fighter imprisoned in France learns he is to be executed, and sets off on doing all he can to escape. Based upon the writings of former French POW. As good as B&W gets. From my understanding non-actors were used and it works. There is plenty of tension and drama, and despite the fact its minimalist no frame is wasted.

In my queue:

-The Cranes Are Flying (1957)
-The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) *I’ve seen this one already but it’s been probably 30 years. We visited some of the preserved historical sites along the Kwai in 2019 so I think it’s time to watch this one again.
-Army of Shadows (1969)
-Ivan’s Childhood (1962)
-Where Eagles Dare (1968)
-Come and See (1985)

MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS was the first time I've every walked out of a Marvel movie severely disappointed.

A lot of my objections are story related and pretty spoiler heavy, so I'll hold off on that note for a bit. Just very disjointed, had a lack of direction, and there seemed to be an overwhelming lack of continuity, the last bit being what I'm upset (also this point is relative. It's not TRANSFORMER's bad, but bad based on Marvel's track record here).

Edit: I give it a D+. This is gonna hurt at the box office for the Mouse...

My daughter loved it. I haven't seen it yet.
 
I saw the trailer and it looked like the CGI was from the late 1990s. And the Sam Raimi humor seemed out of place. I honestly havent even heard my Marvel friends sounding super excited about it...

I was never going to see it anyways ;^)
 
Last Year at Marienbad.

Holy fuck what... what?

I love movies that confuse me. This one said "challenge accepted oh and fuck you." I have no idea what it is. I can't even begin to say.

I'll say this, though -- it was intentional. Every shot was storyboarded. This is non-spontaneous surrealism. The closest thing I can compare it to is Zappa or Monk, where every note and nuance is deliberate and drilled. Maybe late Joyce.

No idea except it's healthy there are things above us.
