I took a trip back to the 80s and watched Dune (1984) on laserdisc. People love to hate on it, but I much rather watch this version of it than the new ones.
I’ve just watched Brazil, a dystopian scifi from the 80s. The visuals were great, and I love the genre, but I wasn’t really feeling it. I just couldn’t really care about the characters.
I watched Airplane II last night. Hadn’t seen it since I was a kid. I remember it being as funny as the first one but now not so much. Just a lot of recycled dumb jokes from the first one. Although the end scenes with William Shatner did crack me up - pretty much the only saving grace.
We watched the Murder on the Orient Express series, including the nee Haunting in Venice movie. I really liked them. They’re fun and keep me guessing until the end.
Typist Artist Pirate King (2023) - biopic of Audrey Amiss with a very effective portrayal of her paranoid schizophrenia.
The Creator (2023) - looked great but totally predictable and unoriginal.
A Field in England (2013) - surreal, low-key folk horror with some memorable BW cinematography.
Oppenheimer (2023) - powerful and great performances, but it could have been just as effective with 20 minutes cut IMHO.
The Miracle Club (2023) - nothing outstanding here, but a solidly told tale of forgiveness.
Lair of the White Worm (1988) - as messily uneven as ever. Amanda Donahue seemed to know what Loach Russell was aiming for. Not sure about anyone else.
I just watched Spirited Away. I’ve seen it many times. My sister is a big anime fan so we always used to watch Studio Ghibli movies and they are my favorite anime movies.
