The Lion King (2019) I regret seeing this now. It felt hollow and pointless as they didnt really add anything at all, yet was somehow 30 minutes linger than the original
The Rock Im still surprised how much the pairing of Nic Cage and Sean Connery works, but Ed Harris does steal it
Planet Terror Great Grindhouse style movie. So over the top its brilliant and what a cast. Would love for them to attempt it again, especially as Eli Roth and Edgar Wright talked about making their trailers into full movies
Your're Next A great twist on the Home Invasion Horrors
Q the Winged Serpent Lol so random its perfect. Love that its pretty much 3 different movies mashed together

Love that its pretty much 3 different movies mashed together I know Tarantino took the reviews of Death Proof hard so I'm not sure he and Rodriguez (who's always had a lot worse reviews than QT!) would be quite so happy to come back to produce a follow up. Last time I heard Edgar talk about it, he said kinda the opposite though, that it was a skit, written as such and he's happy to put Easter Eggs in his films for past things he loves but that he wouldn't really like to do an actual retro-grindhouse film himself. It wouldn't challenge him enough anyway - "Don't" was a hilarious trailer but knowing he's one of the only guys on Earth who could make a Baby Driver, I'd like him to keep pushing boundaries.

Thats true. It was around the time the first ones were coming out that him and Roth talked about it. Maybe we'll get Thanksgiving in a Double Bill with Werewolf Women of the SS as that had 30 minutes of footage shot

Submission (2017)
(Controversial drama. As the Me Too Movement begins, a College Professor [Stanley Tucci) sets his students the task of writing a paper on how easy it is to turn a professional relationship unprofessional given the Movement.)

Yesterday I saw 'Spiderman: Far From Home' (aka: The Long Con) - I don't know if that was a favourite watch of the year [sacrilege, I know], but well worth it to (finally) see Quentin Beck/Mysterio on the big screen...

This film was a solid "meh" for me. Looks as though it made good use of the 3-D format, but I consider that a gimmick. Jake Gyllenhall wasn't up to...
{Spoiler} the level set by Michael Keaton in the previous film, and I knew enough about Mysterio from the comics to see the big plot twist long before it happened. It felt as the plot and action were subservient to the desire for certain set pieces.

I liked it, don't get me wrong, just at times it felt like a series of set-pieces, yes... {Spoiler} 'Agreed that Gyllenhall wasn't up to the same 'level' as Michael Keaton, but I've been looking forward to seeing Mysterio on the big screen for a while now (probably weird, I know), and I just had fun with the character...
I knew 'the twist' (and the first post-credits scene) going in, so it was interesting to see how that all played out throughout the plot.
Now to wait a couple of years to see what they do with it next!

Double feature day: Colossus: The Forbin Project, from 1970 the granddaddy of AI taking over the world movies. Hugely influential and still a thought-provoking. The Quiller Memorandum, from 1968 with a script by Harold Pinter and starring George Segal, Alec Guinness and Mad von Sydow. Remember when Segal was a legit leading man in the late 1960s and well into the 1970?

Scream 1-3 A great trilogy. The third one while not as good as the first two is underrated. Shame we never got Williamson's original version
The Blues Brothers (Theatrical Version)

Once Upon a Time.....In Hollywood....if Inglorious Bastards was Quentin Tarantino's alt history version of WWII and Django Unchained was his alt history version of slavery, then Once Upon a Time is very much his alt history version of the Manson murders. The film meanders its way along moving backwards & forwards through time and then it builds to its climax. I think it is his best film since Jackie Brown but I can certainly understand someone who thinks that nothing really happens until something does. Still, casting is top notch across the board and the films feels like something close to a classic.

Still, casting is top notch across the board and the films feels like something close to a classic. I don't know if you Brian Saur, a friend of mine on FB - he's got a podcast called Pure Cinema with his partner Elric, this past month they had Tarantino on talking about the calendar of movies he's programmed for the New Beverly Cinema this month, all films starring "real" Rick Daltons - Tab Hunter, Troy Donahue, Fabian and the like, in the roles QT imagines Dalton in. Really fascinating as always - great stuff like Darby's Rangers, Wicked Wicked, Jack Of Diamonds, Sweet Saviour, Soul Hustler, Nam's Angels and many, many more. Tarantino only promised them an hour - ends up talking for 3 about all these kinda movies. One of the best things I've heard all year and couldn't happen to a nicer guy than Brian who has been namechecked in Entertainment Weekly thanks to QT doing the show. From the many talks you and I have on FB about movies, Brian's very, very close to your tastes. Maybe the only person as anxious for that California Split from Indicator as you! It doesn't open here for a few weeks, day one when it does. I never miss a Tarantino on the big screen. Still to check out the extended, episodic version of Hateful 8 from Netflix, though.

My good friend Dane Rhodes spent a couple of months on Django Unchained, he gets killed three times in it, and says basically the same thing about QT. Very generous with his time & knowledge.

The Great Hack
While the movie fails to make several critical connections, it's really quite good. This is everything about information warfare that was speculative fiction when I was young, made real - and so much worse. Frightening.

Damsel(2018)
(Very odd Think if David lynch tried to do Western Drama)
The Presidio
(1st time seeing this. Like a film of NCIS years before NCIS but set within the Army and with Marc Harmon as a DiNozzo type character to Sean Connery's Gibbs type)
