Pretty standard Netflix fare. Not that good and not that bad. You watch it and it took ninety minutes, and when it's all over you turn on <i>Queer Eye</i> or <i>Ozark</i>. I dunno - <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSh_oEHXjs0">Becoming</a> </i>is a really just passable ad for <a href="https://www.obama.org/">Obama</a>'s book. It has some really great and inspiring footage of girls all across the country. I mean, wow, what a mind-blow that must have been to be fourteen and have the former First Lady, <i>this </i>former First Lady, listen to what you're saying and give you a hug. <a href="https://www.obama.org/">Michelle Obama</a>, of course, absolutely rules and is totally fucking missed, but the movie doesn't have a lot of bite or grit, which is the only thing I want to see.

How fun, and -- gosh -- better than all those dumb movies! It was nice to see a Star Wars story that's wasn't too grand or spectacular, and one that hardly focused on family legacies or magical/mystical mumbo jumbo. Seeing this season end with Giancarlo Esposito and his flowing cape and light-up sword made me a little skeptical, however, for <i>Mandalorian </i>season two, as I'm afraid that the future of the series will trend toward Jedi spiritualism and the unmasking of a Fett dynasty rather than maintaining the toward desolate landscapes and one-on-one blaster combat of these episodes.

The great thing about <i>Yesterday </i>is that it's really just pretty good! Not a masterpiece, not a classic, just a top-notch weeknight watch on pay cable.

I watched <i>The Baron </i>a number of times as a kid, which means I still enjoyed it as crusty old adult. I also - and this was pretty astonishing to me 'cause I haven't watched it for two decades - remembered all the dialog and all the vocal inflections. What a trip! I mean, for all these years, I doubt I could have quoted this movie to you, but from the moment we pushed play I could hear Sarah Polley's voice a second before she said anything. Same for John Neville and Winston Dennis and all those other guys whose names I didn't look up. How cool is the brain, ya know? <br />
<br />
That said, the whole movie is yelling and explosions. Yipes. Definitely wouldn't have cared for it if I'd seen it as a pretentious grown-up rather than as a precocious child.d evonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801989274553287659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755902.post-83600930592970076552020-05-03T17:09:00.000-07:002020-05-03T17:09:08.260-07:00That Thing You Do!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This movie was annoying. I wanted to like it, but I didn't get its sense of humor or find the dialogue or delivery amusing. Also, so much orange.</div>

Wes Anderson and co. took full advantage of the medium of film in this one, and - hey - that was pretty cool! The set design, pacing, dialogue, color schemes, casting, humor - all of it felt uniquely geared toward the cinematic experience. As we watched <i>Grand Budapest Hotel</i> I thought, wow, this feels like a shining example of narrative cinema's strengths and possibilities, even though when the movie ended I found that it hadn't quite - as the kids might say - "hit me in the feels" or made me want to award it four stars like I would with stone-cold <a href="https://www.rogerebert.com/great-movies">classics</a> like <i>Silence of the Lambs</i>, <i>Frankenhooker</i>, or <i>Tales of the Grim Sleeper</i>. </div>
