Watched The Martian again last night. I was really hoping his potato crops wouldn’t die this time.

Ok. We watched Speak No Evil. Definitely entertaining. It really flew by! Fun watch.

Gotta say… the couple from London… there were quite a few moments where mannerisms, facial expressions… even some of the dialog made me feel like they were actually:

We watched "Late Night with the Devil." I'm going out on a limb here... but I think this is my favorite movie release of the year. Partly because it's a well executed horror/suspese film. That's a rarity on its own... but also because it captures the vibe of the 70s so well.

The movie drew me in - and I think I helped with the process, allowing my head to remember a time when we had limited exposure to things. The world was a more of a mystery pre-internet... and keeping that in mind helps to frame the intensity and mystery of the evening the late night show was trying bring to its audience.

For me, A+. Loved it.

We watched Strange Darling last night. What a fantastic thriller. The cinematography is glorious, shot on 35mm film, the colors are so rich and full, and there are a lot of very colorful scenes. Interestingly, this film is Giovanni Ribisi's debut as Director of Photography. He nailed it.

The story has some very unexpected twists and turns. Loved it.
