Watched quite a few films in the last week or so - all off Netflix
Sing Street - recommend
Chef - recommend
V for Vendetta - enjoyed
ST. Vincent - recommend
Tallulah - enjoyed
Cake - I thought Aniston was great, but the movie just kinda sat there.
Hugo - Beautiful movie, but the story was disjointed and there was more build-up than warranted.
That was also the explanation given for the watermelon in the novelization of
Buckaroo Banzai.
Which is actually pretty good.
I love Hugo--it's an annual rewatch for me.
I need to watch some of the others, though.
I finally saw Deadpool tonight! I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
Oh sing street is just wonderful.
I just watched "Me Before You", traitor to my people that I can be.
As a movie, I didn't hate it.
As a barometer of successful living for disabled people? Of course, it sucked(But I'm not sure it was really trying to do that, either, and should it?) But part of me would think it'd be nice if there could be another version where he takes his mad financial skills and uses them to help people instead of just winning, and then he goes home with Lou and learns how to make love when you can't climb up on the kitchen table or whatever.
Finally saw Hidden Figures, which was SO GREAT. I was planning to go with my mother, and a couple friends of hers ended up also coming, and come to find out, he was literally working on rockets at Langley in 1959! I had no idea. Bananas.
Finally saw Moana. LOVED IT!
Currently watching Postcards from the Edge, and it's so great! And chock full of everyone. Annette Bening, for one, is practically unrecognizable.
