Watched: The Odyssey 🍿

Not Nolan’s best IMO, but very good. Beautifully shot and the pace of this nearly 3 hour film made it feel much shorter. I was unsure about Damon as Odysseus going in, but the cast was brilliant.

Watched: Obsession 🍿

Finally watched this. Hype has been high and I was wondering if my friends and family might have oversold it to me. They did not. It’s one of my favorite films released this year.

Watched: Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie 🍿

Finally got a chance to watch this and OMG it is so good. There were nods to nostalgia, but this film also delivers something completely fresh and new. Loved it.

Watched: Backrooms 🍿

What if David Lynch made the Blair Witch Project? It may be a generational thing, but I wasn’t that into it.

Watched: Hulk Hogan: Real American Season 1 🍿

Listen up, brother. This was cool. Made me want to train hard, say my prayers and eat my vitamins. I had no idea about Hulk Hogan’s backstory. The vintage Wrestlemania footage brought me right back to being nine years old with wide eyes watching him body slam Andre the Giant.

Watched: Big Mistakes 🍿

This was fantastic. Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega were great as dysfunctional but loving siblings caught up in a Russian crime ring. No spoilers, but it was left on a cliffhanger so hopefully a 2nd season is in the works.

Watched: Project Hail Mary 🍿

It’s rare to find a movie that all four of us like these days, but the entire family left the theater raving about this film. I really enjoyed the story and cinematography, and would describe the vibe as this generation’s E.T.

Fantastic & recommended.

Watched: Bugonia 🍿

Elliott recommended this one. Loved it. Hope it cleans up at the Academy Awards.

Watched: Secret Mall Apartment 🍿

This documentary follows a group of RISD artists who squatted a hidden & unused space in the Providence Place Mall between 2003 and 2007. I really enjoyed this exploration of mall culture, youthful risk taking, and blurring of the line between art and life.

Watched: Send Help 🍿

This was a fun, over-the-top flick. Nothing earth shattering cinema-wise, but I enjoyed it as a distraction and escape from the day’s news.

Watched: Bone Lake 🍿

This was wild. Completely crazy from the opening sequence to the final credits. It’s graphic and gory at times, but artfully done. I’m not sure if I loved it or hated it, which is a weird place for me to be after watching a movie.

Watched: Marty Supreme 🍿

Absolutely loved this wild cinematic ride. Beautifully shot, exquisitely written and expertly performed. Chalamet and Paltrow were outstanding. I will not be surprised if this film cleans up during awards season.

Watched: Train Dreams 🍿

A haunting story about a complicated man, his connection with the world, and his love for his family. Strikingly beautiful cinematography. I felt all the emotions with this one.

Watched: Death by Lightning Season 1 🍿

This was very cool. I consider myself to be a bit of a history nut, but the story of James Garfield, his presidency and ultimate assassination somehow evaded my knowledge. I’m sure some embellishments were made for the series, but man what a wild story!

Watched: The Beast in Me Season 1 🍿

I really enjoyed this limited series on Netflix. Claire Danes was striking as Aggie Wiggs and Matthew Rhys was unnerving as Nile Jarvis. The art direction & cinematography were also extremely well done.

Watched: The Diplomat Season 3 🍿

This series has quickly become one of my favorites and season 3 was great. The writing is on point, the character development is unexpected and the relationship between Kate and Hal is dynamic. Hopefully Netflix brings it back for season 4!

I finally finished watching Black Rabbit on Netflix. What a show…part The Bear…part Ozark. I really enjoyed the pace of the story and the character development – especially Jason Bateman as Vince – was great. Recommended!🍿

I’ve been anticipating seeing The Long Walk for a few months and finally got a chance to see it. Very intense. Beautifully shot. Thought provoking with many metaphors for the times we’re currently living in. 🍿

We saw a matinee of Its Never Over, Jeff Buckley this afternoon at the Harris Theater. I thought it was extremely well done and showcased how complicated, dynamic and talented Jeff was. Tears were shed. He is a legend. 🍿

A large screen in a theater displays a promotional image for a Jeff Buckley film with the text "IT'S NEVER OVER" and a release date.

Just saw Weapons. Solid story and excellent cinematography. Very intense. Loved it! 🍿
