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: 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. 🍿
