I watched The Pirate with my fiancée this last weekend for my podcast. What a fun and silly movie. Gene Kelly and Judy Garland were delights, as always. 🎥🍿
I watched The Right Stuff for my More Movies Please! podcast. Boy, is it a long one, but I enjoyed every minute of it. It’s an exhaustive depiction of Project Mercury and the astronauts who were involved (as well as Chuck Yeager). I recommend it. 🎥🍿
I watched Predestination again for my More Movies Please! podcast. If there’s a more peculiar yet very watchable sci-fi story out there, I can’t think of it right now. Give it a watch. I think it’s worth a viewing. 🎥🍿
I watched The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou again last week for More Movies Please! I don’t recall how many times I’ve seen it, but it’s always excellent and fun. It’s an unusual Wes Anderson film, but it’s still worth watching. 🎥🍿
I watched Emma. with my fiancée today. I’d never read the book or seen any adaption of it, so I was delighted with how fun it was. It was also one of the prettiest looking films I’ve seen in a long time. Totally recommended. 🎥
I just watched the original The Italian Job. What a wonderful, ridiculous heist film that one was. And what an ending! Clearly, Michael Caine was, hell, still is, the most debonair Englishman ever. 🎥🍿
I watched Tampopo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Talk about a fun movie. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to see it. It’s a real must for anyone who loves movies and ramen! 🎥🍿🍜
I watched both Heat and About Time over the last couple days for my More Movies Please! podcast. They’re both wonderful movies with wildly different stories and tones. I recommend them wholeheartedly. 🎥🍿
I watched Demolition Man for the first time since I was a (probably too) young kid. This was for an upcoming episode of the podcast. It’s an incredibly campy movie, but dang was it a fun ride. It looked like it was an absolute blast to film. 🎥🍿
I watched Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines this last weekend with the fiancée. That was a really fun romp through the skies. I loved how much of the flying was done in real planes. 🎥🍿
Not enough people know that this movie was made and I want to make it mission in life to change that. This really happened.
I finished watching Dope for the second time last night. Gosh, what a fun, thoughtful, and at times, heavy movie that one is. More people should see it. 🎥🍿
I watched Her again for the podcast earlier this week. It’s such a prophetic, sad, resplendent film. The story is wonderful and the cinematography by Hoyte Van Hoytema (my absolute favorite DP) is perfect. 🎥🍿
I finished watching Inside Man again to talk about on Wednesday. It’s always a fun watch. Spike Lee’s filmography is fascinating. He’s got this one and Malcom X? Do the Right Thing and Oldboy? 🎥🍿
I watched The Shape of Water again this last week for my podcast. I can’t recall a better example of one of the most unique and beautiful films made in the last couple decades. Except maybe any other Guillermo del Toro movie. 🎥🍿
I watched The Rover again tonight. What a simple, but very powerful story that one has. Also, it really proved to me just how great an actor Robert Pattinson is. Not that I was ever really doubting that. 🎥🍿
I just finished watching The Banker. It was a fine movie and well-made. About what you’d expect from that sort of story. Still, I keep finding myself impressed with what’s offered on Apple TV+. They’ve got a good thing going. 🎥🍿
I watched Snakes on a Plane with a friend so we could talk about it on our podcast. That movie was better than I thought it would be, but wow, it was also not great at all. How the heck does a trash movie like that get a budget of 33 million dollars? 🎥🍿
I watched The Proposition again last night to prepare for a podcast. What a truly brutal, stark, and sometimes beautiful movie that one is. You’ve probably never seen the Australian Outback depicted like this. 🎥🍿
I watched How to Steal a Million with my special lady friend last weekend. What a really fun caper movie that one was! Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole were absolutely brilliant together. 🎥🍿
After watching Outbreak for the first time in years, I see several contrasts to real life. Namely, their virus was way worse, their media is actually reporting the facts (what little they had), and you should never, ever trust Donald Sutherland. 🎥🍿
I watched Chef again last night. It’s a pretty low stakes movie, but it’s also funny, heartwarming, and very fun. I’d recommend it to just about anyone. 🎥
I finished watching John Q yesterday in preparation for talking about it on my podcast. It’ll be an interesting chat because that was a boring, unrealistic, and ridiculous in a bad way movie. I’m so glad I only rented it. 🎥🍿
After too many interruptions, I finally finished watching the original The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with my special lady friend. It was such a fun, jaunty movie and really solidified Danny Kaye’s brilliance for me. I loved it. 🎥🍿
Being a Guy Ritchie fan, The Gentlemen was right up my alley. It was fun, energetic, and told a clever story. I really recommend it. 🎥🍿
