Is anybody really going to the movies any more? I mean, I can say that I have been in a theater no more than five times since March 2020. And I am not one of those who ran out to see "Spiderman." Just curious. I know Hollywood is doing lots of these hybrid releases. Watching a stream on your sofa is not the same as the communal experience of enjoying a film with a live audience.
For now, I continue the drill. You know it well. I will comb through the movie pages and give you my knee-jerk reaction to what's playing on screens.
Both motion picture and TV.
West Side Story: One of the few films I have seen in a theater and reviewed here previously. If you really want to enjoy a theater experience, this would be the one you sample.
Becoming the Ricardos: Reviewed here previously. This is not worth your time. In a theater. In your living room. On a desert island. Complete junk.
Who We Are - A Chronicle of Racism in America: Will they be covering all forms? For instance, the Black people who terrorize Asians? Asking for a friend.
Nightmare Alley: I've heard good things. But Guillermo Del Toro is the director and I have never liked anything this fat slob has done.
Scream: Yes, that Scream. With some of the original cast which tells me Courtney Cox was not careful with her Friends residual money.
Parallel Mothers: Two women meet while in labor. Paging Dr. Spock.
Dune: Done as far as I am concerned.
Spiderman - No Way Home: This came out last month so there must be at least two sequels since then.
The Power of the Dog: Dull and overrated. Or so I'm told.
The Lost Daughter: Reviewed here recently. It stars Olivia Colman and I don't like her. Connect the dots.
The French Dispatch: Reviewed here recently. The good news is that I saw it via industry screener. The bad news is that I saw it at all.
Belfast: Reviewed here recently. This was a screener I did enjoy. Check it out.
House of Gucci: The trailer gave me impetus to see the film. That's what I call a bad trailer.
The 355: It's about women CIA agents, not a freeway in Los Angeles.
The Tragedy of Macbeth: Like I'm really going to see that scumbag Denzel Washington do Shakespeare?
Belle: Animation that empowers young girls. Not being a young girl, I will pass.
King Richard: Will Smith (the actor) is my American version of Olivia Colman. Again...connect the dots.
A Journal for Jordan: Directed by Denzel Washington. See "Tragedy of Macbeth."
Licorice Pizza: I hear good things and will sample. Largely because it features neither Olivia Colman or Denzel Washington or Will Smith.
American Underdog: Kurt Warner fans? Anybody?
Dinner last night: Chicken sausage.
