🕸️ Spider Man: Homecoming tonight with popcorn 📼 🍿
I just watched Dune for the first time. I thought the first hour was a pretty slow exposition, but once the story started moving forward, I enjoyed it.🍿
Predictably high body count and doubtless somewhat fanciful but nevertheless I rather enjoyed Guy Ritchie’s latest, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Based on Operation Postmaster. 🍿🎥
A perfect movie! It would be better to watch it without any prior knowledge. It was the story of a man who believed only in himself and how he came to believe in others.
アクション物だと思ってたら全然違っていた。でも面白かった。観終わった直後はそうとはわからなかったけど。父親と息子の話だったんだな。敵役の悪徳警官の方が父親としてはまともで息子達から尊敬されているというのが皮肉なんだな。
🍿 Kingdom: Return of the Great General (2024)
序盤はそれほどでもなかったが、中盤以降は緊張感のあるシーンの連続で最後まで集中して観ることができた。大沢たかおの生身が放つ迫力に引き込まれたのかもしれない。
Tammy and I saw Thelma tonight at the Edina 4 Theater. It was a really good story. Funnier than I expected at parts and sad as well. An insightful look at aging. 🍿

🍿 Dune: Part Two (2024) was as good as it gets. There were only so many things Villeneuve could have brought into focus from the copious world-building of the books, and he chose ones that were right for a movie. Part Three will be a blast.
🍿 #NowWatching Kimi. It features a recluse who listens to voice assistant requests for work and hears a murder. Should go well with the McNuggets I’m having for lunch.
🍿 Chef (2014) - ★★★☆☆ Too much of a cliche. Heartwarming, but cliche.
🍿🍿 #NowWatching Changeling, 2009 film. Believe it or not, I’ve never watched this movie despite the name.
🍿 #JustWatched Déjà Vu. Good film, but i thought it was a different story with a different actor. Unfortunately, I saw the preview for that film over 17 years ago while waiting to see Ghost Rider back when we came out of our forests to go to the movies, so I don’t recall it clearly.
🍿 Daddy's Home (2015) - ★★★★☆
Family movie night tonight with one that I think everyone has already seen but they still seemed to enjoy and find funny... So a win in our book.
Rewatched Twister (singular) this week. It holds up! Went to see Twisters (plural) tonight and it’s also good. Sort of a remake and sort of a sequel, but it works. 🍿
🎥🎵 Frederico Fellini‘s Roma (1972) ★★★★½
“A virtually plotless, gaudy, impressionistic portrait of Rome through the eyes of one of its most famous citizens.”
A true classic. One if the most bizarre films I’ve ever watched. Even without a plot, it manages to communicate a lot on many levels. Beautiful soundtrack and theme song by Nino Rota as well.
🍿Twisters ★★★★☆
🍿 Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) - ★★★★☆ Not going to say it is the best movie around but it filled the interest as a kid watching 1-3 in the past. Good to see original actors and typical plots.
admittedly wasn’t expecting much from Twisters but just caught a matinee and thought it was a Fun Time at the Movies 🍿📽️
🎥 Hercule Poirot Trilogy
🍿 Challengers (2024) - ★★★★☆
Really loved The Long Game ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🍿🎬boxd.it/EQmW
Here’s a list of “5 great underrated film performances by Nicolas Cage” that doesn’t include either of my two favourites, Brian de Palma’s Snake Eyes (1998) or John Dahl’s Red Rock West (1993) 🍿

🍿 Just been to see ‘Despicable Me 4’ and it was as fun as I had hoped. Just can’t get enough minions.
Banana.
Another link that’s been sitting in the Drafts… new movie from Donald Glover that will also have an accompanying Childish Gambino album, which will, apparently, be his last.
🍿 After the afternoon’s inevitable doomscroll, I put my devices away in the other room, popped in the AirPods, and watched a movie, taking an intermission at sunset when it had cooled down to go out front to read over an iced coffee, and we’ll see what fresh hell tomorrow brings.
