Over the last several days, watched the 4 movies of The Hunger Games Trilogy (2012-2015)- An excellent story and screen adaptation. The first is the best, the last is the least best, except for the resolution of the conflict. I loved the reaction of President Snow to The Mockingjay’s surprise move at the climax. Jennifer Lawrence is such a good actress who makes acting look so easy.


I never saw any of them. I need to.

But then again, I only recently saw all the Matrix movies recently too, so I'm not exactly speedy with my movie watching.

Zodiac (2007)

More a deep dive into investigation and obsession by one man to identify the killer. Not the typical serial killer film focused on the acts of the perpetrator. The real tragedy is the Zodiac was all too real, yet was never brought to justice. All the same a worthy watch

I was lucky enough to watch that movie on cinema, but I was too young to appreciate it fully, which I did on the second view years later. One of this days I’ll watch it again.

Recently I have just watched two Bridget Jones movies for the first time. Pretty much fun cringe romcomedy😃

I think I would probably need some more cringe comedy to keep my morale high so will keep searching for more fun movies, never liked all those “serious dramas”. Life is too much drama anyway

I rewatched The Big Sleep with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall because I’ve been watching Sugar and wanted to get refreshed. Wow. What a great movie. It feels like there is nothing extra. Every frame of film contributes to the story.

I rented it on Apple TV+. I don’t know where it came from but it was very nicely restored. A beautiful print. Listening with AirPods Max I was totally immersed in the movie.

Damsel a Netflix movie.
Basic princess and a dragon.
Overall just meh. I would not go out of my way for it but if you like this sort of movie it’s an okay way to waste a couple of hours.

Been on an A24 binge, lately.

Watched Mid90s [++], today.

The context seemed more 80's, to me (I was in a different place, at a different time, I guess).

Great character development, and excellent cinematography.

This is just-off finishing The Florida Project [+++] (which I watched just after American Honey [++]).
