L'Avventura
Due to COVID being back to hunt me I'll be watching my Antonioni's in the coming days, starting here with this intense masterpiece.

Comes a Horseman
Fantastic cast, but I got tired half-way through.

Anatomy of a Fall
Excellent stuff, I can see why it convinced so many. It wasn't easy taking the courtroom drama route and end up as fine as this.

Lupin
I started this to challenge my still feeble knowledge of the French language, but it's good to understand most of what they say. Beside that, so far it is as entertaining as Poker Face, so thumbs up from me.

Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

Oppenheimer Probably the only Nolan I can take, but please read American Prometheus to get a fuller picture. The Killer Fincher doing Fincher, but also Fincher doing a Fincher side of him I am not particularly interested in. I mean, the first 10 minutes didn't really drag me in as enthusiastically ...

Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

Bodies Bodies Bodies Gen-Z horror? Despite its problems, this gets many things right and, to be honest, reminds me of why I like this genre in the first place. I know, I know, horror is not the platform for expirements it used to be, and we all know the likes of Carpenter, Hooper, and Romero are ha...

Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

The Collection The sequel I was mentioning just above. I say it's as effective as the first one, albeit this time without trying to stick together too many themes and solutions. It's as B-movie as it gets just like the first, but honestly so, conscious of its limits without playing the self-awarene...

Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

Witness for the Prosecution A Wilder's I used to underestimate, probably because I've always thought Dietrich cannot surpass her work with von Sternberg, and even though I still prefer her earlier works, this is masterfully crafted as one would expect from Wilder. The Collector I couldn't stick to ...

Little Children
The end of suburbia with a superb Kate Winslet. She will do even better in Mildred Pierce but I am sure she learned something useful with this film.

I have to admit seeing this threw me back to my Windows 95/98 days and I had to give it a try. I remember an uncle of mine convinced that slamming hard on my keyboard was the right way to bump the pinball table. Silly man.

^ On that "vinyl ordered" thing: between that and another record I bought today I collected a total of about 40€ just for delivery. I do hope for a safe expedition and robust packages at least.

Re: BOOK! (Hardcopy edition)
