Screen:
Banshees of Inisherin:
I have been thinking of that guy’s donkey all week. This was a strange movie. I was hoping for some Lobster-type weirdness and while I didn’t necessarily get it, I did get a satisfying exploration of all manor of themes: mortality, friendship, lonliness, being nice. Colin Farrell: you have earned my respect.
One Piece: Red
This movie is nuts. While I’m normally an advocate for subtitles (if you saw The Host dubbed, you got ripped off), this movie has so much happening, so fast that if you have to stop to read the dialogue, you will miss some fascinating animation. I haven’t seen the show and feel you don’t need to to follow the movie. Storyline reminded me of the novel Stage Fright. PG-13 for mild swearing and anime-style violence in case you want to take the kiddos.
Nope
I feel like I owe this another viewing. I don’t think it quite stuck the landing.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
You do things for your kids. Watching this was one of them. Watching the first was another.
Full Moon Selection: Haunted Honeymoon
I’ll get to ranking the werewolf movies one day. This could be in the Top 10. (#1-In the Company of Wolves).
Tales From the Crypt: Complete Season 5
Always enjoyable. What stuck out to me this time around: the amazing puppetry of the Crypt Keeper and the mind-blowing celebrity pairings. Tim Curry and Ed Begley, Jr., Lou Diamond Phillips and Priscilla Presley, Steve Buscemi and Roger Daltrey, Billy Zane and Martin Sheen.
Music:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Cool it Down
I miss their earlier sound but I like hearing them grow up. This is a good album.
