Brooklyn (2015)

25 June 2016

Last weekend, Jacob and I sat down to watch Brooklyn. I think I had heard of it before when it came out. And from the little I read about it, I knew it was acclaimed. Let's get into it.

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)

Marvel's The Avengers (2012)

7 November 2016

Jacob sat down to watch this the other night and I joined him for most of it. I see why "The Avengers" is so well liked and why so many are invested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

I watched Solo a couple of weeks ago. All issues aside, I liked it. It's a pretty fair movie. And it's excellent at Star Wars worldbuilding, maybe the best effort since A New Hope. This post really isn't a review of the movie, but more my thoughts about it's Star Warsiness.

The Duellists (1977)

Starring Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel, with a pretty good who's-who of British actors over the last thirty-plus years. Oh yes, Ridley Scott's directorial debut. I came across this film just the other day, I don't remember how. So it's been on the brain. And I was spinning my wheels this evening, so I dove in and watched the film on Amazon Prime.
