Chinese/American production 'The Farewell' is a sweet tale.
'John Wick 3' because its like a graphic novel come to life.

LeeToRainestoRoach, break out of your comfort zone and watch American Factory on Netflix. You'll dig it.

Haven't got into Netflix yet. All my movies are on Blu-Ray, ripped lossless to Plex/Infuse and played back via AppleTV.

Doco sounds like a visualisation of Springsteen's Factory, with extra Chinese soullessness.

The latest Star Wars. Yet another overly long, bloated piece of boring nonsense. Yet it’ll gross $2b. Yay...

I've been a few times to the flicks recently & the cinemas were just about empty. I don't know how they can continue to make money with the real estate required for these multiplexs.
But they seem to keep building new ones....I have two mega plexes one 5k west, one 5 k east, with a new one 3k north just opened and another one 4K south opening this year 2020.
The only ones I can think of closing were the CBD cinemas of the Hafey /Jewell epoch and of course the drive ins.

Because you went Timmy, despite are reluctance i bet.
I'm in Japan and I actually wanted to see a Japanese movie but they don't have English subtitles so it was either SW or Frozen 2!

Average year for movies but I still watched plenty. Yet to see 1917 (which I expect will surge into my top 10).

1. Parasite

For those who liked Parasite, check out Bong Jooh Ho's other stuff.. one of his earliest and best is Memories of Murder which I've spruiked on here before. Police hunt a serial killer in rural Korea in the 1980s. Also stars Kang-Ho Song, the father in Parasite.

Uncut Gems is relentlessly tense, excellent watch. Sandler way better when not playing an idiot yelling at people. He does do a bit of it but it has depth missing from his stupid movies.

Apollo 11 a great doco on the moon mission, amazing footage.

Toy Story 4 a bit meh for me.

I've heard that from many who've seen it CC.

Phoenix acted up a Storm but the movie itself was not that hot.

I haven't seen it.

Yep bloody good actor, awesome as Johnny Cash .

It’s just slow and bizzare , my son tells me they reckon it’s had more walkouts then any other movie at the theatre

Just went and saw 1917 on the xtreme screen @hoyts. Possibly the best ww1 movie I've ever seen.
The cinematography alone is worth the admission.
Spectacular *****

Btw, didn't know much about the lead actor, George MacKay, so on googling him it turns out he's half australian!

T2 Trainspotting - wasn’t even aware it was made until seeing it on the shelf. Pretty good as far as sequels go. Has the allure of the four main actors/characters from the original. Meanders a bit in the middle but recovers with a decent finish.

Fans of the original will probably enjoy it. Those who haven’t seen the first one might think WTF?

Loved a Beautiful day in the Neighborhood - Tom Hanks does a great Job as Fred Rodgers .. Yeah spent a lot of time in the US in the Late 80 s till the early 2010s so yep even though its a show for small kids. I was aware of Fred Rodgers and the Show Mr Rodgers Neighborhood which ran from the late 60s to 2001.. funny they show the old episodes in Botswana at 4pm each day . Its a great film ..not a kids film.. High Drama good story .. Recommended

Red Dog: True Blue - a prequel rather than a sequel. Kids’ movie really, stereotypical characters and not at all like the original which was quite good. Not sure why this was made. Nice scenery nowhere near enough to carry a film. I’m destined to forget I ever saw this.
