Last movie you watched......

Glazer is one hell of a director. The movies he made after Sexy Beast - Birth and Under The Skin - are strange as all get out, but they’re well-directed.

 

Beautifully made. In terms of Mann’s *directorial* work - plot notwithstanding - it’s his best. And The Dark Knight cribbed liberally from it.

 

I saw Blinded by the Light this evening. I haven't enjoyed a movie that much in a long time.

 

"Is it safe?"

 

"Who?"

 

'Under the Skin' is fantastic - in at least two senses of that word.

 

How?

 

My gf, a millennial journalist, considers Joan Didion her favorite author of all time. She's also read her fair share of Tom Wolfe. I, too, read Wolfe, but only The Right Stuff, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

 

All the Ways 'The Dark Knight' Borrowed from 'Heat' Revealed

 

Went and saw "Overcomer," a Christian-themed sports movie from Kendrick Brothers Productions (which has a mission of making these types of movies). This one started off a bit slowly but definitely got better as it went along.

It did a good job of broaching the question of, "Who are you when you've lost the things that matter the most to you?"

By the end, I was fully engaged and feeling it.

 

I watched the video, and it seems more like "All the Ways 'The Dark Knight' Borrowed from Michael Mann."

 

BlacKkKlansman.

Liked it a lot, although I really didn’t understand why the cops went about their sting the way they did. Apparently a true story though, so maybe Spike Lee was just telling the story.
