I’ve been reading late into the night most of this past week instead of watching a movie.
But I did catch a midweek matinee of THE BONE TEMPLE. Exceeded my expectations. Go see it!

Pleasantly surprised by BANSHEE CHAPTER. Repetitive w/jump scares, but decent and provocative.

SUSPIRIA was not as good tbh, but prettier.

STAND BY ME is even better as I get older. RIP Meathead.

BURROWERS better than expected, as well.

All good films.

Ok, LOST WKND a bit clunky, and maybe only hardcore Lennon/Beatles appreciate.. I believe Pang, tho’.

I didn’t think I’d like WICKED, but I did - a lot.

FIRST REFORMED is one of the best films I’ve seen in a while.
Beautiful, ugly, despondent and hopeful.
I’m still thinking about it.

BETTER WATCH OUT was NOT what I expected. I liked it despite it being about basic teen boy bs.

EDEN and UNMOORED both worth a watch.

DEAD END - high letterbox ratings, but…Imo, good but nothing great.
(And I’m certainly not watching it again)

I saw THE SHINING in a cinema for the first time (have seen it many times on tv and DVD) last night. In IMAX!
I was skeptical at first re the IMAX part, but once the film started - WOW! That first shot over the mountains!
And those scenes drenched in red…
Wow.

I listened to McCARTNEY III (2020) today for the first time ever.
Dk why it took me so long!

I loved every song! Paul’s voice has aged but he still creates these bright, catchy melodies.
This album reminds me a bit of the 1st McCARTNEY (1970) too. Overall vibe is pensive, eloquent but simple…

WADE IN THE WATER was excellent. Depressing, but excellent.

Red Rose Speedway.
Underrated classic, actually.
Twelve year old me always knew it, even if the dipshit bros at Rolling Stone didn’t have the good sense (or taste) to..

#Frankenstein dir. by G. Del Toro is a masterpiece.
It was so beautifully done, I cried.

Black Phone 2 was a surprisingly good sequel.

Also enjoyed the slow, dreadful simmer of Within The Pines.

First two are very worthwhile - and both are very bleak.

HONEY DON’T - a waste of two hours and it’s now ruined that song for me…Honey, don’t bother.

4th is ok. One of those films that’s good until just before the end, iykwim.

I watched THE HAND so no one else has to- please don’t waste time on it. Michael Caine must’ve been desperate for $ to appear in this.

TAIWAN KILLER HOSPITAL was meh, but a lotta fun to watch.

THE RITUAL I loved, recommend.

Loved THE LONG WALK too.

Woo-hop, here we go!
Retro nostalgic dance party!

All bc we’re celebrating feeling better from these nasty colds we both caught last weekend.

Also, look how worn out this album cover is! My younger brother and I played this CONSTANTLY when it came out.

Mel dug out my old Men at Work vinyl LP, CARGO.
Man, I have not heard some of these songs since I was in high school!

And pleasantly surprised at how timeless these songs sound.
“Overkill” is still one of my faves. I was lucky to see #ColinHay perform it live w/Ringo Starr 2 wks ago in Chicago.

Post a book you love from the 70s.
Just covers, no explanation, no review.
