Has anyone seen The Lighthouse? I think I wanna try to see that next week.

 

Tonight I'm going to see a symphony orchestra play The Empire Strikes Back live while the movie plays in the background. I saw them play A New Hope last year and it was so fun. Can't wait!

Man, I want to see it so badly. It's getting great reviews and the trailer looks like a cluster fuck but still intriguing. Same director as the Witch as well.

Doctor Sleep was pretty good! Super different than The Shining, yet it still worked as a sequel for me. Though it wasn't remotely a horror movie. It didn't even try to be. And I was fine with it.

Though actually I don't think The Shining was scary either. I always hear people talk about it being one of the scariest movies of all time, but it really wasn't to me. I thought Joker was scarier than The Shining if I'm being honest.

Terminator: Dark Fate -  Meh/5

I hate reruns of storylines, you can't redo A New Hope or Terminator 2 and expect it to be interesting.

 

Terminator 1: 9/10.  rewatched this one, haven't seen it since a kid, I actually like it better than the second, it's way eerier and I like bad guy Arnold. Legit creeped me out at the end when it was coming at you in stop motion.

Parasite - 8/10. Great movie and very enjoyable (never really a dull moment despite the entire movie being a drama), but I went into the theatre with really high expectations since this movie is getting crazy high praise, and left it a bit disappointed.

 

Also started Vice last night and will finish it tonight - love it so far. This director is awesome (The Big Short); he just does whatever the fuck he wants and the randomness and comedy is a nice change.

I was home this afternoon and I watched The Irishman, it's a masterpiece. Don't expect another Goodfellas or Casino, it's been stated several times that this is a completely different type of crime film but I think it is one of the best stories put to film in years. Al Pacino and Pesci were phenomenal, De Niro was great as well and everyone else is as good as you'd expect. Truly seamless the 3.5 hour runtime is heavily felt but totally worth it. I might have to watch it again soon though. For now it's a 10/10.

So excited! Would you rank it best of year?

It's a one off film, it has nothing to do with the other two. It's very long, but it's worth it.

I think so. I heard great things about Parasite and Marriage Story, and I haven't seen them yet, but out of the 3 films I was really looking forward to seeing this year - Irishman, Joker and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - I think this is the most poignant. It starts out as classic Scorsese but it gets darker and also reflects on the traumatic impact of the glamorous gangster lifestyle and on aging, regret, and death, which is something Scorsese never really fully explored. It honestly exceeded my expectations.

I've heard really good things and I've been on a Scorsese phase for a while now so I'm beyond excited.  I also love Al Pacino who looked great based off the trailers.

I thought Once Upon A Time and Joker were good but not as great as they're hyped and Tarantino is my favorite filmmaker probably.
