  Hot Fuzz 2007

  Rewatched 27 Mar 2020

  One of my all-time favorites. I stand by the opinion that Edgar Wright is the biggest fan of Michael Bay out there-

  The Hunt for Red October 1990

  Watched 25 Mar 2020

  Finally got the time to watch this. Really good, as expected. I want to specify few things:

  1) Young Stellan Skarsgård looks so much like his son Alexander I was confused for a moment.

  2) Young Tim Curry is precious bean.

  3) Alec Baldwin does a pretty good Sean Connery impression in this.

  The Lost City of Z 2016

  Watched 02 Jan 2019

  I really, really liked THE LOST CITY OF Z. Heck of a thing. Can't wati for AD ASTRA later this year.

  Especially the ending was superb. I love movies like this; meditative, slow but well paced, and Hunnam, Holland and Pattison give all great performances. And McFayden plays a great scumbag, as usually.

  Really recommend this.

  Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy 2011

  Rewatched 10 Jan 2019

  I am kinda sad that SNOWMAN will be the stain on Tomas Alfredson's otherwise excellent filmography, since he has made two movies that are right there in among my favorites; Let the Right One In and this.

  I adore the ending. The mix of cheery french song with these absolutely miserable people getting bad endings (Smiley possibly nonwithstanding) and finding their pain and suffering ultimately meaningless. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is perhaps my favorite movie about cold war agents; it shows how soul- withering that must have been, yet it does it so beautifully.
