  The Umbrellas of Cherbourg 1964

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Took me a few minutes to adjust to the everything gets sung format of this unconventional musical but once it clicked, woah. Very effective. Is this a pseudo-sequel to Lola? The guy with the mustache mentioned her and there seemed to be a setting shot from that film. Or maybe it’s all just part of the shared DCU (Demy Cinematic Universe)?

  And, obvi, Catherine Deneuve ❤️ and Ellen Farner ❤️

  Feeling the urge to rewatch “La La Land”.

  John Wick: Chapter 4 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 17 Sep 2023 2

  First film on DVD checked out in my return to the local SL County library system (Sandy branch). Dad and I broke it up in half, which is highly recommended for this nearly three hour action Keanurific opus. I kept hearing about the stairs action sequence being so utterly amazing, which it was pretty cool but my 2 faves were the Hotline Miami-like with the explosive bullets (beautiful) and the Arc de Triomphe (sp?) fight in traffic. I didn’t think the JW films could surprise me anymore but these 2 got me giggling and took my rating from a 3 1/2 to a 4.
