    Amazing Grace

    ★★★★

    Stop and look at the spiderwebs.

    The portrayal and lines that they give John Newton is trememdous.

    Nuanced storytelling and a stacked cast.

    I inadvertently saw some of the end of LOTR: Return of the King right after this. Interesting double feature about humans, sin, and defeating evil.

  • The Mummy

    The Mummy

    ★½

    I didn't have as bad a time as I thought I would, but I was very bored.

    I wish the Dark Universe had worked. The Dark Universe logo in the film is hilarious and cringey.

    Jake Johnson being turned into a creepy, brooding creature: really? That's what you hire Jake Johnson to do? Dumb.

    Brief Encounter

    ★★★★★

    It's so devastating when we return to the beginning of the movie at the end. We know at the beginning something is wrong. And we either get slapped across the face when we return or as we get swept up in this relationship we feel increasing dread about returning to it. And then showing it to us from different angles adds to it. The intrusion feels more abrasive. The interruption more immediate.

    The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair

    I think I saw this once before. But did I? Did I watch it when I had a fever as a young child? Do I have a fever now? Am I still that young child with a fever and I’m hallucinating watching it as an adult man?
