  The Brutalist 2024

  "Pardon my appearance. I have carpenters in my forehead causing a terrible ringing in my ears."

  I'd like to submit this for the Descriptions of a Hangover Hall of Fame.

  "You look good Lee."
  "I do?"
  "No, but it's good to see you."
  "Yeah. You too."

  Craig and Schwartzman quietly doing some of the best work of their careers.

  The Music Never Stopped 2011

  ★★★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  A criticism of this film could be it is too much like a watered down version of AWAKENINGS (a film also based on material from Oliver Sacks) for music lovers.

  I wouldn't disagree. That critique has some validity...but doggone it...the film worked for me (doesn't hurt that I'm a huge Beatles & Grateful Dead fan).

  First time music brought back memories for Gabriel it got dusty...and the second time....and the third time....etc. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  A frequent director of Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes pieces together a documentary he's shot over several years about one of his longtime friends (oh yeah...the friend is writer Kurt Vonnegut).
