  After Hours 1985

  ★★★★ Rewatched 16 Mar 2025

  Marty March Madness #8

  I should be robbed and chased through the streets for my original rating.  I saw this years ago and didn’t much care for it at the time but I had a blast on the rewatch tonight.  Griffin Dunne gives a brilliant comedic performance.  Sometimes he just made a small facial expression and I laughed.  The supporting cast of well knowns were also all great.  I wonder if this is how Kevin McCallister’s parents met?  👍👍

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Fassbender was cool as usual.  The supporting cast were all great.  By the end I thought huh I didn’t see that coming.  Also by the end I thought huh I never want to watch that movie again. 👍

  Lowering my rating by a star.  Not perfect like it was when I was a kid. Still very good.  Love Daniel Day. 👍👍

  Titanic 1997

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 18 Mar 2025

  According to google 9862 days ago I saw Titanic at the theatre for the first time.  And 9862 days ago I had one of my big movie moments.  The first half is pure historical romance.  The second half is pure Hollywood blockbuster.  This is one of my favourite movies.  Some films have lost the love of when I was a kid but this remains a classic to me.  👍👍

  The Pale Blue Eye 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Dec 2022

  Perfect film to watch at the theatre on a cold winter day.  Loved the cinematography and performances.  Harry Melling as Edgar Allen Poe was the standout performance in the film.  I’m a bit of a Poe enthusiast and Melling was exactly how I would picture Poe to look and act.  It’s too bad he isn’t getting awards buzz.  I was a little disappointed by some of the reveals but was also surprised by some plot twists.  The Pale Blue Eye was right up my alley!  If you can, go see it on the big screen!  👍👍

  The Suicide Squad 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 05 Aug 2021

  August Challenge with Mitch

  Prompt: Go see a movie in theaters.

  Pure movie theater cinematic escapism! I'll leave the nitpicking for the cynics. I had a hell of a time. I laughed my ass off. The action was nonstop. James Gunn is in top form and The Suicide Squad is on par with the original Guardians of the Galaxy. I'll be rewatching The Suicide Squad for years and years to come. A smile was on my face from the first few seconds and will be returning everytime I think about this movie. Go see it in theaters everyone!
