Yeah I'm sorry this wasn't it. Maybe it's also because it was a fun wine and movie night, but the movie lost my attention pretty soon in the first act and didn't do a lot to win it back. Poor acting, poor writing, poor pacing. Some of the scares were creative and I actually liked the last few minutes of the movie. But in general, this is run-of-the-mill 2000s supernatural horror.

Arrival from the one and only Denis Villeneuve. Before he went on to make large-scale sci-fi like Dune and Blade Runner 2049, the Canadian master made a more intimate sci-fi drama about aliens, communication and of course much more that I won't spoil here. No matter how small or large the scale of the film is, Denis never loses his ability to zoom…
Quite possibly, no, most certainly the most visually beautiful movie I've ever seen. I've heard so many things about 'Barry Lyndon', but nothing could prepare me for just how gorgeous the whole thing is orchestrated. Anyone who knows my passion for movies knows that if there's one movie aspect I love, it's cinematography. Call me weak, but I genuinely got teary-eyed at one point just because of how perfect the movie looked. So yeah, there's no…
Wow, just wow. Parasite, Marriage Story, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Lighthouse and now this absolute masterwork of a rollercoaster ride; 2019 really ended the decade on a high note.
