  Wicked 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 05 Dec 2024

  I enjoyed it. Poignant piece with nice message of anti authoritarianism and fighting harmful rhetoric, beautifully shot. And many fun and funny moments. Still the broadway show will always be better as a musical is meant to be seen but this is a great way to see it for those that don’t get to see it on broadway. Cynthia should have been paid more. Did Arianna deserve 15 mill for this and everyone else make 1-2. And others less, but alas solid movie ! Excited to see part deux. 

  Loved the goat.

  Laughed out loud, wanted to punch Woody at the end. So some karmic justice. Witty dialogue

  The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner 1962

  ★★★ Watched 07 Feb 2024

  I enjoyed this movie for the use of the fun music, although it wasn’t my favorite. The theme of the film resonates with going against the grain to stay with the collective and not give in to individual upward mobility. Also running is cool.

  The Red and the White 1967

  ★★★½ Watched 24 Jan 2024

  Poignant film of the pointlessness of war. Visual ambiguity is a new buzz word.
