    They used to make a lot of great date night movies like this - Now they stretch them into crappy 10 episode Netflix seasons. Last of a dying breed, I really enjoyed!

    COLORS EXPLODING EVERYWHERE!!
    Truly one of the wildest things I’ve ever seen.
    One of the best looking movies ever made! Storaro and co’s dedication to this pulpy color palette is remarkable. But this script is straight DOG WATER…

    Pacino, Caan, & Dustin Hoffman all wearing prosthetics. Hoffman’s character is named MUMBLES!! Madonna singing constantly. Pacino 110% dialed in on cocaine. Tommy guns with unlimited ammo. Nothing makes any sense.

    But man, no movie has ever looked like this before! I really admire people going all in for a unique vision, & I wish more blockbusters did that today.

    SUNDANCE 
    One of the greatest moviegoing experiences of my life. A profound, thought-provoking film shot Malick-style, showcasing some of the most gorgeous places on Earth and our mortal place amongst them.

    Director Clint Bentley prefaced this by saying instead of an ordinary biopic - it’s a fictional story about someone who isn’t going to be in any history books, but that doesn’t mean he or anyone not found in history books didn’t live extraordinary lives. 

    A beautiful & gentle movie that I can’t wait for more people to see!!!!
