  Hit Man 2023

  ★★ Added

  The shit I've got packed away in my head. I recognized the music of the piano piece at the credits but not the title or composer. Made me watch the entire credits to find out. Guaraldi, Cast your fate to the wind. But where do I know it from. The Peanuts? No. According to Wiki, limited licensing in movies. 1988's The In Crowd. Is where. Goddamn. Haven't seen that in 35 years. Great soundtrack if you're into the 60s. Pretty…

  Day Shift 2022

  After the Sunset 2004

  ★★★½ Added

  Fun carribean rivalry-heist flick.

  ★★★★ Added 2

  Resurrection for Wes Anderson. And most likely short-lived. What I heard was this was originally Roman Polanski's film but the studio saw that PR nightmare coming a mile away and snatched it up. And thank god for that--Johnny Depp as Captain Sharp might've ruined his career. I guess Emmanuelle Seigner would've played Mrs. Bishop or Social Services.

  The 1960s was achieved--this movie is a goddamn time machine. Phenomenal effort, including soundtrack. Though a bit cartoonish in places, a perfect rainy day film.
