    It's giving "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard" but make it Pocahontas with Apocalypto on top.

  • No Other Land

    No Other Land

    ★★★★

    At the end of the screening, some guy yelled "NOW YOU KNOW WHO THE TERRORISTS ARE". A few applauded, most just silently aquiesced, unsure, just like me, how did that knowledge help the Palestinians in any way.

    Surviving this world of corporate evils and state-sponsored horrors is a challenge, but some have a greater, more horrific, and frustratingly silent suffering than others.

    By action or ommission, we will be judged on this.

    Jon Hamm is very funny in The Tragedy of Dwight Schrute.

    Civil War

    ★★★½

    After the movie, some folks outside the theater joked that, if a civil war came, first thing they'd do would be getting the Jesse Plemons' red shades.

    And maybe that's the level of analysis this movie deserves. It may be a spectacular look at war journalism but Civil War is also a terribly shallow exploration of what a nation at war with itself means.

    Bonus: An unfair and totally uncalled for comparison, but Zone of Interest said everything about horror by showing nothing, while Civil War showed everything and said nothing.

    Never again, Garland!
