Sounds like pre-Ian Gillan Deep Purple.

What I disliked most of all about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino had a great character actor Damon Harriman playing Charles Manson and wasted him. Due to that the film made no sense.

Justified is one of the best shows of the previous decade, Tarantino wasted both Timothy Oliphant (US Marshall Givens) and Damon Harriman (Dewey Crowe).

Our pal Rusty's second writer/director project is a psychological thriller.

He's bringing back some of his buddies from previous work: Jacqueline McEnzie (Romper Stomper). RZA (The Man with the Iron Fists) and Jack Thompson (Some of Us). It's an Australia first release, I don't know when it opens here. It looks like he's lost weight.

After almost 3 years, finally went theatre and saw "See How They Run" with Sam Rockwell and Soaierse Ronan, Clever whodunnit take on "The Mouse Trap". They are police detective and constable investigating a murder that occurs during the famous Agatha Christie play.

Ronan is a delight as the naive constable working with Rockwell's veteran detective.

7/10

After Black Adam, I'm looking for something different. When has Soairse (sp) Ronan been anything less than delightful...and speaking of delightful young actresses.

Darren Aronovsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler) has always been consistent. He doesn't like trailers and he has no time for woke. Toronto's own Brendan Fraser does a 180 from Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) to become an Oscar front runner. Gorgeous Sadie Sink, in her first adult role, plays his daughter. Kim Mitchell will be getting royalty cheques, All We Are is part of the soundtrack.

Rocco started his film career in The Mummy Returns, he was given the best possible entrance in that film. He's very much in Brendan Fraser's corner.

One of my most anticipated films gets released today: The Menu. I sure wouldn't mind some Anya Taylor Joy mouth feel.

The Menu is a comic/horror film co-starring The Mighty Ralph Fiennes. "mouth feel" is a joke from the film.

After two duds, Damien Chazelle has to prove that Whiplash wasn't a fluke, that he wasn't riding JK Simmons coat-tails.

Don't know how his latest will be received, the Netflix version of Babylon was woke trash. The only actor retained from that series is Samara Weaving...and she accuses Margot Robbie on icing her nipples.

“After two duds?” La La Land won 6 Oscars, has a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and made a profit. Granted, his next movie, First Man, was somewhat disappointing, still has an 87% RT score. Wouldn’t call either one a dud. I liked La La Land much more than Whiplash, which I felt was too repetitive in showing how much of a psycho asshole Simmons’ character was.

I will revisit La La Land, in the future, First Man seemed empty to me - Ryan Gosling was in over his head as Neil Armstrong. He didn't have the presence...too bad Harrison Ford has gotten old. I watched Moonlight before I watched La La Land, the former was a gut punch of a film, the later seemed frivolous to me.

Moonlight was made for less than a million, the actors did it for the work not the paycheque. Naomie Harris was crazy good in it...she's much more than Ms Moneypenny. Imho Moonlight is the best film of the 2010's.

From what my friend told me, the trailer for The Menu is pretty misleading.
Haven't seen it yet, don't give it away.

I did watch No Time to Die, did they just kill off James Bond? I can't see the franchise continuing after that ending. Ana de Armas is delicious, I would Sumo Wrestle with her any day!

The Menu was excellent, Valcazar was right the trailer is misleading, not sure why I expected Ralph Fiennes to be in a conventional horror comedy. Being a consummate character actor, that's not his style.

And now the "what goes around comes around". Judd Apatow and Pete Holmes are assholes who attempted to throw Louis CK under a bus. Jim Norton was having none of it, defending his friend and career promoter. The bitter reality, Apatow has produced nothing but brown logs since Seth Rogen stopped writing for him. He deserves what he gets.

Paul Dano is the only reason to watch The Batman, very under-rated actor. He played The Riddler as the Zodiac Killer, with none of the camp Frank Gorshin and Jim Carrey brought to the role. Seth Rogen is doing more acting than writing these days.
