Tonight at Joe's hits dirty rice, fried okra, and blueberry cobbler.

Watched the Dark Knight yesterday. Finally got the bad taste out of my mouth from the Batman. 14 years ago this phenomenon hit the screens and today it still packs a punch. Of course the real pleasure are the performances. The acting elevates the film. Few performances are as nuanced like the roles of the Joker and Alfred's. 
The Batman is unwatchable compared to this masterpiece.
 

Lots of cheese
 

Tonigh it's pizza. Cheese pizza, with a poutine.

I just watched The Gray Man. He's simply not a good actor. And he doesn't have a good voice either. 

Temple of Doom is awesome not because of a Goonie but because of Harrison Ford's terrific acting and the most wonderful and insane JW score with the best Indy Endtitles ever, unless next years film were to somehow surpass it. 

That's JWFAN in summer vacation mode.

Its nice to see people enjoy a popular movie that is also a huge critical success.

The biggest trouble with her, is the noise.

He was terrific in the Omen. He was an amazing actor who portrayed both the good guy and the bad guy equally well.

The Black Phone
 
Wow, I thought this movie was great.
It's a masterclass in suspense. It's very scary but not because of a lot of jump scares. Which I liked because I'm not a uge fan of those. Some parts of the film really made me think of Silence Of The Lambs. That kind of suspense.
The script is written really well and Derickson's direction is also very strong. The thing he does with shadows and cameramovements in great.
 
The performances are all terrific.
Ethan Hawke is scary as fuck. But not in the way I thought he would be scary. The scariest thing is that you don't see his face and the range he has with his voice is very creepy.
Mason Thames very strong. In a role where he is mostly on his own he really makes a big impression.
Madeleine McGraw plays his sister and she has a very interesting storyline. A moment early on in the film, had some of the best acting from a child I've seen in quite some time.
 
I saw the film last night and it has really stuck with me. Two moments especially.
One was a jump scare that was so well placed everyone in my theatre made a noise or really jumped out of their seat.
The second was a moment where a certain character is sort dragged away, but it's so sudden and done in a way that I thought was just absolutely terrifying. My whole body shivered.
 
It's this kind of thrillers/horrors that I really like. Not just jump scares all around, gross stuff etc., but the suspense and great performances were for me what really made this film so great.

Apparently the trailer for Nope doesn't do the film justice according to early review.
 
1941 is a fun fine movie worthy of its criticisms but worth many accolades.

John was 28 when I was born. I was 3 or 4 when I discovered Johnny Williams, by age five I was a disciple. Now he's 90 and I will be 62 in eight weeks. I don't regret idolizing him one bit.

I didn't care if they cared. 
Its never been important to me what others think about what I like. 
Of course I grew up in the age where virtually everything JW touched was gold.
Now film music is an afterthought and the level of quality is all over the place.
