A wicked, sumptuous delight. Three amazing performances, prominent music, a great script... and Horatio, the fastest duck in the city!!!!! 🦆

Jupiter Ascending 2015
Bananas, in the best way. Artistic, inventive, and with an insane amount of world-building. The choices are bold (Eddie Redmayne has devoured everything in sight) and don't always work (Mila Kunis is bland as heck), but it's certainly A VISION with great ideas and grand aspirations. It's really a shame we'll never get another one, because I think there's a lot to love and great places these characters could be taken.

Ennio 2021
Pretty much exactly what you'd want out of "the definitive" documentary on composer Ennio Morricone. Lots and lots of talking heads, lots and lots of music, and even a sprinkling of education: music notation, influences, technique and process. Well-shot, well-assembled.
Perhaps a tad long, but again: a pretty definitive look at the life and career of one of the greatest, most influential, and most prolific composers of the twentieth century.

Dalíland 2022
Disappointingly by-the-numbers “young, attractive ingénue joins the inner circle of a genius, only to find out everything isn’t fun and parties.”
Ben Kingsley and Barbara Sukowa are great as Salvador and Gala Dalí. Editing felt clunky. Zero Dalí paintings shown (rights issues?). Decent score.
It’s not bad, it’s just nothing new or exciting, and especially for a film inspired by surrealist painter, I was expecting something a bit more interesting or visually inventive.
