  War for the Planet of the Apes 2017

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Sep 2023

  The visual effects and performances continue to be impressive.

  Caesar's arc has been fantastic across the trilogy.

  Zahn is great except for the out of place moments of comic relief.

  The story is overall great despite its contrivences.

  Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 2014

  ★★★½ Rewatched 30 Sep 2023

  Fantastic cast across the board and the visual effects are a huge improvement.

  It's wild how much ammo the firearms have.
  Everyone could shoot for hours on a single magazine.

  The One 2001

  I think this is better than Highlander (1986).

  The Cotton Club 1984

  ★★★½ Watched 29 Jan 2021

  I watched the Encore cut.

  I really enjoyed the gangster/musical mash-up. The whole cast is fantastic and entertaining—especially Gregory Hines and excluding Richard Gere (except for his cornet playing) who sounds as flat as Harrison Ford's narration in the theatrical cut of Blade Runner (1982).

  I think I may have seen the theatrical cut at some point in the past but it might have been a different movie about a Cotton Club type of place…
