Through a glass darkly is the fifth Bergman film I've seen. I'm an admirer of his cinemat(ograph)ic skills. Wild Strawberries ranks high in my list of all-time favorite films.

Through a glass darkly is once again aesthetically impeccable, with skillfully lit, atmospheric black and white cinematography. But I reluctantly have to admit that the story and characters actually bored me a little, causing my involvement to diminish. The slightly dated, dramatic acting style felt like watching a Shakespearean stageplay, which undoubtedly had a different effect on the original audience than it had on the spoiled me in 2019.

Bleach is a deliciously over-the-top Japanese manga / anime style live-action superhero flick. I'm sure this would have been one of my favorite films if I had seen this in my adolescent years. But despite the grumpy, middle-aged fart I am these days I still quite enjoyed it. The film was filled with beautiful people, cool creatures and some impressively convincing interaction between live action and computer graphics.

Great movie, with top class performances by both Tom Hanks and the Somalian actors. A tense drama that leaves you on the edge of your seat, with the added dimension of the film being based on a true story, although you wish these things wouldn't happen for real.
