Oklahoma City
A fantastic documentary about the Oklahoma City bombing, and what transpired and led to the event. Insanely timely, given the Charlottesville white supremacy resurgence. It's on Netflix (at least, it was in the Canada side, it likely is elsewhere, too!).
Beatriz at Dinner
I liked some of it, though it kind of floundered in the margins. Salma Hayek and John Lithgow are real good, but the dream sequences and slight runtime really dampen what could have been a sharp political dinner dialogue.
The Lovers
Tracy Letts. Debra Winger. They are cheating, but then a spark throws their marriage back together, and it smartly plays it off as though they are cheating on their extramarital spouses. On top of that, you have really great character moments, quiet stretches that let the actors act, and a really nice flow to the unfolding of the movie. I loved it.
Strong Island
An incredibly powerful story, and the way it's told is insanely well done. But it still felt like it stretched to its detriment. It's important, though, and for that I would still recommend it.
The Little Hours
What. I laughed a good amount, but it's still a silly ass movie that never really amounted to much. Nick Offerman was the standout for me, although him just standing in a room is memorable to me, so maybe I'm biased. He gets the best lines, though. The rest amounts to nonsense, but it can be a fun nonsense... sometimes. It is okay, and it is so out there that it may be worth a watch. But probably not.
Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Resident Evil: Extinction
My brain started to melt during the second movie. I picked the six films as the kick-off of my horror movie sprint, and now that there's three still to go, I'm dreading what lies ahead more than the actual horror movies in October. This is going to be a long couple of days.
