February 2019 – Ponderous Personal Projects

Sicario: Day of the Soldado [2018]

Sicario: Day of the Soldado
Stefano Sollima
4/6

Maybe not quite as good as the first. But I still like it.

Juno and the Paycock [1930]

Juno and the Paycock
Alfred Hitchcock
1/2

Adaptation of a play plays like a play. And like most from the theatre, I don’t get it….

Sicario [2015]

Sicario
Denis Villeneuve
4/5

I like it.

Ralph Breaks the Internet [2018]

Ralph Breaks the Internet
Phil Johnston / Rich Moore

Pompeii [2014]

Pompeii
Paul W. S. Anderson
2/8

I’ve made this mistake before. One of these years I have to learn that Paul W. S. Anderson is not Paul Thomas Anderson.

Ant-Man and the Wasp [2018]

Ant-Man and the Wasp
Peyton Reed
4.5/6

Now that was dumb!

Immortals [2011]

Immortals
Tarsem Singh
2/5

+: Mickey Rourke on form and The Good Hurt.

-: Too much shouting. Not enough Hurt.

American Honey [2016]

American Honey
Andrea Arnold
3/5

I’d probably love it if I were seventeen.

Blackmail [1929]

Blackmail
Alfred Hitchcock
?/?

I didn’t give up the year of film, but Apex Legends suddenly came out. Commence catchup!

Knockaround Guys [2001]

Knockaround Guys
Brian Koppelman / David Levien
3/6

Run of the mill wise guys faire featuring one of the worst actors in human history, Seth Green, who is at least killed towards the end. Still watchable, though.
