The Sisters Brothers [2018]

The Sisters Brothers
Jacques Audiard
4/5

Thought it would be a comedy. It isn’t. Likes.

Desperate Living
John Waters
6/6

The most beautiful movie ever made marks the start of this rewatch of all things Waters, in semi-random order.

Sound of Noise
Ola Simonsson / Johannes Stjärne Nilsson
6/6

MR. & Mrs. Smith
Alfred Hitchcock
nine out of six me-toos

Nineteen-forties’ romantic comedy by Alfred Hitchcock, ladies’ man. Probably best not to let too many people see this.

Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment
Karel Reisz
3/6

An ancient tale of marxism, love and gorillas.

Beverly Hills Cop
Martin Brest
4.5/6

Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride: Hunter S. Thompson on Film
Tom Thurman
2/3

It’s a documentary about Hunter S. Thompson. What do you think it’s going to be like?

Spectral
Nic Mathieu
1/6

Dumbest movie of the year.

Attraction
Fedor Bondarchuk
5/7

IMDB gave this 5.5. They’re wrong.

Argo
Ben Affleck
ok/bad–good
