Alice Phoebe Lou is an interesting youngster from South Africa … I dig this song:
Movies Watched -- Dogtooth (2009)
94 minute running time … as I mentioned before about Lanthimos, the Greek Gen-X smartass, he makes the same movie over and over, and I think Dogtooth was his first. Like his other movies, it’s funny and bizarre and makes you think … 99.9% of the mainstream audience couldn’t last five minutes, and even the arthouse crowd may be driven away, but I enjoy it, I like to think that I get it, I certainly enjoy his sense of humor. I’ve liked all three that I’ve seen — Dogtooth, Alps, Lobster — but I think I enjoyed Alps best.

Gotta Be the One to Take a Risk
Master producer Mark Ronson makes yet another winner, this time with Diana Gordon:
Movies Watched -- Pather Panchali (1958)
126 minute running time so at least a half an hour too long … life is tough in an Indian village, esp. when you’re the poorest of the poor … makes you glad you weren’t born in India .. Ravi Shankar plink plonk score … little known fact is that Norah Jones’ dad’s music used to make Guantanamo prisoners break under the strain of 24/7 speaker blast and confess their terrorist plots.
Not nice to Auntie
Movies Watched -- The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)
80 minute running time … story didn’t make much sense, so Jack Stapleton was actually Jack Baskerville? … Basil Rathbone as Holmes … I grew up with Jeremy Brett as Holmes … clearly filmed on set in Hollywood … I wasn’t that thrilled, you can give it a miss:
Maul on the moor
Movies Watched -- The Swerve (2020)
95 minute running time so the right length … this a W.D. By movie, a mental health tragedy/thriller … middle aged white woman cracking up, not a new story … shaky marriage, bratty kids, psycho sister, pushy parents (mom), crummy job … it’s not badly done, but it’s also not really well done, somewhere in the middle there, can’t get a recommendation for a middling movie. The lead actress really looks like hell, and it’s great that they made her a high school English teacher.
I'm upping your sleep meds
Movies Watched -- First Cow (2020)
120 minute running time so 20 to 30 minutes too long … this was a slow-moving story, not bad, just overly slow and long … nice to see a “Chinaman” in a tale from 19th C. America (though he was full of “wise thoughts”) … they also tried to give some Injuns screen time for once … W.D. By a woman so it was sweet and sensitive, maybe too much so. SPOILERS: I don’t think a girl who discovered a skull would proceed to dig out two skeletons by hand, that didn’t ring true. I also don’t think the guy who shot them would leave them where they were.
I might recommend this film if they had figured out how to cut 20 to 30 minutes out, but at its current length, I’d say give it a pass.
There’s danger in everything that’s worth doing.
Movies Watched -- Possessor (2020)
102 minute running time … this was a gore-fest, ultra-violent, a horror sci-fi thing, and a W.D. By movie, starring pasty-faced Andrea Riseborough and pretty boy James from Lena Dunham’s Girls … mind-meld assassins of the future … it was kind of dumb and just super gory, who wants to watch this stuff? And I paid $5 for it! Don’t waste your time.
Not desperate enough to hook up with old dogface
