Bald Move Prestige

We hardly knew anything about Truman Capote but this meaty biopic impressed us anyway. Our review covers the outstanding performance of Philip Seymour Hoffman, the duality of Truman Capote (and maybe investigative journalists and authors generally), his life in the aftermath of the experiences depicted in the film, and much more.

Children of Men is a fondly-remembered, dystopian, science fiction thriller about the end of humanity, from Alfonso Cuarón's mid-2000's filmography. A.Ron has never seen it. Jim saw it once many years ago and enjoyed it but wasn't blown away. What do we think of it over a decade later? Check out the podcast to find out.

The Talented Mr. Ripley is a name for a film that only appeals to grandmothers above a certain age. And more specifically, English ones. They also have boring taste in men. But don't let the name fool you; the Talented Mr. Ripley is an excellent thriller and, unlike our podcast, it is decidedly not for boring English grandmothers. Learn more about your ad choices.

After Westworld season 3 ended, I expected we'd be done discussing what it means to be alive and artificial intelligence. And then we started talking about Devs. And now we're covering this.

The Last of the Mohicans was a big hit in the year it was released. It made over $70m in the box office. It stars Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe in an epic period romance action drama set in the west during the French and Indian War. What would audiences think of the film if it was released today? I have no idea. But you can find out what we thought about it in 2020 right here.

The Conversation (1974) is a film about a freelance surveillance specialist's (Gene Hackman) struggle with guilt, shame, ethics, and paranoia. Released in the same year as The Godfather Part II, it is also written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The trademark style of Coppola is obvious, but is it any good?

Jim and A.Ron discuss Cameron Crowe's 2001 movie, Vanilla Sky. It was a shot-for-shot remake of the original Spanish-language movie, that doesn't deserve it's low rating.

We look at Netflix's new Russian Doll. It offers a funny, inventive, and interesting take on the human condition, what being happy and connectedness means, and what obligations we have to our fellow humans around us. At less than 4 hours, we both feel like it's worth just about everyone's time to check out. We also circle back around to Black Earth Rising, which is still phenomenally interesting at its core, but can't decide which of a million sub-plots it wants to focus on and remains a jumbled mess.

Tonight Jim and A.Ron went to see Sam Mendes' WW1 film, 1917. It was a truly harrowing experience, and a strangely intimate piece despite the grand scale of the theater and war itself. George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman do incredible work forging an emotional connection with the audience in a very short amount of screen time. The movie is paced flawlessly, shot beautifully, whether it's the pitiless hell of no-man's land or a burning French town illuminated chiefly by the harsh flat light of flares as the British and German troops play a deadly game of cat and mouse. It's an extremely tough watch in places, but an effective reminder of the horrors and pointless futility of war.

Jim and I saw a Star Wars film tonight. We were displeased. If you loved or liked the film, we're really happy for you. But this trilogy wasn't for us, much like it's father, the prequel trilogy before it. If you hate the film, we totally get that, too. All we ask is that you try to be happy for the people who are happy, and try to be understanding to the people who are feeling a bit numb like us. We'll be back in 2020 for some more awesome movies, and probably a few that will suck, as is tradition. See you then!

We saw the Ford v Ferrari tonight, and got exactly what we were bargaining for. A film about cars designed to go fast and the men who are driven to, uh, drive them. There's lots of cussin' and fussin' and punchin', and going real fast. All driving strategy is reduced to shifting a gear and hitting the gas at the dramatically appropriate moment, and there isn't a lot of depth and complexity. But man, the cars are beautiful, the driving action intense, and the sound design amazing. If you were looking forward to seeing this film like we were, then it's hard to imagine you'll be disappointed. And if you weren't? Well, see us back next week for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!
