I really enjoyed Train Dreams. I know there's been a mixed response to the narration, but I'm kind of fond of that style of literary adaptation. It always reminds me of Tony Takitani, which turned a Murakami short story into an extended montage.

Four fairly solid new releases. Most underwhelmed by Park Chan-wook's latest. Hopefully I'll be more impressed when I see the Wake Up Dead Man in the cinema tonight.

I had some fusion cuisine for lunch, and this stuff is *stridently* garlicky. It might have reached the level of Too Much Garlic. I'll be tasting this for days.

Master and Commander: The Nutmeg of Consolation
Probably some others as well, but I think the name alone makes it a great follow-up to the The Far Side of the World.

Oh wow. If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is fantastic. One of my favourite films of the year.
a close up of a woman 's face with a tear running down her face .
Alt: A close up of Rose Byrne in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You saying "Also, I don't get sad."
She looks VERY sad. That's acting, baby.

It's #LetterboxdFriday! Here's my #LastFourWatched:
A pretty solid neo-noir thriller, Lynne Ramsey's pizzagate flick, a Sidney Lumet classic, and an interesting but sometimes dour Charlie Kaufman.

Careful out there, UK film fans. There's a pretty big sale on Criterion Collection stuff. And it's at HMV and Zavvi if you don't like shopping at Amazon. I've already fallen prey to it and got a few of my favourites.

Just watching The Beast In Me on Netflix, and it's the first I've heard the term 'L'appel du vide' - the urge to jump when you're in a high place - and it's good to know it's common enough to be named! fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appel_d...

This is how they should bring back Bond.

Serious, is anyone else seeing this? There are some *weird* cultural issues going on in this show.
Was not expecting Pluribus to get so, uh, political? so fast. Pretty compelling show.

I watched the films in this double set earlier in the week. Both are great, but I was particularly impressed by Deadly Circuit. It's a kind of existential tragicomic noir and reminded me a lot of some recent Argentine films. If you liked La Flor or Trenque Lauquen you should seek it out!
UK: Two twisty Polars come courtesy of Claude Miller and actor Michel Serrault; THE INQUISITOR and DEADLY CIRCUIT.
Special features include many archival materials as well as audio commentary by critic Rachael Nisbet and new booklet writing by Adam Scovell. Also available as a UHD release.

It's #LetterboxdFriday 📽️! What's your #LastFourWatched?
I've been keeping up with my Malick streak, including the incredible directors cut of Tree of Life. I also checked out Old Joy on Mubi, and Bigelow's latest film on Netflix.

After my PTA watchthrough, I was in the mood for more Philip Seymour Hoffman, hence The Savages. Saw a couple of Coen pics, and was pleasantly surprised that Sister Midnight works as a halloween movie!
