The Souvenir (2019) - A young film student in the early 80s becomes romantically involved with a complicated and untrustworthy man.

It's small in scope, but well-done all around I think. Great technique in revealing the warning signs in the relationship to the audience to the same degree as they are revealed to the unsuspecting film student. Also notable is seeing real-life mother and daughter, Tilda Swinton and Honor Swinton Byrne play the same roles here. 8/10

Her Smell (2018) - A self-destructive punk rocker struggles with sobriety while trying to recapture the creative inspiration that led her band to success.

Elisabeth Moss deserves award recognition for the range she displays here which is pretty incredible. 8/10

I had a movie marathon over the weekend. There's a theme among these somewhere...




Age of Consent (1969) - A past-his-prime artist on an off-shore island rediscovers his muse in the form of a young girl.

A light, sunny breeze of a movie for sure, but Helen Mirren, oh my. 7/10




Malèna (Uncut) (2000) - Amidst the war climate, a teenage boy discovering himself becomes love-stricken by Malèna, a sensual woman living in a small, narrow-minded Italian town.

It's sexy eye candy comedy (even more so in the uncut version) for the first half before the war setting gives the film a dark turn. 7/10




Under the Skin (2013) - A mysterious young woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland. However, events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.

This is one of my top five favorite sci-fi films. 10/10

John Wick 3 8/10
Loved it brutal in places but was a little over long and some of the fight scenes could have been trimmed a bit. Can't wait for the next
