Week 6 - No

[Knives Out (2019)]

B-

If I were to divide the movie into quarters, the first and last were excellent, the second was ok and the third was meh. Nice acting all around and decently written but i've seen 3 movies by Rian Johnson and in each so far he strikes me as someone who, though not without talent, is suffering from the delusion that he is far more clever/talented than he actually is. Therefore where he could have tightened up the movie in the middle, he let it meander much to the films detriment being neither clever enough to not meander at all or talented enough to meander in a more interesting/well executed manner.

Week 5 - No

[The Irishman (2019)]

A+

Very well done as expected. With the talent involved, how could it not be? Pacino and Pesci were especially good. The only thing I could have done without was the daughter storyline for the most part. That could have been done far more succinctly. And those blue eyes were very unsettling/uncanny valley for me.
