Director: Carlo Mirabella-Davis His 2nd Movie My 2nd movie watched from the directorA movie that is so lovely to watch - cinematography, set design, costumes, it's all just so nice and seems perfect, which is of course the point, as we watch someone with the 'perfect life' find solace with a strange hobby. I really like the first act but kept watching hoping it would get crazy or she would descend into madness. Something more exciting that what actually happens.Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Haley Bennett Best Movie Posters of 2019 __________ Locations: Upstate New York, USA

Director: Jennifer Kent Her 2nd Movie My 2nd movie watched from the directorAisling Franciosi is incredible in this story about the "criminals" in Tasmania during Australian colonization. Criminals that were sent there, especially the Irish. And the criminals that were actually the indigenous people who were stripped of their land and murdered in mass. It's just awful. The entire movie is full of awful, awful things and people. Sam Claflin, who I've known to play likable roles, plays evil so well. Too well, I'm not sure how I'll be able to watch another role of his without getting this one out of my head. Baykali Ganambarr is also really good in his role and helps us feel the tremendously awful position he and his people were put in. Here in the U.S. we weren't any better to our indigenous people. Even with all the vile evilness this movie is entertaining and effective and sometimes beautiful. I'm so glad I got to learn about the horrors through this movie and now know a little more about the awful history of this world. Learning is fun!Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Sam Claflin British History is Often Horrible (For Everyone Else) __________ Locations: Tasmania, Australia

Director: Lars Von Trier His 13th Movie My 8th movie watched from the directorYes, the violence is disturbing, but it is in the way "American Psycho" was. Like "American Psycho" there is actually humor in it, perhaps the darkest humor possible but it's there. This movie clearly feels like something special for Von Trier. Maybe it's his last movie? Maybe he's at a very reflective part of his career? Either way, it's rewarding and impressively made. I enjoyed his niche history lessons, very similar format we saw in "Nymphomaniac" and loved the ultra hi-res slo-mo shots near the end, much like in "Melancholia", okay like I was thinking, this may be a reflective movie on his career. Like with most Von Trier movies, the images stay with you... for good or bad.Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - Lars von Trier Top Ten Performances - Matt Dillon Top Ten Performances - Jeremy Davies (Honorable Mention) Top Ten Performances - Bruno Ganz __________ Locations: Washington and Oregon, USA

Director: Brian De Palma His 9th Movie My 14th movie watched from the directorThis is a clear ode to Hitchcock but it turned into more of a lame melodrama, hurt by the terrible music and extended dramatic stares. It felt like a soap opera at times. Even with this it was enjoyable watching some of De Palma's earlier skills at work. There were some "Carlito's Way" elements in there. In the end it's kind of an oddball for De Palma.Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - Brian De Palma (Honorable Mention) __________ Locations: New Oreans, USA; Florence, Italy
