Director: Noah Baumbach His 13th movie My 10th movie watched from the directorThis is the most ambitious movie from Baumbach, a director who typically makes low-key movies. It's still dialogue heavy, one of his trademarks. And, as usual, I love the dialogue - It's snappy, intelligent, and above all, strange. While it's not exactly a satisfying movie, I am perplexed by the generally low ratings. Maybe expectations were off? It is weird and not for everyone, so maybe with Netflix viewers people were expecting something more broad. My main issue with it is it seemed like two movies trying to be one. The first movie I was really interested in, the second one, not as much and it didn't build on the first one enough.Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - Noah Baumbach Top Ten Performances - Greta Gerwig Top Ten Performances - Adam Driver (HM) __________ Location: East Palestine, OH, USA

Limited Series
This was my wife's pick and I wasn't so sure about it, especially after an uninteresting first episode. I am so glad we stuck it out as this ended up being a very strong, emotionally beautiful smart series. I saw it is only a limited series, which is too bad, because it definitely seems like there is a lot of potential. ---------- Main Locations: Minnesota, USA; Oregon, USA

Director: Jordan Peele His 3rd movie My 3rd movie watched from the directorI had lowered my expectations going into because of the mixed reviews, maybe too many people had too high of expectations. However my expectations were, I actually find this to be Peele's best movie of the three. Or, at least my favorite. The characters, the rich backstories, the pacing, the imagery, all of it was quite entertaining, and even a little fun, something that you definitely can't say of the first two. I really like how they made the characters intelligent and they didn't make stupid decisions, they just worked as a team to take down the enemy. It was refreshing. I wanted a little more of a denouement, but was fine with it.Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Keke Palmer Top Ten Performances - Steven Yeun Top Ten Performances - Daniel Kaluuya The Alien Invasion: Ranked The History of Movies Through Movies Best One-Scene-Only Performances (Keith David) Best Quotes from 2020s Movies (This dream you're chasing...) __________ Location: Agua Dolce, CA, USA
