Stehako posted a review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2
The Amazingly Caught in the Same Web as "S-M 3"
“
Following an unneeded but, at least, decent reboot of the Spider-Man saga, this movie makes the same mistakes as 'Spider-Man 3' with having too many villains/storylines. It's not because it's confusing it's because they short-change every character; and by the end I don't really care abo” read more

Director: Gareth Evans His 4th movie My 2nd movie watched from the directorThis sequel surprised me, in that it wasn't much like the first one, as far as plot and concept and yet it worked really well. The fight choreography is better, the cinematography and production design is better and many of the scenes have stuck with me. Still, I didn't really care that much about the plot, as I kept anticipating the next fight scene.Added to Lists: Sequels Better Than Their Predecessors __________ Location: Jakarta, Indonesia

Director: Miranda July Her 3rd movie My 3rd movie watched from the directorIt's been nine years since a Miranda July movie and it was a delight to see her unique brand of strange back on the screen (she is an artist in other media as well). The acting and pacing is something that seemed better in this one, yet the small oddities are aren't quite as prevalent and strong as her other two movies. The familial crumbling and the slow build up of the female relationship both come to a beautiful end in the very last moment.Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Debra Winger Top Ten Performances - Gina Rodriguez Families of Thieves and Grifters Movies with No Denouement __________ Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA

Director: Todd Douglas Miller His 4th movie My 1st movie watched from the directorThis is very good straight-forward-action documentary. There are no talking heads, statistics, graphics, voice overs, nothing but showing you the step-by-step mission. It's very impressive and paced incredibly well. The footage throughout is also beautifully maintained. It's sometimes hard to believe this is live footage from 1969.Added to Lists: Best Documentaries of the 2010s __________

Director: The Nee Brothers Their 4th movie My 1st movie watched from the directorsIt didn't take long to realize this was an updated version of "Romancing the Stone". It had plenty of reasons not to take it too seriously... in fact, so much that it ended up being a fun watch that I didn't take seriously at all and just enjoyed. The chemistry with the two leads worked, the villain worked, and the comedic appearance of an A-lister (spoiler) as the would-be hero was pretty great.Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Channing Tatum (Honorable Mention) Best Dance Scenes Top 25 Predictions of Future Stars - 2022 - Patti Harrison __________ Location: Fictional Island in the Canary Islands

Season 5 (Final Season)
Sadly the final season. Halfway through and really enjoying it. It has always been profound in its unique way, but they're taking that up a notch so far...

Director: Howard Hawks His 19th movie My 13th movie watched from the directorAnother Bogart/Bacall noir (3rd this year, after "Key Largo" and "To Have and Have Not") and it honestly might be the strongest yet. More thoughts to come as I let it marinate...Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - Howard Hawks Top Ten Performances - Humphrey Bogart Top Ten Performances - Lauren Bacall __________ Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA
