BrainDead: The Path to War Part Two: The Impact of Propaganda on Congressional War Votes (2016)
RECAP!
Love this series, but even if I didn't, the first nine episodes are worth watching just to set the stage for the recap at the beginning of episode 10.
Oh baby, I'm gonna turn your swing state...
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
not a big Tarantino fan...
...having said that, I loved Kill Bill (first one). Absolutely loved this, too. Not at ALL what I expected. I don't want to say too much and ruin it. I'm 59 and appreciated the nostalgia throughout. But the palpable tension from the back story that built in my gut surprised me. I almost turned it off knowing what was coming. Outstanding movie. Best I've seen in years. The music, as in other Tarantino (and Coen Bros.) flicks is surprising, apt, perfect (the JRB Theme made me laugh out loud). Lastly, as a male barely three years older than Brad Pitt, when he climbed up on that roof and took his shirt off I almost swooned. It would be easy to hate him if he wasn't so likeable.
A Simple Favor (2018)
Fun!
Okay, sure, it is silly & far-fetched. But it was intelligently done, well paced with no gaping plot holes, and almost completely void of Hollywood agenda. In fact, the role the obligatory gay dad played at the end of the movie justified the character.
Some unforeseen twists and aptly low-brow observations of parenthood all lent to a somewhat keen sense of humor. Best fun I've had at the movies in awhile.
