Seems like someone should have created a flowchart to determine whether there was an audience for Bombshell.

Do you like Fox News?

* “Yes” -> Would you like to see a movie about how lousy Fox News is? “No”
* “No” -> Would you like a movie about the plight of Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly? “No”
* “I don’t care about it” -> OK

I don’t know maybe that’s not a flowchart, but you see where I’m going.

Happy Holidays, everyone.

Ford vs Ferrari was a lot of fun. Was surprised by the running time, but no big deal.

Saw it again today. I love that movie. The lightsaber battle at the crashed Death Star site alone is enough reason to see it again. One of the best battles in all of the Star Wars movies.

Nice job! Booked marked for future reference!

Under the Skin kind of confused me the first time I watched it but there was something about it that I couldn't shake from my mind. I've since watched it a few more times and it's become a favorite of mine. Awesome pick!

Agreed on many of those and that’s a great summation of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Just got the Blu-Ray and looking forward to watching it again.

The line is “Spring break forever,” not just for a while.

Great write-up and agree for the most part with the list. Haven't seen many of them so i have plenty to add to my list to watch.

A couple i can't get behind are hereditary and it follows. Those just didn't do anything for me, as a horror fan. I dunno, maybe they were just way to smart for a simpleton like me. I felt the same about The VVitch (which i'm surprised to find didn't make the list).

Also, not the biggest terrence malick fan.

I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood the other night and it just didn't resonate with me. I dunno why--everything about it was great--the acting, the dialogue, the setting, etc. Maybe i just need to watch it again.

Of the list, I'd prolly have sicario at #1. Again, I'm a simpleton.
