Top 10 of 2019

[Ivan Drago]

Apollo 11 is playing at my local museum on true IMAX.

It doesn't look like the movie was filmed in IMAX, but I may contribute to them anyway and make a museum day out of it.

Do it. It's amazing.

While I see you rated "Grass" as warm, I'm curious how you rate this one in relation to his other films. Are you generally a fan?

Typical Marvel and all that entails. I feel like Frodo. "It's over... it's done."

So far I've seen fourteen of his twenty-three features (nearly all of those from 2006-on). Some I think are brilliant, some diverting, and some leave me completely cold, including some of his most acclaimed films (Oh! Soo-jung, Right Now, Wrong Then; Night and Day has its fans). Lately it seems he's been on something of a roll, and Hotel by the River is conceivably his best work since Our Sunhi, even better--more disciplined and mysterious--to my mind than The Day After (which was pretty good).

Yeah. I'm hopeful that the only movie that makes my top ten is Dragged Across COncrete... but eeeeeek... May need to be a top five.

I'd be fine with Apollo 11 making the list too.

I just watched my 100th film of the year last night. Way off my pace of previous years.


Only 22 from 2019....

I just watched my 100th film of the year last night. Way off my pace of previous years.

Only 22 from 2019....

According to my Letterbox'd page, I've seen 151 films this year (including repeat viewings), of which just two premiered in 2019 (Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood and Where'd You Go, Bernadette?; Letterbox'd lists Jessica Johnson's Hazel Isle as a 2019 film but it premiered at VIFF last fall).

I wish Letterboxd organized them by decade. I think the 1940s might lead 2019 viewings for me.
