Death Proof - didn't quite work for me despite liking what it was going for. The dialogue was simply too obnoxiously TARANTINO that it wore on me, and I wasn't crazy about any of the cast besides Kurt, who nailed it. Somewhat worthwhile, but definitely QT's weakest effort to date.

A rewatch of Up (2009). Still adore it a lot.

Jodorowsky's Fando and Lis (1968). It was incredibly bizarre and surreal, but I loved it. 9/10

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, the movie fails alright. However, I'm not sure whether it's because I didn't watch in 120fps or something else, but I was expecting a lot more even in terms of its failure, I mean, I didn't think the film tried hard enough, it could have gone a little further in style (not to mention substance but that's one of the main reasons it fails); instead, everything felt kinda half-baked in its disastrousness.

I saw the NT Live screening of Amadeus on Thursday - it is an incredible adaptation on stage at the National Theatre at the moment. If they screen it near you, I urge you to go! I also saw Spilt on the same day.  |

Last movie I saw was Split. 7.5/10 It turned out to be far better than I was expecting. All the shit I talked about M. Night Shyamalan... I don't take back, but I will give him credit that he finally came through with a decent one here. James McAvoy has a role that is a hammy actor's dream, and he truly delivered. He probably won't get enough recognition for it, but I will be repping with the Hedwig dance in his honor.

I watched Nashville (1975) last night!!! This movie has an awesome ensemble cast!!! Lily Tomlin, Ronee Blakely, Geraldine Chaplin, Barbara Harris, Gwen Welles, Shelley Duvall, Henry Gibson, and Ned Beatty made it into either my top 10 supporting actor or actress for that year!!! Just missed my top 10 include for either category include Barbara Baxley, Karen Black, Keith Carradine, Robert DoQui, Allen Garfield, and Scott Glenn!!! Overall, I gave it 11 nominations (in my top 10s that I give in the Big 8 categories), and I rated it 9/10!

Jackie - A very interestingly told real-life story. Portman gives a very good performance, and the cinematography and direction is great. 7.5 / 10

Hands of Stone- De Niro and Ramirez are great, but the structure of this whole thing is off (along with some weird editing) and I'm not really sure they did justice to Duran himself. But for the most part I enjoyed it. 6.5/10

Paterson - really liked this one, Driver is slowly becoming one of my favorite currently working actors.

Fences 7,5
Depressing as hell, Viola is very great! love her performance so much. that bad old man troy should win best actor though it's not a great performance from denzel. The teen actor who played their son cory, was very terrible! the other son, Bono was good and that old man, forgot his name is very good as well.

Just saw Miss Sloane. Chastain definetly deserved that nod more than Streep.

Saw Paterson earlier. Like most Jarmusch films, I thought it was good, not great, left wondering what everyone else saw that I didn't. Still, 7/10. Driver was good, but not nomination worthy.
