+Blade Runner 2049
+=================
+
+Re-watched, held up well. Robin Wright and Jared Leto are great.
+
+
+Serenity
+=========
+
+Re-watched, meh.
+
+
+John Wick (1 and 2)
+====================
+
+A tiny bit cheeky, but mostly just high-budget, well-made, generic action.
+Entertaining if you like watching fight scenes. Airplane films.
+
+
+Some Kind of Heaven
+======================
+
+The documentary about "The Villages", a city-sized retirement community in
+Florida. I expected to be a more direct documentary about the place, but this
+ended up being mostly a series of character studies. Some of the scenes and
+interviews were somewhat unbelievable; were they staged? Especially the
+unremorseful and blunt psychonaut husband.
+
+
+Tokyo Story
+============
+
+Watched with L, B, and C on a trip to the Olympic Penninsula. Many classic
+shots. Slow, thoughtful. Apparently the creators didn't think it
+would get much international reception because it was "too Japanese", but I was
+surprised how universal it felt. Also surprised it was able to be produced at
+all in the near post-war period.
+
+
+Sherpa and Fourteen Peaks
+===========================
+
+Two separate documentaries about Himalayan mountaineering, both pretty good.
+The 14 peaks story is almost unbelievable, and feels borderline foolhardy, he
+just climbs so fast and hard and takes risks to meet an arbitrary time limit.
+
+
+Dune (2021)
+============
+
+Very pretty, some nice scenes, characters, costumes, and world-building. In the
+end felt like just eye candy and "entertainment" though, did not add anything
+special or new to the story telling. This is a finely executed and polished
+film, but David Lynch's version brought a lot more to the table.
+
+Following (1998)
+================
+
+The Thin Man (1934)
+=====================
+
+They Live
+==========
+
+The Blues Brothers (1980)
+==========================
+
+Dead Pigs
+==========
+
+Prisoners (2013)
+=================
+
+Long Day's Journey into Night (2018)
+=====================================
+
+Incendies
+==========
+
+This was very good, though parts of it were so brutal they felt like a stab in
+the back by the directory/screenwriter.
+
+Black Bear
+==========
+
+
+No Time to Die
+===============
+
+Bond, not particularly memorable. Airplane film.
+
+
+The Grandmaster
+=================
+
+Will watch Tony Leung in anything. The early scenes were fun. Some characters
+were confusingly just pasted in to the film with no other context. Airplane
+film.
+
+
+Suicide Squad
+===============
+
+L liked this so I gave it a try. Was surprisingly enjoyable, especially the
+first 10-15 minutes.
+
+The French Dispatch
+=====================
+
+Don't Look Up
+==============
