The best R-rated talking dog #movie since Into The Wild.
Lars Von Trier was going to do a version of this but Stellan Skarsgard wasn't available and all the dogs would die and it would be at least 3 hours long.
Uneven yet sometimes inspired parody of the inane mayonnaise Hallmark Christmas #movies with everyone playing it straight.
Occasional effective one-liners keep you laughing despite its dead spots.
I've never never seen a Hallmark Christmas #movie with barely a minority character. This will have to do.
With this and It's A Wonderful Knife, Justin Long is now Christmas staple.
Finally getting around to finishing this as I didn't feel like binging due to the repetitive structure to the episodes (ANOTHER Usher dead, again?).
Haunting of Hill House is still my favorite Flanagan #Netflix limited series.
Like this more than Midnight Mass because of the Poe callbacks and the very creative kills.
Unfortunately, like Midnight Mass, there are narrative-killing monologues and exposition dumps. You can hear a character (usually Bruce Greenwood) start a navel-gazer, call DoorDash and by the time the Very Important Monologue finishes, your food will be there.
You feel like you should be taking notes like you'll be tested on this later. Every performer is well cast, especially an against-type Carla Gugino. Mark Hamill gives good growl.
8 episodes where you could have done 6 if it weren't for the speechifying.
Took it long enough to fall.
Currently #watching The September Issue (2009), a fashion documentary about Vogue and Anna Wintour directed by R.J. Cutler. It's light and mostly uncritical about the fashion industry. Like fashion, it's all puff, and very little piece. #film
Julianne Moore way moore, um, more unhinged than when she was playing Carrie's mom.
I got more involved with Natalie Portman reading a letter than sitting through the entire season of Ridley Scott's Napoleon.
Todd Haynes lifting the rock and watching the cockroaches scatter in the seemingly mundane. A color blasted Persona with a soap opera score.
Safe is still my favorite Haynes/Julianne Moore collaboration. May December is a close second.
Requisite Eddie Murphy family #movie: Christmas Edition.
With a two hour running time, it tests your patience with subplots that should have been jettisoned and sequences that should have been trimmed but then you remember you're watching a Christmas movie and you don't care about things like that but at least it's not one of those Stepford White People Hallmark #Movies.

The Amazon corporation teaches you the true meaning of Christmas!!!
This B-movie classic shows us the dangers of being attacked by the world's largest serving of cherry pie filling.
There's nothing particularly scary about any of this, though you can't help but smile at everything you see on screen. #Movies were 80 cents a ticket. Wow.
This is the whitest #movie town I have ever seen. I thought I saw a black person during the scene where everyone runs out of the theater but I couldn't be sure. Maybe that was Mayor Goldie Wilson's aunt or something.
Watch it...if you dare.
Martin McDonagh's crime #thriller is entertainingly breezy and easy enough to forget after it ends. A-list looks like they're enjoying themselves chewing on grindhouse dialogue and so does the audience. A Guy Ritchie #movie if he wasn't a hack. My favorite psychopath is #4.
A minor masterclass in deadpan humor.
Thought this was a Bob Ross biopic but after the first couple of jokes I realized this was...something else.
Far from perfect as, other than Wilson's Carl, no other character rises above the level of sketch and you may not be into this kind of humor.
A bunch of comedic actors don't do much but at least everyone gets one good line or reaction.
A perfect change of pace for when you want something off center.
