Barry Lyndon (1975): 4/5
The Substance (2024): 3/5
We Live In Time (2024): 3/5
Megalopolis (2024): 2/5

Insightful.

Perhaps I was too generous with Megalopolis. It's more a 1.5/5.

The Russia House a well dressed, well directed by Fred Schepisi and a superb cast..interesting that it was filmed partly in Moscow & St Petersburg

Recent work trip to Europe led to plenty of airplane time.

Went on a Henry Cavill binge.

Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Decent. A fun romp, very loosely based on real events.

The Man from UNCLE, surprised how good this was and now disappointed this didn’t turn into a franchise. Loved the retro vibe and the clothes are 👍👍

Argyle. Omg. Don’t waste your time. Two and half hours I’ll never get back. Can’t decide if it’s a commasy or and action thriller. Twist after twist after twist. Most of which a so telegraphed you see them coming a mile away. Sam Jackson completely typecast and totally wasted in this. Ugh. It’s the very blueprint for a crappy movie. A two and half hour crappy movie.

Saw that one in the theater.

So. Phucking. Epic.

I'm also re-watching my box set of Robin of Sherwood, which came 3 years after this and also has Robert Addie (Mordred in Excalibur, Guy of Gisbourne in Robin), who I just learned already passed away at the age of 43.

Excalibur is just epic. The unashamedly theatrical style is glorious.
