Let's Talk Movies #36 - 2020 - Yep it is a new decade

Well, I made it through half of Sinners (we are at my daughter’s and they bought it) and left when it became a horror movie. DH watched to the end. We thought the acting and cinematography were great but weren’t particularly moved or impressed. We’re still rooting for OBAA in my house….

Bugonia was one of the strangest movies I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen David Lynch films! Kudos to Emma Stone for changing things up all the time.

I certainly didn’t have this on my 2026 movie bingo card, but this is apparently happening.

Conan going to need a protégé in this film, right? RIGHT?!

I know, right?! Arnold Schwarzenegger is almost 80 years old.

In teasing King Conan, Schwarzenegger told the crowd, “It’s a great story where Conan was 40 years king [as] king and he gets complacent, and now he gets forced out of the kingdom, slowly. Then there’s conflict, of course, and then he somehow comes back, and then there’s all kinds of madness and violence and magic and creatures. Now, of course, you have all the special effects, and the studio system has plenty of money to make those movies really big. So I’m looking forward to all of those projects.”

Power Ballad - Official Trailer

Today’s movie was “Sentimental Value”. My sister and I both loved it and hope it wins for best foreign film (although we haven’t seen the Secret Agent one yet). We really related to the relationship between the sisters.

Zootopia 2 is now on Disney+ so we watched it tonight. My kids were full on belly laughing at a few parts and the adults were pretty entertained too. Disney clearly put a lot of money into it, and it’s good fun.

OBAA just seemed to me to be a bloodier and more violent remake of “Running on Empty”, which I loved.

Is Hamnet worth watching?

Is Hamnet worth watching?

I would say so. It's beautifully made and acted. Just know going in that you may need lots of tissues. And that it moves slowly.

Is Hamnet worth watching?

A lot of people loved it. I actually found it so cringe. There's moments when Shakespeare just happens to break out with his most famous lines or explains a story. So artsy. And the use of "On the Nature of Daylight" in a pivotal scene made me roll my eyes so much.

 

[Kasey]

Yes, Hamnet is very good. Not my favorite of the Oscar nominees, but an excellent movie.

I hope to see it today. I just hope I won’t fall asleep during the movie due to jet lag.

So……tickets for The Devil Wears Prada 2 are now on sale……and here are the popcorn handbags from Regal Cinemas, Cinemark Theatres, and AMC Theatres.

Now I’m wondering if I’m the only one who hates this……so much.

Today's movie was The Secret Agent, a Brazilian (?) film about the corruption and troubles in Brazil during the 70s. Probably an important movie, but neither my sister nor I liked it that much, and it was WAY too long. It's the only one of the best picture films I've actually disliked, with one more to go (seeing F1 on Sunday morning).

Interesting. The Secret Agent is my favorite of the 6 nominated films seen. Afterwards I couldn't tell you what it was about, but the vibe or something appealed to both DH and I.
