Good movie. The stained glass knight is still very cool; I've read that it's the first CGI character in cinematic history. Obviously not as refined as today's CGI, but every bit as effective, IMO.

Definitely.
Certainly better than a lot of the CGI that George Lucas aded when he redid the original Star Wars Trilogy.![]()

was criminal.I've wondered if the original holds up. I've aged out of that kind of humor, but in my mid-20s, I loved it.We watched "Clerks" this weekend. One of our son's friends is a big Kevin Smith fan, so he was up for it. It had been a while since I'd seen it, so I had some big laughs.
But is it violent?Gangs of London on Netflix. Gritty, violent, gory, and violent. Did I mention violent?
However, it's a very good story, and well acted. Violent, though.
Kind of like Peckenpah, meets Richie, meets Tarantino, meets Bousman, and they all have some tea together, and talk about how violent Gangs of London is.But is it violent?

It’s pretty dang violent.Kind of like Peckenpah, meets Richie, meets Tarantino, meets Bousman, and they all have some tea together, and talk about how violent Gangs of London is.
Julianne was excellent in Mare of Easttown with Kate Winslett.Checking out Paradise. It’s dumb, but Julianne Nichols is absolutely stellar as always. First saw her in The Outsider and she knocked my socks off.
I watched this one on Shudder. Agreed, it was good, and an interesting spin on the zombie concept.MadS on Apple TV. A French fast paced zombie/virus horror movie SHOT IN ONE TAKE, clocks in at 1:26. Yes, SHOT IN ONE TAKE. That alone is just crazy but it's actually a great flick; it's unique and doesn't fall into some of the usual trappings. And what a poster:

If you like "one take" movies, I highly recommend this one. One of the best I've seen.
Cinevault classic movies….yeah, rife with annoying commercials, but the commercial are less repetitive than the screen plays coming out of Hollywood these days.Alpha Dog, at the moment. I think they just added it to Netflix. Good movie. Justin Timberlake is a good actor. RIP Anton Yelchin.
Started this a couple days ago. Very well done. Great writing and casting.Just finished season one of The Diplomat on Netflix.
One of the best written, most interesting series I've ever seen! Can't wait for season two. Honest, it's pretty riveting TV.
