"The Talented Mr. Ripley". Hadn't seen it before. Very well made, though definitely not cheerful.
I watched Renfield on Amazon Prime video last night. Although I’m more of a werewolf than a vampire fancier, I’ve always found the character of Renfield interesting as Dracula’s servant, and looked forward to seeing him fleshed out. The film disappointed, however, as it was mounted as a horror comedy, and you can’t be truly horrific and comic at the same time. While Nicolas Cage looked the part of Dracula, he never rose to the dark majesty of the character, and Renfield was updated in modern times as a member of a group therapy community seeking escape from a toxic relationship!
So this was a good concept ruined by muddled writing, and a confused sense of what the movie really wanted to be. While Renfield had its moments and was entertaining, it ultimately drove me batty…

Did you see Midnight Mass? Fabulous performance by Hamish Linklater. Great fun.
As a matter of fact I just rewatch it and picked up new things this time around. I think it's probably my favorite of his.

Oh, me too...although we're only up to episode three of Usher, so we'll see where that fits.

"Old Dads" on Netflix. Exaggeratedly politically incorrect, and quite hilarious if you happen to like Bill Burr, which I do.

Actually the last movie I watched was Barbie which was hilarious, subversive and adorable. Before that was Oppenheimer in an actual theater- I find Nolan's habit of mixing the music up so high it obscures the dialogue increasingly annoying as my hearing ages... I'm a fan, but come on, Chris, I want to hear what your actors are saying!
Brilliant, loved it!

The movie was just okay; he was the best part of it and such a pleasure to watch in just about anything.

We just finished watching Vincent Price in "House of Wax". 1953 version, I think.

Just this afternoon I watched a great movie on Amazon Prime starring Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones. A very fulfilling court battle based on a true story.
I don't believe I've seen that. I'll look out for it

Oooh.... I remember seeing that movie on a date back in the mid-1970s. Went to Grauman's Chinese Theater for the showing. VP was an actor in a class all his own.

Classic comedy, but it made people realize where the economic divide began to widen in earnest leaving small towns devastated. Soon after came NAFTA and other scams to wipe out larger working communities.
