Finally caught up and saw 'A Complete Unknown'. It felt more like a collection of performances instead of a rise and fall of fame typical bio pic. Not a bad thing, just different.
It was enjoyable. 3.5/5
Chalamet was superb as Dylan.

Nosferatu is the film that stays with you. I keep replaying images in my head. The cinematography is spectacular. The acting, the production design, & color grading are impeccable. This is top-tier filmmaking. Truly impressive Robert Eggers!

I've thought about Anora's ending a lot. It's abrupt and felt incomplete, but it's also a full-circle moment. It's a great film with more absurd humor than I was expecting, but I also wanted more from that ending, which was probably the point.

There have been over 100 adaptions in film and television of Charles Dickens' The Christmas Carol.
Scrooge or Marley's Ghost (1901) by Walter R. Booth was the very first screen adaptation.

Happy 60th Anniversary to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, which premiered on December 6th, 1964.
Here is my sister and I dressed up as Santa and Rudolph (I was Rudolph.) circa 1984?

Saw Wicked last night.
It is truly one of the best adaptations I have ever seen.
Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande were simply magical.
Johnathon Bailey has the most charisma ever!
Production Design was beautifully detailed.
Great job Director Jon Chu!
