Rogue One: A Star Wars Tale
Kind of boring. Also, not the ending I was hoping for.

The Maltese Falcon with @EstherWeis
Haven't seen it in years, and she had never seen it. I always forget how enjoyable that film is to watch.

A very simple yet perfect review.Love that Bogie lets Mary Astor hang at the end, she very much deserved to.
Several great scenes where it's clear Bogie and Greenstreet play the game at a much higher level than Cairo and Cook.
Bogie's secretary, Iva, is the woman you marry - smart, cute and kind, all the right boxes are checked.
"The Glenn Miller Story" staring James Stewart, June Allyson and Harry Morgan
- Let's call it what it is, a Hallmark production before there was Hallmark - everything is nice and sweet and all problems are easily solved
- But it doesn't matter because the music - basically a series of pre-video videos of Miller and his band performing most of his hits - is that good, that enjoyable, that fun
- That's it, watch it for the music
We're running "Goodbye Christopher Robin," a veddy veddy British period drama dealing with Winnie-the-Pooh author A. A. Milne and his relationship with his son, the real-life Christopher Robin. A real tear-jerker in spite of itself, with the kid playing little CR looking for all the world like an escapee from a Jackie Coogan lookalike contest in 1922. Kelly Macdonald is excellent, as she is in alll the roles she's ever played, as the put-upon nanny.
The main thing that bugged me, other than being faced with the unpleasant reality that dear A. A. Milne, foundation of many childhood memories, was kind of a dink in real life, and that his wife was even worse, is the egregiously out-of-period presence on the soundtrack of a Boswell Sisters tune from 1935 and an Al Bowlly record from 1939. Most people wouldn't notice, but I live with this music every day, and one thing it does not ever say to me is "English Country House in 1927." Good tunes both, but the thirties aren't the twenties -- it's like playing a Beach Boys record in a movie set in 1954.

Road to Perdition.
I finally got around to watching Wonder Woman. OH MY GOODNESS, I LOVED IT!!!! It had feels, it had thrills, it was smash and bash awesome! Easily one of my favorite superhero movies I've ever seen.
I've never seen it. Probably, I should.
