batnbreakfast: The works of the late Satoshi Kon, like Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers, Paprika and my personal favorite, Millennium Actress are also very good.
Avatar: Here's to the late, great Steve Dillon. Best. Punisher. Artist. EVER!
I Saw The Devil. Damned brutal movie...with a very hollow feeling ending. Loved it.

Mary Poppins Returns: I only saw it because I like Emily Blunt. While she was fine. I just found the film a chore and boring.
The Favourite: Awesome film, while billed as comedy. It is a psychological drama about the nature of relationships and how quickly they can change. Rachel Weisz in the role of Sarah Churchill was awesome. It was like watching the historical inspiration for Emma Frost or Medusa. She actually (unofficially) ran England.
Mary Queen of Scots: Interesting film, beautifully shot. Some of it was overwrought but I found it inspiring how both the protagonists took their duty to serve their people. Soirsa Ronan was incredible.
I'm not sure this counts, technically it's a TV adaptation, but it's three hours and I watched it as a movie :P
I just finished Fingersmith, having read the book last week. It was good, but I shouldn't have watched it so soon after reading the novel!

I just watched "Solo" on Netflix, the first time I've seen it and I really don't get all the negativity.
I'm not saying it's the greatest movie ever made or the greatest Star Wars movie but it's not the worst either.
On it's own merits, it was quite good.
I can see criticisms that Han Solo was too much of a good guy from the start but that can be explained by a hard life as a smuggler before we see him in the original Star Wars movie. I can see that people want things to move forward.
I liked that things weren't black and white. There were nuances. People had reasons for who they were.
There were certainly scenes derivative of the original trilogy but that was okay.
Maybe it was the time the movie was released and what the competition was. Timing can and often is the difference between overwhelming success and a flop.
Even if the movie had been otherwise abysmal (which it was not), I would give it credit just for Han shooting the guy, a clear statement that they were not going to make arguably Lucas's biggest mistake. They were making it absolutely clear that Han shot first.
Power with Girl is better.
Rewatched UNBREAKABLE and SPLIT, back to back, yesterday. Then went to see GLASS today.
It was rewarding to have the other movies fresh in my mind as I watched GLASS. And I was quite satisfied with the entire experience.
Can't really give any spoilers, but I will say I'm glad that they got Spencer Treat Clark to return to the role of David Dunn's son, Joseph. Some movies would have a different actor play the grown up role, but it was important to have the same eyes staring out from the screen.
One thing I noticed with all these movies, is that M. Night likes to turn the camera upside down or sideways to show the world from the view of individual characters. And I was wondering if there's some deeper message represented by the world being turned on its head.
