Exactly. Starting with their adolescent heist and moving onto Nathan's honing of his skills would've been fine and then the plane stuff is a nice surprise when it finally happens
Has anyone seen the new Hunger Games movie? Is it worth going to the theater or should we just wait and stream it?
I thought the book was okay, but not as interesting as the main Hunger Games books. I'm waiting for the film to come to streaming, where I can see it 'for free'. To be fair, I wait for most movies to come to streaming. I'm still waiting to see the Barbie movie 'for free'.
If you recently read the book I would wait a bit, I felt it was too long for the amount they cut out. Really should have been two movies or a mini-series. If you haven't read the book or it was a long time ago I would say maybe see it in the theater, but I really don't think it's a must-see in theater if something else is catching your eye. I enjoyed both The Hold Overs and Priscilla, though I do understand they are vastly different categories from hunger games.
ANATOMY OF A FALL is an outstanding film; it came and went in theaters awhile back, but will likely hit streaming in the near future. The film, the 2023 Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival, explores the death of a husband/father who fell several stories from the family's remote house in the Alps. On its face ANATOMY OF A FALL is a ‘standard’ procedural - a husband/dad plummets to his death and either fell by accident or was murdered by his wife. The film is more about a fractured marriage, an unhappy man who may be jealous and resentful about his successful wife, a mom who may blame her husband for their son’s accident that caused his almost-blindness; the film is about what _is_ truth, and how can we come to the conclusion of what happens with only small pieces of the larger puzzle. It’s also broadly about the French legal system (which can be repurposed for any other legal system) that will make evidence fit a theory rather than vice versa: possibly distorting a few moments in time to fit a square peg into a round holed narrative to be sold to a jury. Or maybe it’s about a popular, prolific fiction writer who knows how to spin a good, believable yarn and fool a lot of people.Maybe we’ll have more questions than answer in the end. Just like real life.
Glad to hear you liked it, it's been on my list for a bit now. The one day I set to see it in the theater it snowed and I got lazy.
