Movies of 2020 so far

[mellicious]

Here's the movies I've seen so far this year:

1. 1917 (twice)
2. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
3. Little Women
4. Birds of Prey (twice)
5. Emma

Concerning the two we saw twice: I really liked 1917, and Rob liked it even more than I did. Conversely, Rob did not like Birds of Prey as much as I did, but I kind of dragged him to it a 2nd time, and he said he actually liked it more the second time. I think the first time he didn't know what to expect, maybe? It's definitely a weird little movie.

Rob had already seen Once Upon a Time in H'wood, months ago, and I figured I should go see that, and we should go see Little Women, too, while they were still in the theaters just before & after the Oscars. I really liked both of them. And I liked Emma, too - but then I'm a huge fan of Austen and Alcott both, so no real surprise there. (This version of Emma was incredibly beautiful and also very funny - much better than I remember the last big Hollywood version from, what, nearly 25 years ago being. That was the Gwyneth Paltrow one.)

We went to see Emma Sunday - there were only two people in the theater with us so I don't think there was much of a social distancing issue there. I wonder if the theaters will stay open, though.


And, since I ended up talking about this last year, here's what Rob went to see that I didn't (mostly horror or horror-ish things):

• The Grudge
• The Turning
• The Lodge (why do horror movies start with "the" so much?)
• The Invisible Man

I'd have to ask Rob for a more definite statement on this, but I think he liked the last two more than the first two.

(We are still working. I'll try to remember to report back on that.)
