3rd: Mission: Impossible – Fallout – Christopher McQuarrie
A wild movie. Watched at the Logan with Gioia. Truly, truly enjoyable. The fight scene in the bathroom stands out in particular. Honestly, this movie was 147 minutes and it didn’t feel that long. Probably the highest compliment I can give. Of course, the plot is convoluted but who really cares?
Grade: B
MI Fallout – Christopher Mcquarrie (2018)
11th: Blackkklansman – Spike Lee (2018)
Watched at the Logan with Gioia. Really enjoyed this too. I think the tone got pretty bizarre at the end. Seemed like endings to two different movies back to back. First, the failed KKK attack, then the wire to get Flanders to admit to assaulting Patrice. The real coda, the 2017 Virginia attack, was brutal and really juxtaposed a lot of the comedy and playfulness in the film.
Grade: B+
Blackkklansman – Spike Lee (2018)
23rd: Lady Snowblood – Watched at home with Gioia. I do not remember many of the specifics. My biggest takeaway was that so much more of Kill Bill was taken from this movie than I can imagine. It was great.
Grade: B+
