Viewing Journal: 12/12/2021




691) WEST SIDE STORY
(2021 dir. Steven Spielberg) Date Seen: December 12 2021

Who else had Señor Spielbergo one-upping Robert Wise on their predictions for 2021? I sure as heck didn't. But here we are.. El
viejo loco really did that shit.













690) THE LAST SON
                    [OF ISAAC LEMAY]
(2021 dir. Tim Sutton) Date Seen: December 12 2021

A handsome movie to look at for sure (d.p. 
David Gallego!) - but Lordy, I felt like this was plagued with pacing issues.. Pretty great ensemble all-around though. I preferred the smaller more Tim Suttony film that Tim Sutton released this year, titled FUNNY FACE.












689) THE YEAR 
  OF THE EVERLASTING STORM
(2021 dir. lots of people) Date Seen: December 12 2021














688) NIGHTMARE ALLEY
(1947 dir. Edmund Goulding) Date Seen: December 12 2021

If we were ranking the whole of Film Noir purely in terms of thematic bleakness; Blimey! this one would be damn near the top of the whole heap.. just a pure abyss of the soul.
