Next up I had Twelve O'Clock High in mind. That or one of my library pickups, such as Batman Under the Red Hood, Quiz Show, Afire, Topaz, or Torn Curtain.

Everyone looks the same these days. They look much faker on the screen than in real life, that’s what’s so crazy. Felt the same about Demi Moore.
The wife herself seems to behave very strangely. What a ridiculous film.

I'm watching Dead Zone today. It might be a rewatch although I remember nothing of the movie. I remember the book okay, which the book is quite good. I started the movie and I think a package just got here and I need to check so I paused the movie.
The traffic collision is really tame. I expected more from Cronenberg. Oh well. We'll see how it goes. I've only just started it.
I'm exactly an hour into Dead Zone. I won't finish it yet since I have a thing in fewer minutes than the amount remaining so I'll get to it later. It's a good movie although some of it is written poorly. "I need something the killer touched." Oh like those cigarette butts two feet from you? "His patrol car is out front." The other officer said he stole yours though... Then he kills himself with scissors in the mouth except the two ends went into his gums and nowhere, so how did he die and with that much blood?
Hm Christopher Walken once said his only movie kiss was Burton's Sleepy Hollow, and yet he is wrong; it was at least his third film with one. He kissed Meryl Streep in Deer Hunter, and his love interest in Dead Zone. Actually you could say fourth for Sleepy Hollow, although I'm not sure how much he kissed Cat Woman in Batman Returns when she electrocuted the two of them and fried him.

Mostly really excited for this. Been looking forward to it for a while.
A tad annoyed that a headline spoilt the plot for me, and equally annoyed that it’s apparently part-comedy, but still, should be interesting.
Okay, so far, I’m somewhat disappointed… On philosophical grounds, as it were. It’s definitely an unusual film, but I’m so fed up with the negativity about motherhood in contemporary stuff. I want to see a deliriously happy mother protagonist, like a Colgate commercial.
Anyway, I quite literally cried all the way through this film (which some outlets call a comedy?!) from sheer frustration and sadness, so I guess my judgment is compromised. I’ve got to give it to this one, it’s a much more well-rounded take than Tully, and even the conclusion is optimistic, but I still feel the very decision to portray motherhood like this is, as they say, a political statement in itself, and I emphatically dislike it. So that’s that. I tend to see these films
gratuitous in the same way that people call Eli Roth and torture porn gratuitous. I suppose here the ‘misery’ of motherhood is the entire purpose of the thing being made, but I take massive issue with that on a personal level. Lucy Denver wrote a review in The Telegraph that pretty much echoed my thoughts. Granted, ‘happy’ instances of anything are harder to make interesting and have less inherent ‘tension’, but to me it would be far more compelling to see perhaps a young(er) mother revelling in motherhood and her baby — not because this is rare, but because the film industry seems compelled to ignore such instances.
Amy Adams is always amazing, though, and boy, does she have incredible hair.

I watched this over the weekend - it's an interesting movie, for sure.
