Movies

Watched the Weird Al movie and Smile this weekend. The first half of Weird Al was brilliant, the second half was almost as good but a little drop off. I'll be watching it again for sure. It was everything you'd want from a Weird Al movie and Daniel Radcliffe is becoming one of my favorite actors. I love his role choices as an adult.

But I think I was too hyped for Smile, because while I liked it, I found myself being disappointed with several decisions they made in the film so I couldn't be fully absorbed by it. The wife really liked it though, which I thought was really strange since she's not usually that into horror.
 
I picked that for movie night one evening and my wife has never let me live down “that one time you picked the farting Harry Potter movie”

I knew absolutely nothing about it going in, other than a friend of mine declaring it his number one for that year. I definitely had some "What the fuck am I watching?!" moments - but in the best possible way!

I Like Killing Flies (2004)

This is just a bloody brilliant documentary. Kenny Shopsin was an eccentric, brash, no-holds-barred, foul-mouthed chef that was able to cook over 900 different dishes (including 200 soups) from a restaurant that was so small he basically had to pivot on the spot in order to cook at each station. A proper fly on the wall documentary that highlighted his eccentric ways (including kicking people out if they were not regulars and banning any parties larger than 4 people....for life! Despite the grimy conditions, complete lack of heath and safety, and apparent disregard for hygiene people always went there and loved the food. The fantastic actor Michael McKean was a regular and would always get the cashew cream of tomato soup.

Loved this one; haven’t seen it since around when it came out.
 
Watched Brian De Palma's Sisters. Wow this movie is so Hitchcockian - from the Rope style coverup down to the Bernard Herrmann score. I looked up if this was inspired by Hitchcock and it turns out he's a huge fan
You should check out Body Double. Not only one of De Palma’s best, but also maybe his most Hitchcockian.

I need to figure out where I can watch that. I was going to watch Dressed To Kill next. I only really knew De Palma for some of his bigger stuff like Carrie, Mission Impossible, and Scarface - but those are all very different.

On scoping his filmography, I realized he directed one of the worst movies I've seen of all time too
