The Dig was good. Excellent acting by Ralph Fiennes. 

Nomadland was decent. Kind of a documentary style movie. You can't go wrong with Frances McDormand. Bit of a downer, but interesting.

Frances McDormand is a fantastic actress. I love just about everything she’s been in.

Watched There Will Be Blood today for the first time. I can definitely see why No Country For Old Men won best picture while Daniel Day Lewis won best actor. 

I can’t say I’ll want to watch it again anytime soon, unless I just want to see an awesome exhibition of acting. Paul Dano did a great job as well, but I’ve always liked him.

Totally agreed about TWBB. I thought it was a phenomenal film, but that was a loaded category that year. But it was phenomenal primarily because of the acting and cinematography. And I've tried a couple times to rewatch it but it is grim and a bit of a slog. 

As for NCFOM, it was indeed a better movie. And tying the Coen Bros back to Fran McDormand, I finally saw Blood Simple recently and it is fantastic and she is fantastic in it. Highly, highly recommend if you haven't seen it.

Have you been watching The Expanse

Love The Expanse. Strathairn is awesome in that. Funny we saw an episode of that right after seeing him in A League of Their Own.

No guess I need to check it out

For a lot of reasons, yes. But David Straithairn is one such reason. It's on Amazon.

Me and my partner are now watching the Snowpiercer. Jennifer Lynn Connelly's acting is phenomenal. I'm literally watching "Snowpiercer" just to see her. She's divine. In my opinion, the plot is just great.

That was really impressive. 

Agreed.  That's a helluva drone operator.

Agreed. I started watching because of her and my love for trains.  Lol

Some will not be interested in this movie due to the type of music but I highly recommend watching. It gives great behind the scenes of the 60's music. Its not very well known but if you have time go for it.

Appreciation post for Renee Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair. Holy smokes.

But really, just one of those movies that is perfect to stumble across on a lazy afternoon.

Is the original good?

Yes the original is very good.   Any movie with Steve McQueen in it is good!

I cannot detect any lies in this post! 

Renee Russo was very hot in the 1999 version and Faye Dunnaway was smoking in the 1968 version.

So THAT's why she has that cameo in the remake. 

Definitely going to watch the original now when I get a chance.
