Dunkirk: technically very impressive but it felt like watching people helplessly die for two hours, not exactly my idea of a good time

So after watching part one for the first time on the weekend and part 2 in cinemas last night my attitude has gone from "utter folly to even attempt, this is inherently unfilmable" to "need to watch it a bunch but Villeneuve's Dune is a contender for greatest science fiction film of all time".

It's certainly one of the most visually gorgeous films I've ever watched.

Yeah it owns, especially as a theater experience holy poo poo

Mean Streets (1973): this movie is so overwhelmingly *authentic* feeling. Like not a single person in this movie appears to be acting, especially De Niro who even at this age is just obviously a star. He is amazing in every single scene he's in, just incredible presence. Subtitles on, the accents are incredibly thick. There's sort of a sense of floating from vignette to vignette in the movie, the narrative is not exactly straightforward, but it really works with the way the movie follows Keitel around NYC. It's got a good balance of hilarious scenes and heavy drama too. Feels like a movie most people should watch at least once.
