What did you watch?

I've not yet seen
Marty Supreme
, but I was very impressed with
Good Time
and
Uncut Gems
, two movies Josh Safdie co-directed with his brother.
I will unfortunately have to agree with you on
Sinners
. Interesting concept, but I felt that it went on far too long.
Agree with everything you say on
Frankenstein
.
I had mixed feelings on
One Battle After Another
. I really loved Sean Penn's performance, though.

I think you'll like
Marty Supreme
. Other than going on a bit too long, I think it's really good, especially because of Timothée Chalamet's wonderful performance.
And I can agree with you about Penn's performance in
One Battle After Another
, but I still find the film to be profoundly offensive and just plain bad. I've got about 30 minutes left to finish it, but I can guarantee you that I'm not voting for it for the DGA Awards. -

Magical Mystery Tour
(1967) on January 4
Westward Ho the Wagons!
(1956) on January 5
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
(2024) on January 8
The Great Locomotive Chase
(1956) on January 10
These were all rewatches except for
The Great Locomotive Chase
. I hadn't seen the beginning of
Magical Mystery Tour
previously and I hadn't seen
Westward Ho the Wagons!
in decades. I find it disgraceful that classics such as
Westward Ho the Wagons!
and
The Great Locomotive Chase
are not to be found on Disney Plus and a person must pay to watch them elsewhere. -

The only one of these I've seen is
Magical Mystery Tour
, which I quite enjoyed back in the day.
And it's too bad you had to pay to see the others. That's incredibly frustrating, I know. But I see that
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
is on STARZ, which I have. What did you think of that one? I might give it a look, although I'm pretty overwhelmed with things to watch these days. -

I checked
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
out of the library so I didn't have to pay for it. It is a fantastic movie with only one flaw. It is a near exact copy of the book by Barbara Robinson, who died in 2013, so if her name was removed from the film it was not her doing, yet I have watched it twice now and not seen the book or the author credited. I wonder if I can possibly have missed this twice or if something else went on and if so what. Otherwise this is a perfect movie! -

And these two…
The Uninvited and The Unseen. Gail Russell stars in both. Not bad!
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Margo, I quite enjoyed
Lifeboat
and especially
The Uninvited
, which I think is rather special.
Haven't seen
The Unseen
, but I'm a fan of Gail Russell's, so I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the introduction. -

I believe that you might like it! The complete movie is on YouTube…
