My Week in Movies: December 20 - 26
Dec. 27th, 2020 02:11 pmWorking through some Christmas-y movies with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sol_se for the most part.
Movies I've seen before are in italics.
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek Deep Space 9 (2019)
MST3K: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
A Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Bell Book and Candle (1958)
The Howling (1981)
WW84 (2020)
I cried like a baby at the end of IaWL once again. Never fails.
The DS9 doc was weird, but ultimately enjoyable. I thought it was a little odd that it was put together by the show runner, though.
I stand by my assertion that A Muppet Christmas Carol is a top-tier Dickens adaptation and Michael Caine is one of the best Scrooges.
Bell Book and Candle starts on Christmas Eve, so it counts. It's that other film about Jimmy Stewart's obsessive love for Kim Novak.
sol_se bought me The Howling on Blu-ray for Christmas (as well as the special edition of Curse of Frankenstein) because she loves me and wants me to be happy. Still a great movie. Very formative for teenage me.
I think I liked WW84? They spent more time on the emotional beats for Maxwell Lord than they did for Diana, which is an odd choice. There's nothing to approach the battlefield scene in the first one. I think this is probably one that's going to get worse in my mind as time goes on, but for the 2.5 hours it was playing, it kept my attention.
