Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

Downton Abbey.

Dark Shadows.

Didn't suck as much as people said, but it still did suck.

Joker
Very Scorsese-like film

I watched Crazy Rich Asians, a romantic comedy, this morning. Ridiculously cliche if you ask me.

Catch Me If You Can
I like this one. It is well made Spielberg.

Queen Of Outer Space (1958)

From the same era as the likes of Plan 9 From Outer Space, but this is a better viewing experience in that it's in colour and has an intelligible plot. Features Zsa Zsa Gabor, who really impresses from a visual point of view. The film is of the 'so bad that it's good' variety, and doesn't really need the additional scripted attempts at humour to make it entertaining.

The Hoax

If you enjoy true-crime films, do take the time to watch this biopic about Clifford Irving, a man who almost pulled off one of the greatest cons of the 20th century; the con being his claim that Howard Hughes gave him the authority to edit and publish an autobiography called The Autobiography Of Howard Hughes.

^ I can't find any mention of him in the cast list.

I watched Koyaanisqatsi (1982). The film title comes from the Hopi language and roughly translates to "unbalanced life".

The movie has no dialogue, and almost no words are heard. The only words we hear are "Koyaanisqatsi" during some parts of the film (at the beginning in particular), and a few other words during the recitation (though barely audible) of some Hopi mantras. The rest of the audio is music (composed by Philip Glass)

The film doesn't have a specific story. We see shots of nature and its destruction to construct society in its place. The scenes vary from slow-motion to time-lapse, and rarely anything is shown at a normal pace. It seems to emphasize the order of nature and the artificial order of society that at a large scale is highly heterogeneous and chaotic.

Taken.
