#5 - The Brutalist (2024)
Saw this in theaters two weeks ago. I hope this movie stands the test of time. What it states about America being true then is true now. Probably Guy Pearce's best performance as the dark embodiment of the top 1%.

Went out and saw this. Has some fun moments but I'll probably forget most of it quickly like I did the other two. For me watching Jim Carrey ham it up is far and away the most it has going for it.
Impossible to predict what you'll get out of a Studio Ghibli movie. Watched the dub and had to confirm many times that was in fact Robert Pattinson. Unrecognizable. Not in my top Ghibli, but that's like saying this Michelin Star dish is not as tasty as the others.
One of those movies that I felt I had seen purely through osmosis over 30 years. Recognizing some scenes immediately through their parodies. Pointing at the screen "Chief Wiggum!" when I see Ving Rhames in the crosswalk. Even with all that I was still surprised and amazed.
Discovered this purely through the RLM video about it. Very interesting focus on community and faith. The faith being a borderline addiction maybe? Definitely a hidden gem.
