THE CRITERION COLLECTION #257
I must admit that having only a basic understanding of Watergate meant that much of this was lost on me. However, Philip Baker Hall's performance is so impressive that he kept me engaged.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 2005
This film is clunky, poorly written, and acted. Yet it's still the strongest of the prequels - which isn't saying much.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery 2022
Well, that was a lot of fun. If they keep making these, THIS will be the franchise that Daniel Craig is remembered for. Well, at least by me.

A Woman Under the Influence 1974
The Criterion Collection #253
Going into this, I had seen two other Cassavetes films that I really disliked (Shadows and Faces). Both of those films were hard to watch, and I did not care about the characters and in Faces I couldn't stand them. In A Woman Under The Influence, Cassavetes made me care about his characters, which made me want to stay engaged with it. The film is a brutal watch yet very effective. In the two other films the performances came across as some sort of acting excercise gone wrong, while in this they were amazingly real.
