Past Lives (2023)
Elite movie watching
I caught myself several times thinking this is really well done movie. The story line is original too.
If you are looking for an under 2 hour movie (105 minutes) - this movie is worth the watch. It's hard to pull together a story in under 2 hours where you feel like you really get to know the characters. This movie pulls that off quite nicely. The character development is next level and done in a very subtle, tidy way.
Also another big plus is that the ending is so well done that it doesn't leave you feeling like you were shortchanged. The physical acting and body language is so subtle but yet so important in this film.
The Last of Us (2023)
Elite Viewing !!!
Watch first three episodes. Pilot and first episode were excellent. Third episode blew me away. Not a big fan of video games, know nothing about the game this series was loosely based on. Doesn't matter. I've only seen what is available to date -which is three episodes. Third episode is what is great about these HBO series - an open canvas to go in directions that you would never have envisioned vs traditional 2 hour movies that could never be as indulgent and can't spend the time to deviate from the main story line.
Watched with my wife and she agreed. Downloading the music from the artist that played at the end of the third episode. Nailed it. First ever IMDB review. Hoping the future episodes can keep up - bar set high now for rest of season.
