I like movies and music in probably like a 65/35 split. I like food of all kinds but have no desire to learn how to cook.

Nine to Five 1980

1h 50m Comedy Rated 3.0 out of 5

I'm pretty sure I've never seen this all the way through in one sitting and that I'd only seen parts of it randomly here and there. This movie is much sillier than I thought it was, but not always in the best of ways.

Anyway, a decent time was still had and I'm glad those gals were able to bond and, together, mostly overcome all the horrors and setbacks of their workplace.

Also, that Dolly song is undeniable.

Lastly, in this movie, someone says of someone else that they are "a wart on the nose of humanity." In Steel Magnolias (1989), someone says of someone else that they are "a boil on the butt of humanity." Odd that that sort of phrase should be in two of Dolly's films.

Primetime 2026

1h 50m Drama Rated 4.0 out of 5

So many seriously great (over-the-top?) performances are on display in this fantastical, fictionalized story of mostly real events, and it's also a sorta meta-commentary about the predatory nature of, perhaps, everyone and everything in "the industry" (not just the predators they were-a catching).

It won't be for everyone, especially if you're someone who's looking for something more grounded, but it was certainly for me.

November 2017

1h 55m Drama Rated 5.0 out of 5

A stunning, folkloric fairytale of a film from Estonia that is equal parts heart-filling and heart-breaking. There's a fair amount of humor sprinkled throughout this sad tale of loves unrequited and lost, and who doesn't love a witch and a werewolf, plagues and the devil, ghosts and anthropomorphic farm tools?

I loved this movie and can't wait to watch it again, and soon.
