Movie You're Watching Tonight

I did. I hadn't known much about the film going into it, only that it was by the same director of In the Loop which I thought was great when I saw it back in 2009 (witty, biting humor, political satire, etc). Anyway, this new movie of Armando Iannucci was a little darker than I expected, as it didn't shy away from the grimness of the time period with the constant arrests and random killings as dictated by Stalin, but since it takes a more lighthearted approach there were a lot of laughs from the audience members at the showing I witnessed. I also thought it was funny at times.
My rating would be ★★★★ (out of 5).

The Shape of Water (2017)

Finally

I found Home by Yann Arthus-Bertrand to be an extraordinary film. Photographing the planet from above, he created a visual hymn to its poetry, and a commentary on the impact of human activity.

so I will next be watching;


Planet Ocean - 2012
Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Michael Pitiot

In the cinema:

Ready Player One (2018)

Before We Vanish (2017)

Didn't have seen this yet, but it's Kiyoshi Kurosawa, I need to watch! Looking forward to you to thoughts.

The Human Condition iii ( A Soldiers Prayer) (1961)
