Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Take off your Tarantino hat
Whether you choose to watch this movie based on who the Director is or who the actors are, make sure you get yourself comfortable for a steady, sometimes witty, strong script for character development. If you want guns, gore, and those classic scenes which possibly drove you to think of watching this movie, look elsewhere.
However, you will not find many better films this year that tell a true account of developing a set of characters to tell a story which finally (you'll get what I mean) reaches its crescendo and boy when it does, you don't want anyone else to take you through it other than Quentin Tarantino.
Brad Pitt gave a stellar performance, Leo was good but just short of the mark of 'Leo great', and Mrs Robbie, the jury is still out on a few charges, but she offers a strong foothold in the story so just bear with that.
Joker (2019)
A movie that will get you talking, for more right reasons than wrong
A vast, outstanding but sometimes slow character development followed by 20-25 minutes of the pure 'Joker' we know and hate to love. Villains and their backstories are not particularly exhibited at the silver screen however this private look into the backstory of Arthur Fleck and the social chaos that seamlessly brews to a boiling point just as Fleck has reached his offers a great and alternate view on how villains become just that. No super plan to take over the world, no strategy, just the fortune that anarchy needs a face, JOKER is that face. A good watch that gives you plenty to talk about in the office or the bar with your fellow movie buffs.
