Better Call Saul: Bad Choice Road (2020)
Decision
"This episode of this series teaches us that our decisions make our lives. And every time we make a decision, we have to keep going and we can't get out of the way of decisions. The future of our lives depends on our past decisions."
The Revenant (2015)
The film is such an experience...
The film is such an experience that you can almost feel the mud under your feet, sense the chill on your skin and the danger that lurks around every corner of an untamed wilderness in the 1820s. Leonardo DiCaprio delivers a barnstorming performance as the embattled Glass, whose quest for survival takes him on a Herzogian odyssey to the very borders of life and death. The insights are not especially original (the human spirit is strong!) but the execution is astounding. A masterpiece. Should take Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Cinematography this year, next year and the year after that.
The Green Mile (1999)
One of the best prison films ever made.
The Green Mile is an amazingly soulful movie that features strong acting from an incredible cast. Frank Darabont directs another prison movie with style and humanism. He rarely directs films, but when he does they are usually knockouts (including the Shawshank Redemption & The Mist). Michael Clarke Duncan gives a simply wonderful performance here that rightfully got nominated for an Oscar. The fact that he died prematurely makes this even more of a heart- wrenching story to me. Tom Hanks is his reliably likable self and the rest of the cast is made up of good character actors. I thought most of the characters in this film were memorable. It's really hard to explain to someone without giving details away, but for first-timers this film will surprise you. The 3 hour run time seems long, but this film could not have been better paced. I never found myself checking the time. This is a classic that deserves to be seen.
