Logging

Film: Paddington 2

Showed for kid's movie sleepover. A hit for 3 of the 4. One of my preferred kid movies of recent years.

Film: Caliber 9

On the other end of the spectrum, an Italian crime flick from the Criterion channel series. Feels like a movie I would've seen at the New Beverly years ago, pre-family. Of those kind of films, I'd elevate this one for two reasons: concept and the end. I've spend most of my day running the final scene over in my head, "You don't kill a man like Uzo Piazza! You tip your hat!" And those Italians do scores well, don't they? Part of me started fantasizing about directing a film with the style and attitude of Italian filmmakers at the time with non-sync sound.
