The Whale (2022) 7.5/10
Like all of Darren Aronofsky's films it is a tough/intense watch. Brendan Fraser gives his lifetime best performance. Lots of heartbreaking moments. An incredibly sad & honest watch.

I switched off after about 20 min. You need to be in the right mood to watch human suffering which highlights how good Fraser actually is.
Its also in done 4:3 aspect ratio.

I think the AR worked well for this type of film.
Ditto on the mood vibe, it is not a “switch off your brain & enjoy” kinda film.

The Goodbye Girl (1977) 7/10
Came across this via The Last of Us 106. Witty sweet romcom, tons of humour & OTT scenes. Richard Dreyfuss won a Best Actor Oscar for his performance, very deserved.

The Grifters (1990) - 8/10. Old school noir classic. Wanted to revisit after watching Sharper. Struggled to find a good copy.

Lowest grossing in the franchise yet in almost all cases it is the best animated film in a while. Go figure.

Yeah because Dreamworks treated it horribly. I would have gone to see it if it had stayed on the cinema for more than like a week. They gave it no marketing effort. I don't think they even knew how good it was.

A Man Called Otto (2022) 7.5/10
Extremely enjoyable comedy-drama. Tons of varied emotion. Tom Hanks fits the role like a glove. Cleverly crafted film, character development is on point. Tugs at the heartstrings a moerse lot. Lastly tops mark to the cute cat.
I think I need to watch the OG film.

Cape Fear (1991) - 7.5/10. DeNiro chews up the scenery (literally) in this Scorsese shocker.
I think I need to watch the OG film.
I'll wait for your review for this. I doubt I'll watch two versions of exactly the same story, and I don't have a problem with subtitles.
It's like The Intouchables (2011) - that movie is so good that I really didn't see the point of watching the American remake.

Serious Q though, do you like/enjoy Tom Hanks? If so give this '23 remake a watch as well as the OG (which I will get to at some point). Hanks just knocks out the role so well. Honestly he is my most fav/most consistent actor.
