Yesterday I’d seen just one of these movies, Sinners which I liked. After its win, we watched One Battle After Another, centered on members of a “terrorist” group in modern America fighting the system, but mostly in the aftermath of a series of events. I found the story to be interesting, a reflection of today’s America, with some intriguing elements, but overall it seemed to drag and I was not really drawn in
Usually, if I’m not blown away by a Best Picture, it makes me wonder what wrong with movies these days. I mean it’s all subjective isn’t it? It also seems like DeCaprio has lost his edge, or maybe that was a good job of portraying a character? It’s interesting he is prominently displayed on most of the movie posters, but I think the other actors who outshined him.
Mercy 2026 (Prime)
Crime drama with Chris Pratt as a police officer accused of killing his wife and being tried in The Mercy Court by an AI judge with 90 min to prove his innocence. Surprisingly good. I would say that 90 min is bull even if the premise of this court is that the evidence is pretty much slam dunk.
F1 (2025)- Brad Pitt is not an actor I like, i put him in the George Clooney category, a pretty face, but nothing that ever grabbed me, but I’m always ready to give most actors another chance. F1 should be an adrenaline rush, but I just was not feeling it, did not finish cause I really did not care about Sonny Hayes and I disliked the music. Ford vs Ferrari was a much better story. Yet note, this movie got high marks at Rotten Tomatoes. Maybe it’s me.
