Mario's Musings: 1917
Sorry for the lack of reviews lately, life got a little busy with the holiday season, but I have seen some new flicks like Joker, Doctor Sleep, the Irishman, and this current flick I’m about to discuss. That said…
Mario’s Musings (Anniversary Edition): Terminator
“Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.”
That brief monologue by Kyle Reese solidified the terror that was the Terminator in the original movie by James Cameron, released on October 26th, 1984.
Mario's Musings (Philadelphia Film Festival Edition): Jojo Rabbit
I went to the Philadelphia Film Festival on Saturday to see Jojo Rabbit, directed by Taika Waititi. I love film festivals. Sure, I’m just going to see a movie, but the whole pomp and circumstance surrounding the movie is always a fun time. It’s why I love going to screenings as well, I enjoy seeing movies before the release, and there’s always an added perk on top of that like free merchandise. Plus, there seems to be a sense of community when going to screenings, like we’re all friends rather than a bunch of strangers seeing a movie together.
