On my to-watch list for the next week: Aftersun, Banshees of Inisherin, and Till. I'd also like to see a few other films from this week's post (Wendell & Wild, Descendant), but they're gonna have to wait.

Recent watches include:

Practical Magic: I had my husband pick from a handful of Halloween-adjacent films, and he definitely regretted picking this one, lol. I'd seen bits and pieces of it before, as my middle-school BFF was obsessed with it, but I'd never watched the whole thing. The good: Dianne Wiest & Stockard Channing playing witchy aunts, Nicole & Sandra looking super hot. The bad: Basically the rest of it, tbh, but the biggest offender for me was the music. So much music with lyrics played right over dialogue scenes... absolutely chaotic filmmaking!!! But I do love this song

which I think aforementioned BFF put on a mixtape for me at some point.

Decision to Leave: This was the only movie we got a chance to see in theaters this week. It was pretty good! Didn't quite live up to expectations based on the rapturous praise I'd heard, but I think if you didn't fully buy into [Spoiler (click to open)]the central romance/attraction/obsession between the cop and the suspect, which I didn't, that took most of the oomph out of it. Some of the shots were incredible, though! Super inventive camerawork that really makes you think about all the cool shit you can do with a camera that most directors don't ever attempt.

I'm really excited for Banshees and Ticket to Paradise, which my mom will voluntarily see because of Lucas Bravo/Emily in Paris. Banshees I'll have to see alone but I really don't care, the only person I want to see it with lives in another state that I can't feasibly drive to.
