Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO (1960) is on Netflix if you'd like to celebrate Anthony Perkins's birthday.
And this time they have a restored 1.85 transfer. Last time it was a fuzzy 1.37 open matte that looked like it was from an '80s VHS.
THE TEACHER'S LOUNGE (2023, D. Ilker Çatac) is one long workplace anxiety attack. It starts as a mystery-- someone stealing the coffee money from the teacher's lounge-- and escalates into a study of prejudice, false accusations, and institutional fecklessness. #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon #Germany #monly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pXmbm71egM
I am planning to watch Moana 2 this weekend - probably tomorrow if it’s as rainy as it is predicted to be that day - and may be live tweeting it.
If you’ve seen it, let’s talk about it this weekend!

#EatPrayLove (2010)
Liz Gilbert tells her girlfriend not to feel guilt eating pizza, we can buy bigger jeans tomorrow.
Time for the 1948 thread!
This is my fifth Hitchcock and he still hasn't missed for me. He builds up the tension so well with the cocksure Brandon and the nervousness of Philip. Great script and for its time, the shooting was perfect.
COLD WAR (2013, D. Pawel Pawlikowski) is a romance set behind the Iron Curtain in the 1950s, a tragic love story about a young Polish folk music performer and a composer. The cinematography is sublime and the art direction recreates the era precisely. #poland #coldwar #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon #monly

First time I watched 'Flow' was at the cinema, but upon second viewing I can now confirm that the internet was right about the effect that the film has on cats. Can also confirm that it remains a masterclass in visual storytelling, and a beautiful and tender tale about survival and found family that evokes thoughts and emotions without the use of any dialogue.
Such an incredible achievement by a small team, all done with open source software. People keep repeating how impressive it is that it was created in Blender for good reason, because it is legitimately one of the most stunning animated films that have been released in the recent years. 100% worth every bit of praise it has received.
#Watching BLACK BAG
Once you go Black Bag...
The double and triple and even quintuple crossing story is pretty standard spy stuff, but Soderbergh handles everything with so much breezy style you don't care you've seen most of it all before.

Madaniya
2024
Mohamed Subahi begleitet in „Madaniya“ mehrere Sudanes:innen verschiedenen Alters, die sich auf die eine oder andere Art am Protest beteiligen. Mit Gewalt und Repressionen wird nicht gespart, doch ist der Grundtenor der Dokumentation erstaunlich optimistisch und lebensbejahend.
I just need to say, I LOVE how 'comic-booky' this looks. Movies don't always have to be brimming with 'realism' to be entertaining. This scene looks like it's right off the page.
#ItsAlive (1974)
The Davises are expecting a baby, which turns out to be a monster with a nasty habit of killing people whenever it is scared. And it is easily scared.

I cannot know for sure how good the upcoming 'Superman' will be, or how it will compare to the legacy of the Donner / Reeve films, but I both respect and appreciate how heavily into Krypto the Superdog the marketing has been leaning.
I also don't think I've ever related more to Superman in my life, because having an overenthusiastic dog, completely oblivious to its own weight, playfully jump and land full force on your back while you're lying face down, is definitely an experience. Admitting to some extreme personal bias, I love how they gave Krypto this happy chaotic goblin energy, he is still the goodest boy.

T̶o̶m̶o̶r̶r̶o̶w̶ T̶o̶d̶a̶y̶ In 30 minutes it's #Comedon day, and we'll be watching Preston Sturges's 1941 satire Sullivan's Travels.
As previously described in the paper handouts you received at orientation (you did attend orientation, right?) last week's film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, took its title from the Sturges movie.
Sturges was the first Hollywood screenwriter to successfully transition to directing and the first person to get the "written and directed by" credit. His screwball comedies are legendary and every single one of them skewers social and class assumptions of their day.
CW: It's from 1941 so odds of some outdated views or language are good.
The watch party starts Thursday April 3 at 6:00 PM PT.
