Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m going with the new Black and Chrome release of Fury Road.” Blaine says, “none of the titles I’ve actually seen grab my attention, but Adam Nimoy’s For the Love of Spock is definitely on my must-see list.”
My wife and I watched For the Love of Spock, and we enjoyed it. It was very personally biased, but what do you expect when it’s a movie by his son?
I’m pretty sure that’s not the 2017 version of The Magnificent Seven (; That said, wow, that movie made zero splash…
I’m wondering what would be funnier, someone expecting the 1944 Brazil accidentally watching Gilliam’s or the other way around.
That’s what I get for trying to finish this column while doing tech support for a work location 279km away via text message at the same time. The date is fixed.
As for Brazil, somebody got confused, but not quite that confused. The review describes a National Geographic special from 2012, as opposed to this musical!
Kind of like someone who wanted to see Paul Haggis’s Crash getting David Cronenberg’s instead.
