MARCH:
- Frankenstein (2025) – nominated for 9 Oscars 2026! – I liked it…only a few ‘gory’ scenes! – very good…but not super!

- It Was Just an Accident – (2025) – I simply do not understand how this film got Palme D’Or and Oscar nomination… huge disappointment.
- One Battle After Another (2025) DiCaprio, best actor? I hope not! Movie was TOO long…and I did not see the ‘masterpiece’ qualities at all!
- Train Dreams – …just the kind of film we need for these troubling times…a beautiful film. Oscar for Cinematography? = EXCELLENT

I think I liked A Real Pain but didn’t love it, as I had hoped to.
Funny, many very popular series often disappoint me….they just fizzle out in the second season. I’d prefer mini-series (4- episodes). The best “mini” series last year was “The Fall of the House of Usher” . I watched for RIPXX. With your “walking dead/zombies” watching experience…you’d probably think it very tame but I sat on the edge of my seat!
