I should add the upcoming Nosferatu remake to the list, as I already have a ticket to go see it on Christmas night.
I Saw the TV Glow looked interesting, but at the same time it looked like it wasn't going to be very good. Was it worth seeing? The Wild Robot would have been a good one to take the boys to see, but for whatever reason we didn't go. I've got tickets to take them to see Home Alone later this month, sandwiched in between solo trips to see the 1974 Black Christmas and The Thin Man.
I genuinely enjoyed Megalopolis, and found it to be a staggering spectacle of a film. It captures the zeitgeist of the modern day better than any other recent film, and though it falls apart a bit at the end, it's ambitiousness allows it to become something special. My favorite era of film is the 1930s, and elements of Megalopolis (and not just the fabulous art deco) harken back to that era, especially some of the dialogue. In parts it is hilarious, in others strange, but never too strange. Surprisingly, Shia LaBeouf, an actor I've never enjoyed watching, steals the show at times. You knew it was dead on arrival simply because audiences don't appreciate that sort of film, but I'm glad Coppola took it upon himself to make it happen. It remains to be seen if it will slowly become a cult classic, or fade into obscurity, but I'll certainly watch it again at some future time.
