Finally someone remastered and fixed Chimes at Midnight!!!  I'm not a huge fan of Welles in general, and I thought Citizen Kane and Magnificent Ambersons were just good but not great.  But Chimes at Midnight is freaking awesome.  Basically Welles created a movie centered around a Shakespearean character named Falstaff, who's the 'comic relief' in a bunch of plays which are all connected, from Richard II, Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2 and Henry V.  Except Welles edits and shapes things so that Falstaff is the star of this movie. 

I'd avoided watching this in the past because the picture was sh!tty and the audio was very problematic.  Criterion remastered it this year and has worked a miracle here:

Watched Eddie the Eagle for the second time and enjoyed it just as much the second time around as the first.

I'd insert the image but I'm not figuring out how.

Neither am I but I was very impressed with The Third Man.

If you have younger children (we have 7 and 10 year old girls) and want a movie for the whole family to watch, this one was great:

Don't know if it was already mentioned, but the new Jumanji was pretty funny.  The wife and I both loved it.

Not one you have to see in the theaters by any means, but worth checking out.

It Follows is a masterwork. It takes everything I like from previous eras of film -- 80s, 90s, early 00s -- and turns it on its head.

I really enjoy all of the work of Tarantino, especially the audio visual scenes. Violent, yes, but not to be taken to serious in my humble opinion.
