So glad to se you include "Wind River" thought it was an amazing film, not perfect, but i thought Renner was believable and Olsen too. Never forget the scene towards the end graham greene has his up in "his war/suicide paint" and basically tells Renner, 'I made it up, i don't know how to do it, there's nobody around anymore to teach us." It was both funny and poignant, and sad acknowledging that so much culture was taken from the indigenous here, and just about everywhere - Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and so on. Anyway, leaving the theater I'm thinking this one will win awards, cinematography at least. OOPS. And the Romanian film - I saw it when it came out (think that director did about 3 in a row). I found it devastatingly sad to see how bad it was for the Eastern Bloc and Russia, after the fall of the Soviet Union. Also, I loved Jessica Williams on the daily show, so look forward to seeing her get some room to move. And now that i've weighed in, you can breathe again. LOL. Thanks for these tips. Peace in.

I watched Bright Star the other day and about midway through realized I was really just waiting for Keats to die. Unimpressed.

Thanks, Ty, for this Netflix list. I love when you put out a list of good movies. I have seen a few and I will watch the remaining because of your recommendation.

In the future would you possibly print a short list of good films that are on HBOMAX and HULU? I mention those 'cause that's what I get. You could maybe do this every once in a while. But whatever you write about I really appreciate it.

Just when I feel that I'm "up" on significant movies that I wanted to see, you throw a list at us that almost shuts me out - I'm saved from going 0 for 10 by having seen Wind River and Hunt for the Wilder people. Thank you for these - keep 'em coming!
