Ty,
Just this week we watched "Parasite" - a movie you reviewed. I never would have watched it if you hadn't given it a decent review. You are tweaking my viewing ever so slightly and I just wanted to thank you for opening things up for me. Not everything you recommend looks like I'd like to put myself through it, but surely all of it gives me a different take. Thanks so much. I totally enjoy your reviews and comments.
Have a great New Year, bring on the popcorn...
Best,
Pippa Ryan
Ty,
Thanks for your writing and reviews in 2022. Your writing style is sublime. I truly look forward to finding them in my inbox.
Are you going to Sundance this month ? I want to mention a new film kicking off the Midnight category this year titled Birth/Rebirth. Written and directed by Laura Moss along with co-writerBrendan O’Brien it features Marin Ireland and Judy Reyes. It’s a little gem. Hope you catch it.
A happy and healthy New Year to you and yours.
Dan OBrien
