Murder mystery is a hard thing to do and keep suspense running. KNIVES OUT was magnificent and there is alot of similiarity to a LAW AND ORDER Criminal Intent here. Rich people, murder, scandal and multiple suspects. Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman are given scene chewing roles but Grant is surprising indeed. A very fine actor shows through. Sutherland is a national treasure and fondly remember way back to Hawkeye Pierce so long ago. So binge it and see how you like it, as it is not for everyone - we all have our selective tastes. I did not like the opening but grew into it.

I found a film called INDIAN SUMMER some time ago, delightful small film about a summer camp and age and growing up. FEDORA is another triumph. This little gem reminds me of those films that ARE small discoveries. In an age of Star Wars and Spielberg and more ..... here is a quiet little story, no great budget with very good acting, drama taken to a non threatening point and the best music score heard. So many who don't like it probably think Palpatine was the god of acting. Well, sit back with a glass of wine, some bread and let this film take your artistic thoughts. It's easy to do. And it is a lot cheaper than flying to Italy.

The DC universe is soooo serious about itself and dramatic while Marvel learned that a soft shoulder and humor works wonders. We have only a few kinda sorta good films in DC but this is far from one of them. Theme still comes off of SUICIDE SQUAD which is quirky different fun but an acquired taste. Not bad. So I can survive violent fun films but here ...... wow, first 20 minutes and I walked out of the theatre. That bad. When the punishment by a villain makes one really want to upchuck the popcorn? Way bad taste. Trust me, you'll know it when you see it. So here is 20 minutes worth of bad and if you want 30, go for it.
