I JUST SAW A MOVIE I LIKED<\/h2>\n

And that doesn’t happen very often…<\/p>\n

Given that I recently did a post saying “all modern music is UTTER SHIT”, what about movies?<\/p>\n

While I do proclaim MOST modern movies are utter shit, I think are still occasional exceptions. And this is one I really enjoyed:<\/p>\n

Once Upon a Time\u2026in Hollywood<\/p>\n

The latest Quentin Tarantino movie is set in 1969 Hollywood and is about a fading actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a>) and his friend and stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt<\/a>) There are a bunch of other well known actors and over 2000 classic cars. It is really well done with exceptional acting and a real feel for the time.<\/p>\n

For a full review, check out this one one on All Movie Guide (although I disagree about the pacing criticism, and thought the pacing was really good).<\/strong><\/p>\n
