Joey’s Top Picks
Cinematography: Steven Soderbergh
Contagion (4K)
steven soderberghIt’s cold infectious disease In 2011 it was downright scary, but in 2020 it has become a prophecy. There’s not much new to say about it, but it was a film that at one time was almost unwatchable because it was so familiar. Now that a little more time has passed, we can begin to understand its uncompromising perspective on the pandemic. Just added weight, but still retains its riveting appeal. If it supports 4K, it’s definitely worth the purchase.

next goal victory
taika waititiThe emotional sports comedy became a punching bag after last year’s Toronto International Film Festival. That’s a shame, because this is a fun little movie. It was erroneously reported that he was an award-winning player. next goal victory Enjoyable on its own simple merits. Back at TIFF, I said the following in my review:
next goal victory It’s a crowd pleaser and very entertaining. The problem is nothing more than that, which is fine, but it may not be what some people are expecting. It’s full of heart and humor, befitting a story like the one we’ve seen many times before. Has Waititi ever done that? No, it comes through from his sensibilities. Just don’t bring up the concept that something is not.

From the Criterion Collection: “Pictured from the headlines of the turbulent era between World War I and the Great Depression, this dynamic, nostalgic crime drama balances Tommy gun action with epic historical twists. Legends James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart follow military comrades whose fortunes rise and fall as their fortunes intersect, first in the front-line trenches of World War I and then in Manhattan’s Prohibition-era underworld. Directed by Hollywood mogul Raoul Walsh, the film is based on a novel by prolific journalist turned screenwriter and producer Mark Hellinger. The turbulent 20s It ended the famous Warner Bros. gangster cycle of the 1930s and remains one of the greatest and most influential crime films of all time. ”
