  • I echo a lot of what has been said about CR's drawbacks. Much of it is the production design, as it looks quite dated. The embassy scenes are particularly bad. Everyone harps on the "Ford ad" so no need to go further on that. And Campbell's work in …
  • Damn good movie. I now have a deeper love and respect for Naomie Harris.

  • Saw Cruella this past weekend. Good movie. More importantly: packed house. I think we're on our way back (fingers crossed)! We're a little over 3 1/2 months away! I am starting to get excited again.
