My Week in Movies: June 13 - 19

Still living that Mass Effect life. Working through ME3 as Shepard Shepard, Earthborn Sole Survivor Infiltrator (although I never, ever use Tactical Cloak). I'm determined to unlock Synthesis (although maybe I'll pick Control, as I've literally never done that before because f**k you Illusive Man).

Movies I've seen before are in italics

To Catch a Thief (1955)
Gilda (1946)
The Sparks Brothers (2021)

I forgot how utterly middling To Catch a Thief is.

I love love love Gilda, except for the ending, which is utterly unearned. But leaving that aside, every sentence in this film has at least two meanings and just working through the layers of subtext is delicious.

I'd never heard of Sparks, but I do know Edgar Wright, so I checked out this documentary. In the end, the band seems very cool but I don't think I'd ever be into them. Quite an array of talking heads in this one.
