True story, when I was about 16 we were going to go to a movie as a family one weekend. My little brother who was about 11 at the time really wanted to see Cats and Dogs. Whatever, I didn't have a problem with it. A couple days before though he was busted looking at porn on the family computer (poor kid didn't know how to delete his search history) and my parents cancelled family movie night. He never wound up seeing Cats and Dogs and whenever that movie crosses my brain I always remember that as the tipping point to when my brother wasn't just a small kid anymore. Cats and Dogs was the bridge into manhood. Anyways, I have something special in store for Godzilla.
That is, depending on the quality of what he has to offer me.

1917
During World War I, Two British Corporals in France are sent on a mission to deliver a letter to the Second Battalion of the Devonshire Regiment, ordering them to call off an attack on German soldiers, whom the Battalion thinks is retreating, but in reality have set-up an ambush for the Battalion’s 1600 soldiers.
Based on stories recounted by Sam Mendez’s grandfather of his time in WWI, 1917 is both a beautiful and breathtaking war film that manages to avoid leaving you exhausted and curled up in the fetal position in the corner of the room, as most war films do. Just from the bits I had read here and there prior to watching this film, I knew that the film was meant to appear as if it was one or two continuous scenes in real time, without any cuts. I found this to be not only fascinating to witness such perfectly executed shots by the director, and choreography of the extras as the camera would pass, but also distracting, as I was constantly searching for the hidden cuts. I counted maybe 3 obvious ones and 3 maybes.
Overall, I feel this is a film that will get better with repeat viewings, once I can enjoy it without analyzing the technical aspects of it. It’s a petty critique, but I wish I hadn’t known what I knew going in. That being said, it’s a beautiful film of loyalty and dedication that I really enjoyed.
9/10

I wasn't planning on doing the next round, but I'll fill if you need an extra. I'll try not to be late this time, but no promises.

Nilade, any streaming services I should hone in on? I have peacock, hulu, Netflix, prime, HBO and anyone has access to Tubi. I'll rent for something interesting.

And FYI, I decided not to keep The Criterion Channel, in case you were going to pull any from there.

Godzilla, what apps do you have at your disposal? The ones I pay for are CBS All Access, Shudder, and BritBox (this one is useless for this, because it's just British TV). I also have Tubi and the free section of Peacock, and while I now have access to Netflix, since it's someone else's I only get to use it on certain days. But I'm very willing to rent through Amazon and Vudu. I've been steadily employed throughout this whole birdemic. Also, I want my something special.

Going through the Shudder movies I have to ask, have you watched Sleepaway Camp?
