Perfect Days (2023). A Japanese movie set in Tokyo made by a German director - so how does it pan out? The first part of the movie is interesting (it's about a guy who cleans public toilets in Tokyo), you wonder where he will go with this, but it turns out almost nowhere and parts of the movie are as if you're watching some vlog.
The character is also an old fashion guy who teaches young people to listen audio cassettes in a car, to look at branches in the park instead of looking at their phones, that you can actually read from paper (book) instead of using it just to wipe your ass - so there's that part of the movie.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Solomon Kane (2009). Pretty good. Sufficient bloodshed for a Robert E. Howard-based film.
Only real complaint is that James Purefoy’s performance wasn’t nearly fanatical enough to jibe with the source material.

I am usually not much of a movie watcher but yesterday I watched CSNY: Fifty by Four (more of a documentary) and then watched Honeysuckle Rose.
Brewer's mention of the Temptations prompted me to buy the digital version of The Big Chill that I might watch later today...it has great music.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) When you see Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, and Jim Broadbent all in the first 20 minutes of the movie, you get the impression that England is rather small.

"My Dead Friend Zoe"
Very good film about friendship, trauma, recovery, and those who never recover.
