Zodiac

They CGI-ed hair onto Jake Gyllenhall's hands because it was too hairless and pretty - now this really is a fun fact.
One thumbs up - I still got spooked a bit, even though it is not horror.

Scent of a Woman

Disciplinary trials in front of the whole school... yeah no one is doing that any more.
Half a thumbs up - it was enjoyable although I still detest the title 'Scent of a Woman' - such a flimsy connection.

Captain Marvel

How come Jude Law is Kree but not blue? I bet it is because he is too big a star to cover his beautiful face in blue paint.
Three quarters thumbs up - it was alright but the 90s thing was a bit of a stretch.

If Beale Street Could Talk

I thought Rachel Weisz in 'The Favourite' was robbed of the Supporting Actress Oscar; granted without having seen 'Beale Street'. Now I am even more convinced she was robbed! Regina King for 15 minutes was absolutely not better than Rachel Weisz. I am so miffed!
Half a thumbs up - it was pretty and I know you are trying to make this intimate, but my god Barry Jenkins not every single shot has to be slow and lingering. What a drag.
