Finally saw Knives Out.
It was competent, but fluff. It was fun. I'm not disparaging it. But I spent more time reassembling the pastiche of other movies, novels, and network drama episodes it sampled to cobble together the narrative than being bowled over by anything approached Best of Decade. I can't place it, but I have a distinct memory of it. The central conceit of why, . . . OK let me be circumspect and oblique here to avoid spoilers. . . . The central narrative conceit that made the blackmail evidence actually completely exculpatory, with the help of a little bit of extrapolation, was directly lifted from an existing narrative. OK< at this point I can't get any more detailed without spoiling, but I'll try to minimize even behind the spoiler tag. . .
Spoiler!
So clear to me, that I can't get past the mental way station that it must have happened in a Law and Order episode, but it probably happened in something else. Thing is I remember the exposition regarding it being nearly identical. So now, even after it's over, I'm thinking more about where I've seen that narrative before than the movie itself.

I'll also mention The Hurt Locker, forgot it came out in 2010. Needs to be on the list.

I haven't seen one mention of rotten tomatoes greatest movie of all time (and not even close) and it came out in the 2010's.
I liked Drive and I liked Insterstellar and I liked John Wick (only seen the first one). That's all I can even think of from this decade that's worth mentioning. |

I remember watching Drive randomly and really enjoying it but can’t, for the life of me, remember shit about the plot.
Speaking of being pleasantly surprised, Nighrcrawler with Gylenhal was a similar experience. Really good movie out of nowhere. |
