M: Uncut Gems

I was supposed to watch the advanced screening of this movie at a local theater last Christmas Eve but decided against it at the last minute. Then the other night, I saw it on Netflix’s Top 10 in the U.S Today list. Critics says that it was Adam Sandler’s best performance as an actor to date. Whether I agree or disagree with their views, I don’t really know but this I can say, it was a welcome change to see a different Adam Sandler, away from the usual goofy stuff and same stale plots that usually characterize his films.  And Kevin Garnett’s acting in the film is worthy of a chuckle by itself. 

M: American Graffiti

I have seen American Graffiti in three different decades--first in the late 1980s on Betamax; on VCD in the late '90s and just recently a few weeks ago on cable TV. Nowadays I'm amused seeing a very young Richard Dreyfuss and Harrison Ford and how their physical features have changed or not changed through the years since.
