Movie Monday - 3/9/2026

Let’s get to it. 

Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem star in F1, about a racer who comes out of retirement to help out a team and its rookie driver. It was action packed and very predictable. I don’t think it belongs in the Best Picture category. It was all right.

In Sentimental Value, a filmmaker, who is esstranged from his family reunites with his daughters after their mother dies. He wants his oldest daughter to star his latest movie and she’s not having it. Stella Skarsgård heads the cast of wonderful actors with whom I am not familiar. It has been nominated for Best Picture, Best International Feature Film, and many of the acting awards. It is very good.

I started watching Sinners, not knowing it was a supernatural horror film. There was an interesting scene at the beginning of the movie that seemed a little out of place but then I thought, “Oh.”  Wow, what a movie! I don’t really like horror films, and I don’t watch them much because they are mostly silly. This film has great production values, and really good acting. The story, though implausible, was also good. In recent years, horror films have been making their way onto the Best Picture list. I’m not really a fan of that. Anyway, despite it being good, I’m not too sure it deserves Best Picture. 

I’ll be back before next Monday because the Oscars are on Sunday night.


MK out.
