    1. I rewatched it after the Oscar noms were announced. I still can't believe it landed 10!

  3. What did you think of Nixon in James White? I've heard she's excellent.

  4. Hi there Josh! I want to rewatch 'Madding Crowd' as I wasn't terribly wowed the first time around, though I do love Mulligan and the score. 99 Homes is excellent, definitely an A from me too. I'm curious about James White, esp about the protagonist, I forgot his name but I heard he was very good.

    1. Hi Ruth! 99 Homes is so good, and I still think Madding Crowd is a first-rate period romance, with a minor flaw in Sturridge's casting. Christopher Abbott is terrific in James White. See it if you get a chance.
