Three Lives and Only One Death
★★★ Watched

Very patient women in his life. Seems like it took everyone a long time to figure out what was going on. At the begining I was a little lost but I caught on. Dementia or something messed with the multiple personalities and ruined the little lifelong coping mechanism involving multiple distinct lives, pretty well portrayed. The ending was just as crazy as the whole scenario, if what happened was what I think happed. I was invested in all the characters, and how they were all connected slowly becoming apparent was comforting. Nice narration as well.

Kiss the Girls
★★★½ Watched

I had a feeling that's who the bad guy was, just based on his size. Bi-coastal being such an important detail was amusing. Casanova's setup was pretty legit, he appeared to be too good just like the caller guy said. Morgan Freemans ability to locate the source of one underground shot was very important, luckily they were close by already. Ending shot in the kitchen was creative but not as satisfying as I was preparing for it to be during the build up. I did enjoy the atmosphere from the smoking indoors throughout. Well shot and paced.

Sci-fi future where the science is mostly focused on DNA. Interesting extrapolation of our current DNA forensics intermixed with our societal pension for classified hierarchy. Jude Law is such a cutie in this. Even though he is initially abrasive and pissed about his own situation, finding a friend in his double does wonders for his outlook and personality. In the end he remains a realist while Ethan Hawke remains a dreamer filling his dreams. Wonderful and balanced use of the simplistic office spaces with occasional brutalist concrete architecture. Setting really drives home the focus on cleanliness in this DNA data driven world.

Rolling Kansas
★★★★½ Liked Rewatched

Stoner flick that is true to form with a great cast playing well-suited roles. Some good laughs and drama keep the plot going. Memorable among the stoner movies I've seen.
