Which films did you see last week? (08.29.2021 - 09.04.2021)

Raging Bull - 5 out of 5. At the risk of sounding pretentious, it really does elevate the medium in its greatest moments. A directorial tour-de-force.

Goodfellas - 4.5 out of 5. Never lacking for energy throughout, in particular Henry’s day leading up to his arrest.

Casino - 4.5 out of 5. Yes, it can feel derivative of past glories but remains throughly compelling. Martin Scorsese at his most operatic and unforgiving.

Jungle Cruise - 3 out of 5. Can only expect so much from a movie based on a theme park ride. Some decent chemistry between the two leads. Unfortunately, the movie feels awfully derivative of another Disney series based on a theme park ride - ancient curses, all important ancient artifact, convoluted backstory, etc..
