Thanks for doing these @kiyonemakibi
Iām looking forward to old Manky Mank this month, and would add Farewell Amor and The Woman Who Ran to your list, both coming to Mubi.
Thereās been some great new films at home in October, my highlights include Love Child, About Endlessness, Collective, Fireball, the first three Small Axe (Lovers Rock my highlight), Overseas and Happiest Season x

Really do want to see WW1984, but thereās not a cinema open within about 150 miles of me.

Yeah, although I feel it can never live up to how great that trailer was worked into the Blue Monday thing.
I have a little pile of ātrailer was better than the filmā and Iām afraid this will probably land on it.

Typically I forgot the two big Netflix releases this month - Mank on 4th December and Ma Raineyās Black Bottom on 18th December. And One Night in Miami might be out in some cinemas from 26th December ahead of the Amazon Prime release in January
Still no sign on new release dates for Supernova and Another Round 
Happiest Season
Big let down this. Mackenzie Davis plays a shitty girlfriend with no clear redeeming features. Dump her Kristen! Curious to know if Dan Levy can play anything other than himself, though he is good at that. Wish the whole film was just the Aubrey Plaza parts. 5/10
While Weāre Young
Perfectly enjoyable scene to scene but not really that interested in a male filmmaker writing a film about male filmmakers. Naomi Watts and Amanda Seyfried underserved. Weird diversion in to the authenticity of documentary filmmaking too. 6/10.

Yeah, pretty much agreed on Happiest Season, shares a lot of DNA with Meet the Parents but nowhere near as funny. I thought While Weāre Young was decent (and it has a funny trademark āAdam Driver flips outā moment) but it gets a bit āold man yells at cloudā by the end.
Yeah the biggest issue far and away with Happiest Season was that it simply wasnāt funny. Just loads and loads of rote comedy scenarios, and a really cliche comedy score too that let you know hijinks were happening. The mall cop scene with Timothy Simons and Lauren Lapkus was the funniest part to me, and it felt like it was lifted from another film entirelty.

London in Tier 2 so cinemas can open, but doesnāt look like anything is programmed at any of the Odeons. Has there been any sort of announcement about them not opening that Iāve missed?
Wouldnāt mind if they stopped making films now really. Thereās enough of a backlog out there
