Hello, hello! I’m back with the first edition of What I Logged on Letterboxd this Week. This week follows us from April 1st-April 8th. Over the week, I watched a fun variety of films and other projects. Let’s dive into it.
April 1st: Used Cars (1980): 2.5/5
Full disclosure, I did not actively choose to watch this film. I was staying with my parents this night and my dad was super excited for me to watch this with him. Let me just say, this film is extremely dated. It has unneeded female nudity and misogynistic undertones. If you’re able to look past those points, it is pretty funny. Kurt Russell was a great lead and made the film worth watching.
April 2nd: Bonnie & Clyde (1967): 4/5
Available to stream on: HBO Max or Netflix
What a film! I completely understand why it’s a classic. It has outstanding lead performances by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. I was captivated by the scenes that just had the two of them in it. Unfortunately, I didn’t love the other actors who were cast to play the rest of their “gang” — Estelle Parsons as Blanche played one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. How she won the Oscar for this role, I’ll never understand. That aside, this film is fantastic and definitely worth watching.
April 6th: Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel (2022): 4.5/5
Available to stream on: HBO Max
A stunning and highly original standup special by Jerrod Carmichael. All I will say is, please watch this.
April 8th: The Dropout (2022): 4/5
Available to stream on: Hulu
Such a great miniseries. I had low expectations going into the series, but I was completely blown away. Read more of my thoughts on this here.
All in all, this was a great week! Stay tuned to see what I watch next 🙂
