In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)

Movie #1,047 • TWO FOR TUESDAY

Happy 4th of July! In honor of the holiday, I bring you a double feature of mostly subpar American movies that both begin with the words "In the..." Why?" HAHAHA. You ask WHY?

Without getting too into the weeds here re whether or not all the time travel rules totally make sense, I will say that I appreciated that this movie did its best as far as making the plot mostly make sense (even the racial protest segment — which seemed so obnoxiously shoehorned in for no reason at the time — ends up playing into the bigger narrative). Although, the Civil War analogy suggesting that the Civil War was unnecessary (?!) in a film that needlessly played with contemporary racial politics is a wild position! So, yeah, it doesn't totally come together to say the least, but they tried.

But this is mostly just an instantly forgettable piece of sci-fi Netflix slop that I don't really recommend. One thing I kept coming back to was how strange and awful all the Philly accents were in this. Poor Michael C. Hall, he was really struggling lol...

He did redeem himself with that "Okay" a little bit though — Hey, at least he was trying, which you can't say for the rest of the cast. What I'm trying to say is that kudos to Mare of Eastown, maybe? Kudos is probably the wrong word.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️¼

It’s another Tuesday. Not quite as bad as Monday but still pretty far from Friday. But it’s a reason for your ears to celebrate because it’s another week where I take two albums that have nothing to do with each other and feature them. This week we have

“Spirituals” by Santigold

and

“Reverse” from X Alfonso

El Planeta (2021)

Movie #1,037 • TWO FOR TUESDAY

This is billed as an "absurdist comedy" but I didn't get that at all. Hardly a whiff of humor, honestly. But I still really liked it. Writer-director Amalia Ulman also stars alongside her IRL mother in this drenched-in-malaise black-and-white slow burn that clocks in at under 80 minutes. Interesting ending involving Martin Scorsese switches to color. I thought this took place in Italy when it began (because I'm dumb) but it's Spain.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ¼
