Becoming Led Zeppelin - wish it had been in IMAX like it was supposed to be, but really great stuff. Includes newly discovered audio from an old John Bonham interview, spliced with current day interviews with Paige, Plant, and Jones. Only covers from the band forming through 1970, and Zep I and II. Quite a bit of live show footage. One of the key bits was that Jones and Paige were established bigtime studio musicians, both musically and experiences. Really helps them be their own band without much interference from outside forces.

The thing that stood out to me was that it was clearly a celebration of how great they really were. My wife noted the same. She appreciated the upbeat tone. If you're a fan, I highly recommend it.

His suggestion was French with subtitles. That's my suggestion as well.

This is correct. I am sure the dubbed versions is fine especially if you do not like reading subtitles like my wife. I do not like dubbed because I just find that the dubbed voices do not always capture the correct tone and expression the scene is putting out.

Agreed, and sometimes it's pretty obvious they get B or C grade actors to do the dubbing. That can take me right out of the experience.

Companion, starring Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets) & Jack Quaid (The Boys).

Not bad! The twist comes early, and I saw it coming, but it's not about that. A, breezy, interesting spin on a common SciFi trope.

Definitely want to see this.

The World's Fastest Indian. Wanted to see this for years, never pulled the trigger. Based on a true story of Burt Munroe a New Zealand speed motorcycle racer played by Anthony Hopkins. He's a cantankerous but charming old guy. His house is a big shed/workshop. The young boy next door helps him. His parents complain about Burt, you can tell they love him and what he gives back to the kid. It is set in 1967 and Munro is working on his 1920's V-Twin Indian motorcycle. He desperately wants to get to Bonneville Utah to see how fast it will go. From there it's a wild journey will Burt meeting and befriending people of all kinds on the way there. He still holds the under 1000cc world land speed record. Really enjoyed this. The tale doesn't mirror Munro's real life but the characters are interesting and it's a good story.

I saw this movie when it first came out, and I have seen it a few times, but not for for many years now. I recall that I liked it quite a bit when I did see it. Certainly would not mind seeing it again at some point.

A Complete Unknown. This Was excellent. Timothee Chalamet is phenomena as are most of the supporting cast. Everyone sings their parts. I can quibble aboutbthe fixation on the switch from folk to rock but it’s a story worth telling.
