I watched the trailer and I liked that old vibes, that's why I asked. Never checked it before and heck, it has Dafoe.

That's because we got accustomed to hollywood roles being typecast based on looks only. Execs refuse to give actors a chance to widen their range because audiences and 'experts' call it a miscast. Oh look here's this actor who plays a high ranking military in all of his movies, there is the government offical, here is the small drug dealer type, a lowly office clerk type, here's the guy who plays a loner/underdog type, the protagonist's parents types, scientist type. Zero artisanship involved and it's called movie 'factory' for a reason. Give me a movie where Ralph Fiennes is the good guy and Tom Hanks is the bad guy ffs. Boring!
Watched Annihilation last night, better than expected. 
Whoever the director of photography of this movie was did a remarkable job. So many impressive shots. Hell, there are moments in the movie where each single shot is a work of art.
I think he is great as Spiderman, his teen innocence, witty banter, naive and bumbling way is like the perfect teenage Peter Parker, like character came to life from the comics. He nails the role, much more so then Maguire and others because he is really age appropiate and natural in the role. Maguire was fine as older Peter Parker, but he didnt have personality of Peter Parker I read in comics since I was a little kid. Too gloomy and too nerdy same time, weird mix. But he was fine as Spiderman. But Holland checks all the boxes for me in both aspects of the character.
Issue with Holland is seeing him act in other stuff after you seen him as spiderman, its really hard to disengage from that lol. Not to say he wasnt FANTASTIC in Cherry, he carried the movie (the directors weird comedic choice for voice over narrator of himself breaking 4th wall was odd for a depressing drama...). And I heard he is very good in devils in the detail one.

I watched Zack Snyder's Justice League. Was it better than the previous one? Yeah. I liked how slower it was but not because of the genius move by Zack but because it came by default since it lasts for 4 hours, so more time was given to develop characters that were ignored in the previous one. Does that mean the movie itself is good? Nope. Just another popcorn movie with meh characters and an enemy that had ZERO motives besides being evil and collecting three fucking boxes, duh. They simply won't nail any movie where villain is just fucking stupid. That's why you have movies like Infinity War where they stand out simply because Thanos is amazing. Or Batman trilogy where Joker was brilliant. Even harder task when you have Superman who's overpowered by default and who's at the same time very boring. I liked that Joker in the end. I still can't believe they had Jared Leto have that SHIT Joker in Suicide Squad LOL, that was horrible. This one looks way better, same actor, just different makeup. Still, meh.
I rewatched Shutter Island and I still really like the movie.
La Môme - Really good movie. Marion Cotillard was fucking brilliant, jeez, totally Oscar worthy with that performance. Nuts. I also found it quite interesting. And I also can't believe Marion was in Inception and they used Edit's song as a wake up song in Inception. I noticed that only when I watched this movie, and I think that's fantastic and props to Nolan for that, really huge and sweet detail imo.
Far from the Madding Crowd - Meh. Nothing stood one, just average.
Drishyam 2 - First one was way, way better. I think this one is overrated.
Rust and Bone - Good movie, I enjoyed it. Really solid acting and good time killed.
Otac/Father - Fantastic movie. One of those that's on film fests and totally worth watching. I'm kinda surprised it comes from my country and I think it deserves shitload of rewards. Leading role was nailed, amazing acting. It was based on a story that actually happened here so it's kinda sad/creepy. The atmosphere and artistic touch was top notch. It won some award in Berlin
Joaquin Phoenix is a really great actor. I watched him in Her and it was also a quite good movie.
