😀 Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Three short Oscar contenders among my #LastFourWatched. They were OK.

🌴 Also watched the 3.15-hour APOCALYPSE NOW Redux, which was great. I now want to watch the BTS documentary HEARTS OF DARKNESS, but it's no longer available on Amazon Prime in Canada. Bummer! ☹️

😊 Fun challenge in this article: Can you name 50 Canadian movies from 2025?
🤔 Without checking my Letterboxd tally, I could name 15 Canadian feature length films and docs of 2025 by heart, including one I still have to watch.
Onwards! 😉

Yes, but it's possible they licensed it in anticipation of the new film, I will check. I did read the novel last year. I'm prepared for major differences between novel and movie.
