Cinemaps: An Atlas of 35 Great Movies | 
In no order:
*Laura Dern (What a filmography! Here are just a few of my favorites: Wild At Heart, Blue Velvet, Jurassic Park, The Master)
*Amy Adams (Some favorites: Arrival, Sharp Objects, Vice)
*For relatively new talent, no doubt my favorite is Lily Gladstone based off of her incredible performance in Killers of The Flower Moon (the first Native American to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress in Motion Picture Drama & the first to ever (CONT)
Reposting this year old post for good reasons (Headline cut off at top said "Time has named Michelle Yeoh as one of the 100 most influential people")
?????
My 7 favorite movies released in '22 (excluding favorite pre '22 releases that I watched this year, that'd be a whole separate list). There are several out that I still want to see (esp. The Fabelmans, Empire of Light & The Menu).
What were your favorite movies of the year?
Just returned from the theater where I saw dramatist & director Martin McDonagh's latest. I admire his previous movies, esp In Bruges & Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri so this has been one of my most anticipated. Did not disappoint. Farrell & Gleeson are perfect together. The rest of the cast (esp Farrell's previous collaborator Barry Keoghan & Kerry Condon as Farrell's bookish no nonsense sister) shine. In my top 5 released this year.
As they should. Everything Everywhere All At Once remains the best new movie I have seen this year. Funny, strange, innovative & strangely moving. Wouldn't have been nearly as memorable without Yeoh's performance
1) I love going to the movies! I only go for ones that I'm really excited about, but it's always one of my most anticipated activities. I also enjoy live music, but haven't been since the pandemic.
2) Just on Litsy. I tend to skip past reviews of my most anticipated until I have read the book. I have thought about buying a subscription to Kirkus as I used to love reading their reviews.
3) My recliner in my living room.

pickEach map is stunning, There is so much detail in each map.
The essays that accompanied each map were incredibly insightful in its analysis.They were easy to read, concise, and flowed nicely.
My issue with this book is the size of the maps. Even though they take up a whole page, the maps are still too small to fully appreciate.
Together, the essays and the maps create a beautiful book that will make you want to re-watch the movies.
Currently Reading: Cinemaps, which is yet another book from @quirkbooks. This book features maps of 35 popular movies including Jurassic Park, Star Wars and Clueless.

You guys.... YOU GUYS!!! The minds behind Plotted: A Literary Atlas made a book of maps of movies! This is a real thing that I am really holding in my hand! Interiors to follow.
Honorable mentions-Scream Queens would be a tie between Samara Weaving (for the excellent Ready Or Not & the fantastic Mayhem with Steven Yeun) & Sigourney Weaver (just for Alien). Anna Karina (esp the collaborations w/ JP Belmondo), Tilda Swinton (gloriously weird), Toni Collette, Helena Bonham Carter etc
