• Léon: The Professional 1994

  1657th movie, 266th from the 1990s, 543rd on Netflix Bi-annual movie, 3rd viewing. I will need to unpack this one on my main blog. I understand Natalie Portman’s looking back on the movie and seeing it the way she does. But there are also other angles depending on how you see the world.

• Payback 1999

  1606th movie, 257th from the 1990s, 474th on Prime Part of the FilmSack collection. We chose the regular version this time. It had redeeming qualities, and some pretty graphic violence. Which I do enjoy. Some day we might watch the Director’s Cut.

Very pretty…
