Taylor Swift The Eras Tour (2023) [+] A three hour concert film from her Eras Tour where she sings representative songs from her career (the new Taylor's Version of songs). A lot of great songs and Taylor Swift has a great stage presence so this is a really good concert film.
The Super Models (2023) [/] 4-part documentary series looking at the lives of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington. How they became models and started the super models trend and what they're doing now. Lots of interview footage with the four then and now and lots of great photos. It's interesting but not amazingly so and took me a while to watch all four episodes.
Past Lives (2023) [-] Childhood friends Nora Moon (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Woo) were separated when her family moved to New York City. A dozen years later they happen to find each other online and rekindle a romance for a few months but their lives are separated as he still lives in Seoul, Korea, so they break up again. Another dozen years and he finally visits New York City but now she's happily married to Arthur (John Magaro) so it's more like time to say a final goodbye… A rather slow talky sort of film and I like how during their online relationship they have so many problems with connections and with finding a good meeting time. But ultimately it's a fairly boring film.
Hunan Mifen, Lawrence Expressway, Sunnyvale [/] Chinese rice noodles (round not flat). I had rice noodles with braised beeb sirloin and tomato. Comes in a soup. Tasted ok though I think Vietnamese Pho is better.
