3. We Know Where You Live
While the film had some relatively minor issues, mostly a lack of background and depth for its characters, but I found the film entertaining.
2. Box Office
Thanks to Carte Blanche, the season won't be at the bottom of the box office standings. It was a close one though.
1. Carte Blanche
Carte Blanche might even be better than Risico, and that's saying something. The first film lacked in the villain department a bit, and obviously John Malone took that criticism and improved in that department drastically. The script also impressed me in how it took a somewhat cheesey villain like Francisco Scaramanga (at least Christopher Lee's version in The Man with the Golden Gun) and make him feel intimidating and threatening.
3. Tinseltown
Tinseltown had a lot of really good pieces, but its inability to pick which plot thread to focus on really hampered the overall experience. Obviously the most interesting stuff was Mabel Normand and William Desmond Taylor, but the story went away from it too often to force us to sit through Chalamet's relationship problems.
2. Timothee Chalamet
Is it just me or does Chalamet just seem like a parody of himself these days? I didn't hate Tinseltown, but I think it could have been better with a young star that can blend into a role a bit better.
1. Box Office
This was a good round for the box office, but considering that it narrowly avoided being the least profitable season in LRF history, I have to include it as a negative as well.
