While time has lost much of its meaning during the work-from-home lockdown, it's still a holiday weekend which theoretically will give more of us an opportunity to catch up on screenings. For the Martin Luther King Jr Day holiday weekend, Amazon Prime released One Night in Miami and, it's worth noting as perfect holiday viewing, that the Oscar hopeful documentary MLK/FBI is also available to rent online. Here's what was popular in movie theaters, such as they are right now...

What have you seen these past several days. My eyes have glazed over trying to catch up / get ahead. I took in Malcolm & Marie and Judas and the Black Messiah (which will not be eligible for the 2020 Film Bitch Awards -- beginning very soon-- as those awards always go by calendar year though they will be eligible for the 2020 Oscars due to that "through the end of February" eligibility extension. I also finally screened The Father, made time for a rewatch of Promising Young Woman, and have been taking in some 1989 movies for a guest spot on the One Inch Barrier podcast so more on those later. What have you been watching?
