40 17% Possessor (2020) - Rated 29 Oct 2024
75 60% Smiley Face (2007) - Rated 18 Sep 2024
"Most stoner comedies hold you at a distance to observe with bemusement, this one holds you hostage inside the protagonist's skull and is too honked out of its gourd to remember where it misplaced the key. Funniest possible use of Styx."
35 15% Civil War (2024) - Rated 17 Sep 2024
"Ten points for the Silver Apples needle drop, ten points for the Suicide needle drop, ten points for the ten De La Soul needle drop, five points for Jesse Plemons. I believe fully that war photographers/journalists are akin to documentarians risking life and limb, despite his seeming earnest effort Garland manages to paint them as voyeurist perverts, foolhardy storm chasers, merchants of violence and trauma in crisp 4K."
85 84% Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) - Rated 02 Mar 2024
60 34% Spaceman (2024) - Rated 02 Mar 2024
"A bit heartbreaking that this is just forgettably okay, largely probes the surface of an already well-trodden approach of loneliness of space as metaphor for expanse of ones emotional struggles, glacially paced and somewhat incurious despite its compositional grace, too much tell over show via Dano's Exposition Alien Spider. Sandler at his most muted ever is an exciting turn but pulling off a convincingly nuanced Czech accent in the quiet details of Jakob's resting murmur? Not as successful."
50 23% Keyhole (2011) - Rated 02 Mar 2024
"Maddin nooooooo don't do digital it doesn't fit yr aesthetic nooooooo!"
80 73% Landscape with Invisible Hand (2023) - Rated 24 Feb 2024
75 60% The Cameraman (1928) - Rated 24 Feb 2024
"Cute but visibly neutered by MGM, lacking the daredevil momentum and physicality of his better work, the walloping third act I'm accustomed to never truly shakes out. Even so, endearing, wonderfully performed, and it does have a monkey. Does your movie have a monkey? No? Add a monkey."
85 84% The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) - Rated 24 Feb 2024
"Bring back American movie heroes that are actually just hideous, schlubby, bigoted, selfish and barely competent, getting by on bare minimum amounts of fumbles, acting on selfish, almost counter-intuitively competitive whims, good guys only in comparison to the cold blooded and calculated. The modern American action movie hero myth rings false but the brass balled supervisor who just marches hot headed up to a train car, unarmed, gets gunned down and is never spoken of again? That's my America."
60 34% Mission: Impossible III (2006) - Rated 24 Feb 2024
"If the only two true emotions a piece of media makes me feel are "God, PSH was so good" and "Well, it's better than Mission Impossible II", that's just enough to get by. The cold open is razor sharp and suffocating but it kinda fucks up the momentum of the movie? I am slowly becoming the guy who cheers at the screen when the mask moments happen and there may be no saving me."
