Coen Brothers Filmography Rewatch #12
*I recently acquired Adam Nayman's book The Coen Brothers: This Book Really Ties the Films Together, wherein he examines each of their films from 1984 to 2016. As they are my favorite filmmakers, I will be reading a chapter at a time and watching the accompanying film. Whenever possible, I'll try and recount my first viewing.

In 2007, I was the GM…

The Last of the Mohicans 1992
This instantly became one of my favorite films when I first saw it, and it has remained so for the past twenty-five years. My mom sat me down to watch it around 1996 or so, not knowing whether or not a thirteen year-old could truly appreciate it. Before tonight, my most recent viewing was also with my mom, back in 2018. A local, arthouse theater, which I ran as General Manager from 2006-2009, had a month-long series dedicated to Daniel…

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
Yeah I'm watching it again, so what?
Gonna ugly cry while I drink these IPAs and try one of these gummies for the first time.
Nothing matters, let's just be fucking rocks.

A Cat in Paris 2010
Family Movie Night
What if Alfred Hitchcock animated a kid's movie? I think it would be this.
The animation is great, the story is fun but feels dangerous, it's charming with a dark edge, the music is swelling and dramatic, it has the voice of Spike from Cowboy Bebop.
So yeah I definitely dug this a lot. My wife fell asleep (duh) and my son is at a friend's house so this was quality bonding time with my daughter after randomly spotting it at the library and thinking the cover looked cool.

AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door 2022
This was just about perfection. The build may have lacked a lot, but damn if the show didn't deliver, match after match. This was an absolute blast, start to finish.
I was pulling for Miro, but Pac has deserved a belt for years so that win made me happy.
Super happy that JR was used sparingly, because he could have really had a negative impact on commentary for this show. Kinda like when he called the finish to the semi…

Blow Out 1981
I have to admit, I'm really not much of a De Palma guy, based on the titles I've seen to date. But the guys on The Rewatchables were doing a hard sell on their recent episode on The Untouchables, so I gave it a shot and it really worked on me. I think it may have instantly shot to the top of the list of John Travolta performances, in this guy's opinion.
I haven't seen the film it was based…
