    Saw VI

    ★★★

    Varied locations with differing color tones, some of the series’ most punishing traps, Devon Bostick, and a fun-to-hate scumbag we love to watch suffer at the center. The carousel… *mwah* chef’s kiss. Best Saw sequel.

    Stop Making Sense

    ★★★★★

    Demme harmonizes with the Talking Heads and places the special relationship they have with each other at the center. A triumph of collective inspiration.

  • A Haunting in Venice

    A Haunting in Venice

    ★★★½

    The best of Branagh’s Poirot trilogy due to its moody yet believable atmosphere, lack of distracting/ bad performances, and its interest in playing fair with the core mystery. Less is more.
