  Watermelon Man 1970

  ★★★★½ Watched by Peter Valerio 26 Jun 2022

  The ugliness of white America, even well-meaning liberal white America, is on display here. And it's a comedy. A studio comedy, at that.

  This is not Melvin Van Peebles best film, but it is certainly one to catch.

  Dogs 2016

  ★★★★★ Watched by Peter Valerio 26 Jun 2022

  Brutal crime film where most of the violence is offscreen. Sublime control of tone.

  Gone Girl 2014

  ★★★★★ Watched by Peter Valerio 24 Oct 2014 1

  This is an intense film. I'm really glad that I knew next to nothing about the plot going in.

  There are so many great lines in this film. My wife and I were the only ones laughing in the theater. What does that say about us?

  Interstellar 2014

  ★★★★★ Watched by Peter Valerio 07 Nov 2014 1

  Equal parts science lesson, metaphysical mumbo-jumbo and emotional manipulation. I loved it.
