  Probably my favorite movie of the year. Definitely the best cast of the year.

  If you wanna see how quickly and profoundly pop culture sensibilities have shifted in the past ten years, show a Zoomer this movie.

  Orphan: First Kill 2022

  Watched 19 Aug 2022 3

  ORPHAN: FIRST KILL is the class war trashterpiece 2022 has been aching for. It’s exactly the movie it should be this second and I wouldn’t have thought of it in a million years. On the audacity scale, it’s this year’s MALIGNANT, but with a thematic timeliness (or maybe trendiness) that I can’t believe they went for. It is NOT a rehash by any means. I’m buzzing.

  Nope 2022

  Watched 19 Jul 2022 2

  While NOPE expands Peele’s canvas into thrilling sci-fi horror, his thematic target this time is nothing less than the entertainment industry itself, presenting a mosaic of lives, careers and relationships, sacrificed at the altar of spectacle and scattered outside Hollywood and across the desert like so much debris.
