    Da 5 Bloods

    ★★★★

    Pound for pound, some of the best acting of this century , across the board. In a world where everyone is trying to rehash Heath Ledger’s Joker, I’d like for people to pivot and make Delroy Lindo’s character their new north star.

  • Yesterday

    Yesterday

    ★★

    The perfect middling plane movie, literally nothing more or nothing less.

  • Women Talking

    Women Talking

    ★★★

    Don’t understand why Marky Mark caught so much flack…women ARE in fact talking in this film, and quite a bit.

    All jokes aside, I thought this movie was alright. It’s literally just a lot of good performers having lengthy back and forth conversations, but none of it really entertained me (and that’s not a knock on the overarching message, which I think we can all get behind). From a purely film standpoint, I think it was poorly shot & directed and…

  • On the Waterfront

    On the Waterfront

    ★★★★

    Brando’s performance in this is like Dylan’s Freewheelin Bob Dylan LP (or to put it in more modern terms - Radiohead’s Kid-A). A game changer, and you either get it or you don’t. 

    His acting here essentially jumpstarts New Hollywood over a decade before it really kicked into the zeitgeist. What’s even more incredible is that most of the actors surrounding him in this film still feel like they have one foot in the Golden Era with performances that feel…

  • Creed III

    Creed III

    ★★★

    An okay, more or less by-the-numbers Rocky/Creed movie… but here’s my larger takeaway - is anybody else concerned that these dudes are too jacked to ever convincingly play normal people again? Like Jonathan Majors can’t turn around and play an electrician in a movie and realistically pull it off.

  • In Bruges

    In Bruges

    ★★★★½

    The best fairy tale of the 21st century

    ★★

    Epically baconated

  • The Lost City of Z

    The Lost City of Z

    ★★★★

    Dense, but incredibly well-directed film (James Gray always knows how to move the camera). The last half of the film is gonna stick with me for a long time.

  • Avatar: The Way of Water

    ★★★★

    James Cameron: Fuck a story, here’s 3+ hours of nonstop eye-popping visuals for you piggies 

    Me: 🤤🤤🤤

  • Cocaine Bear

    Cocaine Bear

    ★★

    Remember the days when bears didn’t have to worry about fentanyl all up in their cocaine…what a time.

  • The Whale

    The Whale

    Aronofsky has officially lost the plot.  My guy hasn’t been the same ever since Rachel Weisz left his life, understandably.

  • Little Miss Sunshine

    Little Miss Sunshine

    ★★★★

    Fuck a lotta women, kid, I have no reason to lie to you. Not just one, a lotta women.
