I give out 5 star ratings like a madman. And I don’t feel the least bit bad about it. Gritty 70’s crime flicks are my jam.

Girl in the Picture 2022
Fuck, that was rough. It’s hard for me to give star ratings to these true crime docs, mostly because
I don’t want to come off as a total weirdo who gives them 5 stars all the time. But this is top tier true crime. This story is so unbelievable. And I had no prior knowledge of it before watching. Haunting stuff -
Walking the Edge 1985
Robert Forster is the fucking man. He rocks as a cabbie who collects for a bookie, who has no balls, but then finds them and becomes a total bad ass. Even though this was filmed in 1985, it feels like a gritty, mid 70’s exploitation flick. It’s pretty grimy. But I enjoyed the hell out of this one. Also, anything with Joe Spinell in it is a winner in my book. Such a real talent. He is always a great bad guy.

Dunkirk 2017
Checked this out at my local IMAX theater. It really might be Christopher Nolan's masterpiece, at least from a technical standpoint. And it's also the one film that feels the least Nolan-like. The Hans Zimmer score is intense as hell. And the dogfight scenes with the spitfire planes are absolutely exhilarating and breathtaking. It's a gorgeous looking war film that ranks as one of the best contemporary WW2 films along with Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line.
