Elvis 2022
Baz Luhrmannโs bedazzled portrayal of Elvis is loud, psychedelic, and braggadocious. The King of Rock and Roll himself was a poor kid who was beaten and exploited by Col. Tom Parker. Tom Parker, himself was a mysterious traveling showman who tried to get Elvis in shape. But unfortunately went to high on his supply. Needling morphine, pills, and countless debts. Elvisโs psyche was practically destroyed once he set foot in Las Vegas for his yearly-long residence. But before all that,โฆ

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
Excuse me while I transport myself into the kosher hot dog fingers universe. I can eat hot dogs all dayโฆ.
The Daniels ability to turn low brow art into high art continues to impress me. Everything Everywhere All At Once is the most original film youโll see this year. Bursting with high energy and action set pieces, the filmโs basic plot of an Asian mother trying to do her taxes suddenly turns into a nightmare scenario. Evelynโs from multiple universesโฆ

No Time to Die 2021
4K Blu-rayย
Happy 4th of July! And what a wonderful time to re-experience a British legend, James Bond. I still have some gripes about this finale. Rami Malek is a boring, stoic villain.

His iconic one-take style continues to be impressive well deep into his filmography.

Dazed and Confused 1993
George Washington and them aliens man.
Linklaterโs hangout film is one of the greatest to be filmed. Each conversation comes back with a biting comedic edge. The attention to detail in terms of the music and culture is greatly appreciated. You canโt come out of this film without quoting Matthew Mcconaugheyโs iconic โalright alrightโ dialogue. I always forget that a young Anthony Rapp and Ben Affleck show up in their respective roles. This is certainly a great add on to my criterion collection.

Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn 2021
To open your film with an unsimulated sex scene is incredibly bold and insane. Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn recently won the Golden Bear at the 2021 Berlin International Film Festival. Iโm not entirely familiar with this directorโs work nor the Romanian New Wave movement. This was a wild ride to uncover. The first part of the film is about a teacher who is caught up with a sex tape scandal. We follow her through the streets of Bucharest,โฆ
