Inventing Anna 2022

★★★★ Watched by Fred 🇵🇷 24 Feb 2022

Anna Delvey was an inevitability.
Every follow, "like", and vanity-driven action that preceded her ascent to the top of the glitterati was going to result in Anna. We asked for her and she did not disappoint.
Shonda Rhimes's latest Netflix confection revels in that delirious feast of "we did this" mania and Julia Garner's immediately iconic portrayal of the enigmatic protagonist is the perfect medium to unleash Delvey's chaotic, bingeable energy. And everything Anna does is indeed the picture of…
Transformers: Age of Extinction 2014

★★★ Watched by Fred 🇵🇷 02 May 2022 4

Orgiastic techno carnage headlined by Mark Wahlberg, Bud Light, Good Year, and Beats by Dre featuring a sneakily effective cameo from Gucci. It could be split up into enough parts to make up a miniseries and counts among its talents a frenzied Stanley Tucci and Kelsey Grammer (single-handedly keeping Tom Kane in power). It's concrete proof that executing enormous jaw-droping displays of explosive spectacle in a lazily-written world in which women stop aging at 30 and all look like runway…

The Valet 2022

★★★½ Watched by Fred 🇵🇷 21 May 2022

Absurd, low-fi tragicomic vibes aside, 'The Valet' is a sweet and palpably well-meaning pic. Samara Weaving has always been a tried-and-tested delight and her charm here pairs very nicely with a frequently funny script punctuated by sharply accurate observations of not just life in LA (though, believe me, it gets that very right) but everywhere around it. The late, great Carmen Salinas, in her final starring turn, steals the damn thing. And what a memorable, life-affirming performance to leave us…
Moon Knight 2022

★★★★½ Watched by Fred 🇵🇷 13 May 2022

Oscar Isaac is easily Marvel's biggest "get" for me and not just because he's officially the hottest person to have graced the MCU. 'Moon Knight' thankfully presents a great, challenging role for him to slip into. I'm equally buzzing about Ethan Hawke in this. Two great scene-chewing actors sparring verbally (and otherwise) in a pricey, ancient Egypt-tinged fantasy character drama. What's not for this lifelong ancient Egypt-obsessed kid to love?
P.S. I'm highkey obsessed with May Calamawy and hope to see a lot more of her in both the MCU and beyond.
P.P.S. F. Murray Abraham's Khonshu voice is perfection.

Vampires vs. the Bronx 2020

★★★½ Watched by Fred 🇵🇷 02 Oct 2020 2

Wholesome Latino and Black representation in a horror film. We love to see it!
Vampires vs. the Bronx is much more than the latest Netflix flavor of the week. In it's modest way, this mainstream-friendly vamp-hunting jaunt is a big deal, not only because it is led by a trio of adorable kids who happen to be people of color, but because it also manages to imbue a dusty genre mainstay with a vitally urgent message that is very much…
Psycho Goreman 2020

★★ Watched by Fred 🇵🇷 26 Jan 2021 37

Folks, meet the single most annoying character of the 21st century. No, I'm not referring to the titular monster but to his captor, a little girl who will make you beg for the sweet relief of total annihilation mere moments after meeting her. I'm calling it now, everyone else can go home. Mimi is the most obnoxiously spoiled brat you'll ever know and boy does she spoil what could've been silly divertive fun. She is the bane of anyone who…
