Referenced this queen to a group last night. Nobody knew what I meant. Showed the picture. Nobody recognized her. Is this what it feels like to be shunned from God’s light?

To watch One Battle After Another in a theater is to experience a monumental new piece of art in real time. Historic, huge, & really unexpectedly powerful. PTA directs at a huge scale that still feels tactile & ground-level. Amazing performances all around. I laughed, I cried...it exceeds the hype.

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.

IN THE HAND OF DANTE is sprawling, ambitious, messy, unintentionally funny, and totally compelling. It's not captivating for the right reasons, but I did love the gorgeous cinematography & stunning performance(s) from Oscar Isaac. Gerard Butler good? But then there's Gal Gadot...

Eight years ago, Carrie Page let out a scream that continues to echo, louder and louder as time goes by...

AMMAZZARE STANCA (or Tired of Killing) is a portrait of a mafia hitman reassessing his lot in life, told in as unexciting a way as a crime thriller could possibly be. Overlong and monotonous, the concrete shoe pacing really drags this thing down. Decent performances.

François Ozon's THE STRANGER is a beautifully shot adaptation of Camus' novel that fails to find a sense of purpose for nearly half its runtime...which is purposeful. Its examination of an emotionless young man makes its point, even if it's not the most captivating watch.

Was pleasantly surprised by MARC BY SOFIA, a documentary about Jacobs by Coppola. Affectionate and invigorating, Coppola's archival, collage-style filmmaking pairs well with Jacobs' reference-heavy descriptions of his own work. Sometimes it's nice to look at beautiful things.

DEAD MAN'S WIRE is a Dog Day Afternoon wannabe, but instead of everyone sweating, they're shivering in wintry 1977 Indianapolis. Bill Skarsgård is committed and frightening/frightened, but it simply lacks an energy of excitement that would help it properly ape the 70s thrillers it's indebted to.

Kathryn Bigelow is back in her element with A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, a thrilling, extremely tense movie that dads are gonna love falling asleep to once it's on Netflix [complimentary!!] A fascinating exploration of the balance between proper procedure & natural human crisis response.

KIM NOVAK'S VERTIGO is overly reverential of the titular star (and is less about Vertigo than the title might indicate), treading a line between respectful admiration and fawning fanaticism. Still, Novak's self-examinations of her career and most famous character are fascinating.
