#NowSeated for THE BRUTALIST in IMAX.

Spent this past week watching Brady Corbet’s previous two films which range from masterpiece to, uh, masterpiece.

Can’t wait for what’s been described as the next Great American Motion Picture.

Watching 65 and just look at this late title card drop. Never seen a movie drop its title and premise at the same time, this is gonna be a ride.

Movie Rec of the Day: THE COFFEE TABLE | d. Caye Casas

A pitch black, single location horror-comedy with one of the most unthinkable inciting incidents of all time.

90 minutes in the worst situation imaginable. Peak bad vibes cinema.

Now streaming on Tubi.

Being a picky eater growing up makes for some odd adult experiences. Like trying corn on the cob for the first time at 27 years old.

Just rewatched ‘AD ASTRA’. It’s a shame really about the tacked-on voiceover and hasty reshoots to add Liv Tyler, because otherwise this is a jaw-dropping, unabashedly Freudian odyssey where human error and instinct are more terrifying than any extraterrestrial. Whew.
