THE MASTERMIND is Kelly Reichardt's own meditative spin on the heist genre that's also her most accessible film yet and led by a sublime leading performance from Josh O'Connor.
Could've given Alana Haim a bit more to do but overall I really dug this one.

Dan Stevens, the next Udo Kier? Place your bets now
Forgot about him! Veers between arthouse, schlock-horror and blockbusters, and clearly no quality control whatsoever. Very much here for The Weird Performances of Dan Stevens.

Although it's only the Critics' Choice shortlists with no voting overlap, since its performance there, I've come back around to the idea of F1: THE MOVIE maybe being this year's FORD V FERRARI/TOP GUN: MAVERICK where it gets Oscar-nominated in BP, some techs, and maybe Original Song.

A five-star movie if you watch just the Anna Faris scenes.

While it's unlikely to happen, I love to imagine the thought of the Oscar lineup of Best Supporting Actor comprised of Jonathan Bailey, Jacob Elordi, and Paul Mescal.
All that amazing talent.

Doing a rare moment of vulnerability on here, but I admit. The state of online film journalism feels bad to the point where I almost tear up because of how bad it's gotten. But even in these circumstances, it's hard for me to just quit.

WICKED: FOR GOOD starts off as a strong heavy continuation of the story's political themes before being undercut by an overlong runtime, messy subplots, and musical numbers that are mostly well-performed yet don't hit the emotional punch they aim for.

So, the movie was engaging enough. Glen Powell was charismatic and of course, hot as Hades, Colman "Best Thing Of Everything I'm In" Domingo was a highlight as usual, the action scenes were cool.
But also, Hollywood, give Katy O'Brian better roles challenge.
