Cinephile in the nicest definition of that word.
A really good Disney sequel. When was the last time we could say that? #Zootopia2

A film that will devastate you in ways we rarely experience today in cinema. It's closest proximity to this is a Tarkovsky film. A truly amazing film. Now on Netflix.

A ★★★★★ review of Train Dreams (2025)
There's a quiet devastation within TRAIN DREAMS (2025), a marvelous adaptation of the 2011 novella by author Denis Johnson. Poet Robert Frost once said, “in three words I can sum up everything I’ve le...

A disturbing exploration in how your crazy uncle's theories are now global. A satire, but confused on who is the villain.

A ★★★★ review of Bugonia (2025)
BUGONIA (2025) is nuts; a calculated display from Yorgos Lanthimos about the dangerous nature of the rabbit hole echo chambers of conspiracy theories that cripple in the existential anxiety of such th...

An anxiety-inducing look at a mom on the brink.

A ★★★★½ review of If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025)
What if screaming in a pillow isn't the private, emotional cathartic release that it’s supposed to be? Linda (Rose Byrne) is on the brink: she's emotionally drained and riddled with oppressive anxiety...

A ★★★★ review of A Hyena in the Safe (1968)
The strange and exciting genre hybrid that is A HYENA IN THE SAFE (Una jena in Cassaforte, 1968) was unfairly ignored at the time of its release (it only played for about a week in theaters), and sinc...

Works best when it's a stoner comedy than anything political, which when it tries to be, is as deep as a meme.

A ★★★½ review of One Battle After Another (2025)
Che Guevara said, “the revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall,” but in Paul Thomas Anderson's ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (2025), itself a loose adaptation of Vin...

Just saw a much lauded, critically appraised and audience adored 2025 movie that I thought was just pretty good, but not as great as all that would suggest.

A western vampire gothic that twists the Stoker’s novel into an intriguing and slow direction.

People are weird: they're like "I kind of didn't like this movie"... one star on Letterboxd. Or "it was alright", 4.5 stars on Letterboxd.

Pretty artifice; Del Toro’s Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

A ★★½ review of Frankenstein (2025)
In one sentence, Colin Clive’s Henry Frankenstein roars a resounding defiance of hubris and self-affirmation with “by God, now I know what it feels like to be God”, that powerfully underscores not onl...

Now streaming on Peacock, this is the way to handle dramatizing the crimes of serial killers: with respect to the victims, dead and alive. A marvelous miniseries.

A ★★★½ review of Rabbit Trap (2025)

At times, ANEMONE (2025) is frustratingly impenetrable as a narrative. Long takes that edge up to slow cinema, expressions that speak louder than words if you can even hear them. The film is painterly...
