    A Face in the Crowd

    ★★★★½

    A film for our demagogue times. 

    “It’s dangerous. What? Baton twirling? No power.”

    “I’ll say one thing for him — he’s got the courage of his ignorance.”

    “This whole country’s just like my flock of sheep.”

    “There’s nothing as trustworthy as the ordinary mind of the ordinary man.”

    “Goodnight, you stupid idiots.” — Musk to the American people.

    “You were taken in like we were all taken in. But we get wise to them, and that’s our strength.”

    Cul de Sac: A Suburban War Story

    ★★★★★

    a sociological rendering of a seemingly simple story of a troubled and disadvantaged man, a tank & suburban streets. but the filmmaker crafts a tale of the pain & tragedies of de-industrialization & globalization, the after effects of the military industrial complex, the scourge of meth amidst high unemployment and skyrocketing poverty rates and the myth of the American Dream. deceptively simple yet tremendous documentary.

    The Demon

    If ever you needed a perfect pairing for The Devils, this might be a contender. 

    Hottest line in a horror movie:
    “I hid your life & your destiny within my body! Find them & I’ll give them back you.” 

    “I am one of the invisibles of this world.”
