Cruising 1980
A grimy postcard of 80s NYC that feels like time travel. I like that this film balances its central murder mystery with genuine atmosphere as Pacino descends deeper into the leather underworld. Guess this one had baggage at the time it was released about its portrayal of the LGTBQ community but it also absolutely nails corrupt cops and institutional violence. Definitely not copaganda - just Friedkin firing on all cylinders like his other sleazefest To Live and Die in LA

A Real Pain 2024
Went into it skeptical, like is Culkin just going to do the succession schtick, but in the final few seconds of this one I was left feeling deeply hopeful but anxious for his character, so mission succeeded I think. This is a smaller scale and less ambitious Sideways, which absolutely perfected the “buddy dramedy on a road trip” formula.

Rebel Ridge 2024
Aaron Pierre is a great lead and super convincing badass in this. Don Johnson also plays that corrupt cop archetype so damn well. Think this could have been a little shorter, drags a bit in the middle. Great ending sequence though.

Anora 2024
A sugar rush followed by a breathless crash reminiscent of one of my favorites Uncut Gems, I did feel like things became sluggish in the last third of the movie
