Phantom of the Paradise 1974
Phantom of the Paradise is so unapologetically bananas and ambitious that I can’t help but love it. What Brian De Palma is doing here from a writing and directing standpoint is insanely bold. There’s an iconic scene where two simultaneous oners play in split-screen, capturing two different perspectives of the same moment. Who the hell even thinks of that?

Murder Mystery 2 2023
Caught an early screening. I’m unashamedly a huge Adam Sandler fan. I was probably laughing harder than anyone in the theater. Lots of great bits and I love the chemistry between Sandler and Aniston. There’s some legitimately really well done moments of action. The ‘Bang, Bang’ slow-mo sequence was excellent and blew me away (no pun intended).
