HEY THAT'S GRANVILLE ISLAND!! But in all seriousness, this is easily one of my favourite entries in the MI series. It marks the start of the modern era of MI films with its strong focus on the set-pieces and stunts, the calibre of which in this film are among the best in the franchise. The tech in the Kremlin scene is just so cool, while Cruise scaling the Burj Khalifa and the ensuing sandstorm are absolutely jawdropping wonders of action…

Black Bag 2025
Taught little thriller right here! A whodunit involving a crew of highly trained professional spies is such a fantastic idea, and could not have been placed in more appropriate hands than those of Steven Soderbergh. The casting here is phenomenal; not too surprising, I might add, since Soderbergh seems to often scoop up the exact leads he needs.
Watched at Scotiabank Theatre Vancouver.

The Wailing 2016
Hmm... I wanted to like this one more, but I think it was too withdrawn in developing the underlying evil in its world. I'm all for a slow burn, but not when it concludes with a bit of a whimper. Though I do applaud it for the way it navigates what it means to be a protector, specifically, the heavy weight of decision making in perilous circumstances under the expectations that come with being a father.
Watched on the Criterion Channel.

Rest easy, David Lynch. Our worlds are just a whole lot richer for you having taken us for a ride behind your lens.
