  The Alto Knights 2025

  ★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  Two hours of Italian-Americans endlessly bickering and exposition dumping. It felt like Robert De Niro’s narrated history of the 20th century. Will gangster films even exist after De Niro is gone?

  Magazine Dreams 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  It’s a shame about Majors, because he’s extremely talented and gave a tragic, volcanic, Oscar-level performance. Wears themes of alienation, fragility, loneliness, and obsession from other works proudly on its sleeve. Mental health matters.
