The Brutalist 2024
"No matter what the others try and sell you, it is the destination, not the journey."
A towering, mid-century novelistic statement to the crushing burden of dreaming big and the unjust price that immigrants have and still pay to cement their role in the American experiment. Shot magnificently on VistaVision and aided by a powerful score. The cast sizzles with chemistry: Adrien Brody brings his professional sensitivity to playing a man burdened with trauma, While Guy Pearce distills the essence…

The Florida Project 2017
“You know why this is my favorite tree?…'Cause it's tipped over, and it's still growing.”
This film is Pure Humanity captured in celluloid. A soul shattering and heartwarming testament to the unbreakable strength of the human spirit. Brooklynn Prince, Christopher Rivera and Valeria Cotto have a very playful time as children to down on their luck parents, utilizing the only thing that’s truly free for children to have in abundance: their imaginations. Willem Defoe makes a remarkable turn against type…

Top Secret! 1984
"For as long as a single man is forced to cower under the iron fist of oppression, as long as a child cries out in the night, or an actor can be elected president, we must continue the struggle."
Zucker, Abrams, & Zucker apply their trademark economy of humor to various puns and visual gags in a WWII/Elvis parody that has Val Kilmer flexing some serious comedic muscle.

Lost Highway 1997
"I like to remember things my own way."
A near-hallucinatory descent into the dark underbelly of southern California. Chillingly dream-like cinematography and a terrifying performances by Roberts Blake and Loggia. Understandable why Mulholland Dr. is the more celebrated, but this one is much more sinister.

Companion 2025
"There were two times I felt truly happy. First, the day I met Josh; second, the day I killed him."
A romp of a thriller that does not play out like you'd expect at all, providing twists and turns that are not too played out from other films. Sophie Thatcher perfects the intricacies of how a robot would interact in small facial gestures or other little things lie not moving her arms wile walking, while Jack Quaid delivers the most…

Vertigo 1958
"You know, the Chinese say that once you have saved a person's life, you're responsible for it forever."
An audacious foray into desire, memory, and obsession. Hitchcock expertly channels Jimmy Stewart's darkness into a masterful performance as Scottie. Kim Novak is possibly the most nuanced Blonde Hitchcock ever had. San Francisco looks stunning, and Bernard Hermann's score is fantastically complementary to the events unfolding. Truly, this film gets better every single time.
