Director Francis Ford Coppola, notable for having an absolutely medium-defining run in the 1970s (50 years ago), self-financed this movie that he also wrote and directed himself. Many people are applauding this as a celebration of a true auteur, someone daring to lay it all on the line as he nears the end of his life. After a string of failures, the king has returned, they say, and we should cheer for a man who dares to make something so…

No Other Land 2024
I sit here on the night of the 2024 Presidential election, and I weep. Because I know no matter who wins, this will continue. The uniparty serves to advance the American Imperialist Machine at the expense of all morality and decency and ethics. My taxes pay for genocide. There is nothing I can do. I am literally powerless in the face of Evil.
I have always considered Israel to be an apartheid state, but before a year ago I…

Collateral 2004
Oh my god that Audioslave needle drop. I levitated.
Tom Cruise playing the Shadow. The aspect of Foxx's persona that he wishes he could be. He stands up for himself to his shitty boss, charms his mother, defends himself from street thugs. The Tyler Durden to his Fight Club Protag. If he's the bad guy, then why is he so magnetic? Why do I wish I could live life like him?
As annoying as he is in real life and…

Michael Clayton 2007
Don't get me wrong, I had a good time and was thoroughly engaged, but every time Swinton was on screen, a little voice in the back of my mind kept whispering "Really? An Academy Award for this?"
Until the final scene between her and Clooney, which is maybe the best thing I've ever seen in my entire piece of shit life. Tom Wilkinson also GOATed in this. They should show his scenes to every drama school class in the world…

Pretend That You Love Me 2020
Reading some of the newer reviews from people in Film Club is breaking my heart a bit, so I wanted to give some deeper thoughts and explain why I chose this film to share and why it means so much to me.
I've spoken before on here about how and why Joel is a huge inspiration to me. I think it's a very common feeling for aspiring artists to feel stuck when they're just starting out and attempting to break…

Macbeth 1979
This is my favorite interpretation of Macbeth and it isn't really even close.
I know this is kind of cheating because it's a play on tape and not a film, but this really is just that good.
Words cannot describe or do it justice. It's simply a collection of the best actors in the world doing what they do best. These performers were allowed to dive into the material and play around in the muck. It's so raw and immediate.…
