  Glass Onion 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 30 Mar 2025

  83/100:  A bit corny in parts, and the Covid piece hasn’t aged well….but the cast is fun and I appreciate all the twists and turns.  Most of all, Benoit Blanc is just an incredibly likable character to spend time with.

  Anora 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  90/100:  I was struggling with what the right comparison is for Anora, then I saw a review that mentioned the anxiety inducing “Uncut Gems”.  I couldn’t agree more with that comparison.  It’s funny,  exciting and quick…it’s nerve racking, deliberate and painful.

  Maybe 20 minutes too long if we’re getting nit-picky.

  Let's Start a Cult 2024

  ★★ Watched 28 Feb 2025

  42/100:  Stavvy baby….basically exactly what you expect it to be.  Definitely not good, but not awful.  I did like Tyler’s puka shell necklace.

  The Hateful Eight 2015

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Feb 2025

  95/100:  Wow….if ever there was a Tarantino picture, this was it.  

  The dialogue, while good, was heavy in the first act.  But all hell breaks loose after that.  All of that heavy dialogue comes back in to play and shows itself as relevant.  

  Absolutely one of my favorite Samuel L. Jackson roles, second only to Jules.  

  Nothing is as it seems here and had me on edge for the last 2/3’s of the movie.  Loved it. 

  “Ol’ Mary Todd’s calling, so I guess it’s time for bed.”
