    Black Bag

    ★★★★

    Me: *stands up to go to the bathroom*
    Friend: Where are you going? 
    Me: Black bag

    But also, what an absolute crime that the default Letterboxd backdrop excludes Cate!!

  • The Towering Inferno

    The Towering Inferno

    ★★½

    A few really jaw-dropping scenes, but surprisingly slow (and a little dull) for a movie that spends most of its runtime on fire. Jennifer Jones was my MVP

    ★★★★★

    People talk about the Scorsese of it all, the De Niro of it all, the Schrader of it all. BUT LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE HERRMANN OF IT ALL. What a way to go out, huh?

  • The Brutalist

    The Brutalist

    ★★★★½

    Although I may kvetch about some of the plot choices towards the end, it’s hard to deny the sheer grandeur of this film (Score! Sets! Acting!) - a cinematic feast in many ways.

    I also left the theater with things to chew on (not just the numerous snacks I had for the long, but engaging, run-time) - I appreciate that the movie didn’t lay its hand obviously bare like others have this cycle. 

    Also, Felicity’s accent could have been worse! Will count that as a win.
