  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  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 1974

  ★★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  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

  Taxi Driver 1976

  ★★★★★ Watched 18 Feb 2025

  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 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 21 Jan 2025

  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.
