  SNL50: The Anniversary Special 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Feb 2025

  Hit a lot of pleasure buttons and was actually funny for most of its runtime. Not just nostalgia for nostalgia's sake.

  It goes Chinatown, LA Confidential, then Zootopia. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

  The Killers 1946

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Nov 2024

  Quintessential Noir. Not quite a must see for everyone, but if you love the genre, you'll love this. It really hangs on its flashback structure, owing a lot to Citizen Kane, pulling some threads, then doubling back, until it's opened the whole Russian nesting doll story of The Swede & Kitty Collins. It's a bit long, but I enjoyed following along with the investigation.

  One False Move 1991

  ★★★★½ Watched 25 Oct 2024

  This is a WOW kind of film. Roger Ebert called it the best movie of 1992, and that's what landed me here. I'm not prepared to go that far, but it's close. For its era, it's about as good an American Crime film that you could ask for, because it's not just about the crime but America too.
