    The Matrix Resurrections

    ★★★½

    We got a movie about how the first three Matrix films are actually in-universe video games before we got GTA VI.

    This is about as post-Sense8 a Matrix movie as you can get. The metatext of The Matrix Resurrections is about the inherent contradictions of running a franchise down to the bone. It's Lana Wachowski (working without sister Lilly due to scheduling conflicts) wrestling with the WB bigwigs. The fact that Warner Bros. is mentioned by name in this movie…

    For as thankfully progressive as the filmmaking industry…

    Eureka

    ★★★½

    If this were a James Bond film then it'd be called Goldswallower.

    Gold over flesh, flesh over gold and the hypocrisy of being greedy but never allowing others to feel the same. Eureka is a strange film, one which I chose to watch as a result of Gene Hackman's tragic passing a couple of days ago. It's one of his more obscure movies from this decade. Well, as obscure as a movie directed by Nicolas Roeg starring the likes of…
