    Ghostwatch

    ★★★★★

    Just nabbed a copy of this upstate, remembered how flawless and ahead of its time it is. Top tier mockumentary/found footage horror. Watch out for Pipes

  • The Evil Within

    The Evil Within

    ★★★

    Bizarre and unsettling. You can tell it was the passion project of a troubled Getty scion — clunky in some ways, but way more interesting and creative than most stuff currently coming out of the A24 factory.

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★

    Generally well made, if over-stuffed. The first 40 minutes, especially, feel incredibly rushed.

    Nolan-isms undermine it; stock characters, bad dialogue, and he slathers music over nearly every second.

    But it still succeeds where it counts. The detonation scene, and Oppenheimer’s subsequent nightmares/hallucinations, are deeply unsettling and moving.

    Easily his best, along with The Prestige

  • The Batman

    The Batman

    ★½

    I'm told I'm supposed to like this because Batman is horny in this one, yet the entire movie was tepid and sexless. Bland, unfocused. Couldn't see a thing.
