Sometimes I really struggle with like the whole concept of life and the world and human relationships and how complex and intangible and messy this earthly existence can be. But then you see a film like this that somehow manages to be succinct in its exploration of the abounding intricacies of living and loving and grieving and I am reminded that no matter how complicated and unknowable things get, the simple truth of the matter is that playing the steel drum instrumental of 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P.” on repeat should be considered one of the clearest signs of catastrophic mental decline.

Boundin' 2003
This is a movie about resilience, about standing up and owning who you are, about taking accountability for your life, picking yourself up when you fall and never letting the bastards get you down. It’s also about a Jackalope with a fat ass who would absolutely commit credit card fraud.

I’m not exaggerating when I say the entire movie theatre was crying when the lights came up.

Citizen Kane 1941
Imagine sitting in a cinema in 1941 and watching the Rosebud reveal before it became one of the most famous pop cultural references of all time.

Okay so here’s the thing: obviously this movie is incredible.
Here’s the other thing: the choc tops at the Astor are dog shit — The cone has the consistency of cardboard and the cream is icy and unforgiving. Frozen confectionary is important to me.

Megalopolis 2024
Oh man this thing defies a star rating just like it defies any kind of sense or logic. I really can’t believe what I just watched. I laughed, I groaned, I muttered “what the fuck” under my breath too many times to count. The part where the lights came up slightly for a cinema employee to mime one line of off screen dialogue was so unbelievably self indulgent and disruptive to the storytelling. Truly the most bizarre cinematic experience I have ever taken part in and I’m so thankful for it.
