  ★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Weird shape, bad plot, and loses its social critique pretty quickly. The satire doesn’t hit because it’s not sharp enough and not funny enough. Movie needed fear

  Manhunter 1986

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  It’s unfair that Mann has so much heart and story skill and also insane style. Very few movies look this good, let alone serial killer/cop ones.

  Nickel Boys 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 20 Dec 2024

  It’s an odd to call a movie as politically charged and emotionally potent as this “controlled” but this is that. Everything Ross wants to say is shown through the filmmaking and his actors, without ever trying to get you to “get it.” But the filmmaking also never gets in the way: of the friendship, of the harshness, and the fact that full and beautiful lives were stolen. The boxing scene and the first meeting of the boys will stay with me for a long time.

  American Fiction 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Jan 2024

  I think I will watch this movie 100 times before I die. So funny and quite emotional honestly. Jeffrey wright and sterling k brown would be in every movie if I were in charge. I could have done with a little less of the romance and family trauma (some of the family stuff was great—the brother relationship and the Lorraine stuff—but I would have been fine with the sister staying alive and the mom storyline going away. But the satire is very good and even the less subtle parts worked for me. Long live Adam Brody as douchebag
