  Crimson Tide 1995

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 20 Mar 2025

  Ridley may have had the slightly higher highs, but I'd take a random Tony Scott film on any given night.

  The principals are great obviously, but that's a proper supporting cast too. Fun pub game to recast a fantasy remake, Denzel moves into the Ramsey role but after that.........

  Piercing 2018

  ★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Curious little thing, if pretty underdeveloped. The giallo greatest hits soundtrack is instant mood, and I wonder how much that contributed to my enjoyment. Mia W is great, as per. Christopher Abbott does tend to end up in these odd little two handers.

  Simple story, profound implications. Best meeting scene of 2024 outside of Dahomey.

  Today's rewatch brought on by the Mubi podcast.

  Christ, Friedkin really was one of the greatest to ever point a camera.
