  Hopscotch 1980

  ★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  Is it a comedy? Is it a spy thriller? It’s neither! It’s Matthau! (Also extremely my jam; late-period Sellers PINK PANTHER, played straight.)

  The Gutter 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Loved this.  LOVED IT.  Exactly the kind of non sequitur near-cartoon that is designed to live in my brain.  Not quite as slapstick-absurd as the ZAZ films (AIRPLANE, TOP SECRET, NAKED GUN) but it tickles the same ivories.  

  “When did you make that bindle?” killed me dead.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Jan 2025

  Raise your hand if you, too, have a cousin only days younger than you whom you also love dearly like a sibling and simultaneously want to strangle with their own shoelaces.

  Too relatable?

  Red Rock West 1993

  ★★★★ Rewatched 16 May 2020

  Every bit as good as I remembered. Outstanding 90s noir without a single wrong note. Peak JT Walsh.
