  Wonder Boys 2000

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 15 Mar 2025

  Despite having seen this movie numerous times, every scene has an unpredictability that makes me question if I really know what’s coming next. It’s that vitality, combined with a warm familiarity, that makes Wonder Boys one of my favorites.

  Zero Day 2025

  ★★★★★ Watched 07 Mar 2025

  Six episodes of Robert De Niro front and center (and absolutely bringing it in every scene), so I was bound to love it. It’s heightened in a Sorkin-esque way, but it’s still fun to find the real-life parallels (Matthew Modine makes for an excellent Kevin McCarthy).

  Molli and Max in the Future 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2023

  SXSW 2023 - Michael Lukk Litwak’s first feature is an absolute blast! I’m in awe of this kind of meticulous world-building, and I found myself immediately invested in Molli and Max’s future as a couple. The film does the romantic comedy genre proud.

  Also, the practical effects here are so much more pleasing to the eye than the copious amounts of ugly CGI splattered across tentpole movies. Everything feels tangible and real, and I guarantee you the effects will age better than most movies overloaded with millions of dollars of VFX. Go Litwak and team!

  New York Film Festival screening at Alice Tully Hall. Good lord, how I loved this film. What can I even say? The shortest 3 1/2 hours of my life. My heroes banded together for a masterpiece.
