  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Fun, fast paced spy thriller that’s 60% Le carre 40% bond. Never stops moving at about ~90 minutes, but wished they spent the 10 extra minutes at the end to have a more natural resolution than the expository aha moment. 

  Great cast all around.

  North by Northwest 1959

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Cinematography is unbelievable, UN overhead shot and wide shot in Indiana my two favorites. Grant is a little too schlocky for me, but overall holds up well for 66 yo movie. 

  Grew up on the Bond movies, so this seems smaller than those, but Bond is obviously derivative of it so can’t hold that against it.

  What if bob Dylan was autistic?

  Looks good sounds good, but in terms of story it’s just okay.

  Chappaquiddick 2017

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Jan 2025

  Looks great, Jason Clarke is great. Ed Helms is all over the place; both with accent and acting. 

  Death scenes were gratuitous. Good b movie.
