  Risky Business 1983

  Rewatched 25 Dec 2024

  Classic teen/coming-of-age film. I can’t imagine anyone else in the lead role other than Tom Cruise. It’s one of his best performances. I absolutely love this movie.

  I loved this one and the ending was so poignant. The ending made so much sense for Anora as a character - very revealing. Great characters, great fun.

  The Substance 2024

  Watched 22 Sep 2024

  I’ve been waiting to see this film for a few months now and it exceeded my expectations tremendously. I cringed, I laughed, I gasped - The Substance elicited many different responses from myself as well as my fellow audience members. And underneath all the titillating aerobic scenes, extreme close-ups, and gore-filled action sequences there is actually some relevant commentary on body image, ageism, and self-love, to mention a few. I didn’t know what body horror was before seeing this film, but now I am all for it. Looking forward to seeing more from director Caroline Fargeat. Great film!

  Sing Sing 2023

  Watched 07 Sep 2024

  This was an absolute delight. As an actor myself, I was reminded of the true power of working within an ensemble. It’s to know that you are part of a community, something truly special. Each member of the company there to support the objective as well as the experience. Sing Sing really brought that message to the fore.

  A24 is really leaving its mark on cinema. I was blown away when I found out that many of the characters were actual prisoners only recently released after doing time. That revelation only made the experience more authentic. A Triumph!
