  The Apprentice 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Great acting. Dialogue is impressive and drives the film. Not sure how I felt about the inconsistent stylization but generally looked pretty good? Story left a bit to be desired just in terms of what it covered but I get that it had to be hyper focused on a specific period to work as the sort of movie it wanted to be. It’s solid.

  No Other Land 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 Feb 2025 1

  The image of an elementary school being torn apart by a bulldozer. Someone shot in the stomach for standing on their own land.
  A baby growing up in a cave. And now an 
  active genocide while we “don’t take sides”.

  Fuck Israel. Fuck the IDF. Fuck Zionism. 
  Fuck the settlers. Fuck the United States. 
  The world is full of evil.

  Out of the Past 1947

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 Feb 2025 5

  The best noir I’ve seen. Mitchum has ungodly levels of swag. Kirk Douglas is such a good villain. Jane Greer is the ultimate femme fatale. Just about the tightest pacing and dialogue I’ve ever experienced, to the point where I think I’ll need a rewatch to fully appreciate it as a masterpiece. 
  The plot is so meticulously crafted and has you constantly catching up with it, which is ideal for a movie like this. Such a great time seeing this at a sold out Siff Downtown. Will be watching again.
