52 Pick-Up 1986
Watched as part of an ongoing Doug McClure deep dive. Kids… it’s not even a cameo.
However, from the main performances to the aesthetic and the twisting narrative, I really enjoyed this film. It’s dark and there’s a lot of “know your limits” content, but fans of neo-noir and 80’s exploitation should add this to their lists.

Black Bag 2025
Cate Blanchett can do anything. It’s her world, and we’re all just living in it. This is where I came to Black Bag. Full film nerd disclosure: this critic is shamefully under-viewed as it relates it modern directorial titan Steven Soderbergh. This is something I need to remedy. However, there was something so incredibly cool about this trailer. Something effortless … and much of it had to do with Cate Blanchett and co-lead Michael Fassbender. Is Black Bag the sexy adult spy thriller we desperately need right now? Or should this one just take a cyanide pill?

The Fog 1980
First time watch.
I absolutely loved the world Carpenter creates here. In the first 10 minutes he had me missing late night, oldies radio. There’s something so nostalgic about over night DJs.
While I wanted more from Curtis, having Janet Leigh hanging around more than makes up for it.
I love (what looked to be) a nod to The Thing from Another World in the (redacted for spoilers).
