Snow White 2025
I really had a good time in the theatre for this, some little boy joy when Heigh-Ho came on for sure. I thought the heart of the story was there with some much needed updates.

Some of the interview opportunities just seemed unnatural. I’m surprised this won the Oscar, hard not to compare it to the masterpiece that won last year “The Last Repair Shop.”

Rotting in the Sun 2023
A brilliant and unique look into issues of unfairness between social classes, how thoughts on death can effect how we live and problems with how many of us rely on social media/other people for validation. And all of that is done in a subtle way within a complex and never dull story.
Sebastián Silva made so many incredible choices. The setting, pacing, plot twists and boldness in messaging.
Rarely have I seen someone as willing as Jordan Firstman to put…
