  Opus 2025

  ★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  An unfortunately stale take on a premise that has quickly started to wear out its welcome.
  Much love to Ayo and her Radiohead shirt, though!

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  Came in a little skeptical only to be reminded almost instantly: I’m an absolute sucker for this shit. Soderbergh went Oceans mode, from the stacked cast down to the David Holmes score.

  And what is cooler than shooting on location??

  Keep em coming, Steven, I’ll be seated.

  Tetris 2023

  ★ Watched 02 Apr 2023

  Some highlights:
  - Two main characters are the brother and father of GHISLAINE MAXWELL
  - The primary antagonist is the reviewbrah guy from YouTube
  - There is - for no discernible reason - a car chase scene involving the president of Nintendo of America
  - A majority of the plot revolves around contract negotiation with stakes so low you'll wish you were watching The Phantom Menace

  This is some Triumph of the Will-level corporate propaganda (without the cinematic integrity). When the US empire collapses they should make a movie about the bizarre back-door intelligence peddling that got this movie made.

  “Okay so what if we took four movies and put them into one movie and didn’t resolve any of the interesting questions we set up??”
