I wish I liked this more. I liked Blunt & Gosling’s easy chemistry, but their scenes together were so shaggy, I honestly stopped listening. It was fun seeing Sydney (because then I got to say “So Ryder’s flat is in the Overseas Passnger Terminal? And the club’s in Museum Station?”), and yay stunts, but the ending was entirely devoid of stakes or danger. Sexy bacon.

Rebel Ridge 2024
Reminds me of The Night Of, where the towering height of bureaucracy is as much of a challenge as the violence; of First Blood, where the small town cop picks God’s Largest Man to bully; and of Hancock, where it completely falls apart in the second half.
If you can, seek out the TikTok videos where AnnaSophia Robb excitedly explains to Aaron Paul what Letterboxd is.

The Wild Racers 1968
Shot guerrilla style, mostly without permits by Daniel Haller and Roger Corman, this is an odd little relic. I feel like they tried to make a racing film, and instead made a New Wave film. Incredibly fast cuts, and loads of them, for everything from racing to dinner scenes. Most of the dialogue is voice over, so the same conversation will continue over multiple locations. Incongruous sound effects, repeated lines, spliced in frames… it’s art by accident, with the barest whiff of a story. I can’t recommend it, but I kind of want to discuss it.
