I love movies but I don’t watch as many as I’d like to. So it goes.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 2024
If this is the last we get from George Miller in the world of Mad Max, what a swan song. Immaculately detailed, colorful and heart pounding action. No one making movies today has enough juice to come up with shit half as cool as Miller is still doing pushing 80 years old. The action choreography is just as phenomenal as Fury Road, and while I don’t think Furiosa quite reaches the heights of that movie (it’s pretty close), it’s undoubtedly…

Nosferatu 2024
Any time a movie gets remade (especially a 100+ year old classic which has been redone ad infinitum), I watch particularly to see if the Director is offering anything new to the story.

It also has a lot of heart. Doesn’t lean too…

Killers of the Flower Moon 2023
Monumentally important and masterfully crafted, Killers of The Flower Moon tells a story of the uniquely American brand of greed, subjugation, and violence. This is a story that needed to be told. The acting, it goes without saying, is incredible. For Martin Scorsese, who is now 80 years old, this film marks a new chapter of his life and career. American crime is familiar territory for him, although not ever has it been this insidious and grotesque and brazen. His…
