  Death of a Unicorn 2025

  ★½ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  Unappetizing. While this isn't an outright horror comedy, it has the same, ugly, detached glaze over it. You can just hear the short, breathy laughs of the worst people you've ever met as the le epic kills start stacking up on screen and some promising actor does a glorified ummm he's right behind me, isn't he? straight down the barrel. This is what happens when you give BoJack Horseman six seasons...

  Black Bag 2025

  Watched 21 Mar 2025

  Tense spy thriller released in the last six months set in London where Michael Fassbender fassbends the rules of his employer to ensure the safety of his lover including but not limited to the elimination of a Russian-state military figurehead?

  Yeah, I liked it more when it was called "The Agency" on Paramount+ with Showtime!

  Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile 2019

  ★★½ Added 3

  Extremely Visual, Shockingly Average and Unremarkable. Deserving no more or less praise than any of the various FX limited-series events of the past few years, EWSEaV plays out almost identically: aided by really excellent production design, impaired by avoidably distracting casting, and ultimately amounting to another middle-of-the-road Netflix production.
  Watch this in a theatre if you can, but don't feel guilty when you start it on your laptop while cooking on a weekday and give up on it halfway through.

  Sound of Metal 2019

  me, noticing Mathieu Amalric: "Mathieu Amalric!"

  We had to cancel Shia LeBeouf for Riz Ahmed to take the men's fashion mood board throne.
  All hail.
