    ★½

    The fact that the same director who made Deliverance also made Zardoz will never not amaze me.

  • Magnolia

    Magnolia

    ★★★

    Like much of his filmography, PTA puts scene construction and acting first and foremost. Unfortunately, he needs screenwriters that can construct a narrative story. 

    Magnolia falls short of Anderson’s true gems; There Will be Blood and Boogie Nights, landing amongst Licorice Pizza and Inherent Vice.

    Gladiator II

    Ridley Scott is taking historic events that I have always dreamed of seeing on the big screen, like the battle of Austerlitz and the flooding of the Colosseum, and covering them in literal shit.

    I can only hope studio execs don’t attribute a lukewarm reception to Scott’s historical epics as a lack of interest in the time periods depicted. The man must be stopped.
