Regardless of genre or budget, i think all movies have a right to artistic merit. Average retrofuturism enjoyer.

The Irishman 2019
The Irishman is a reflection on director Martin Scorsese's career-wide fascination with organized crime, a capstone work that draws from both his own filmography and the gangster genre as a whole.
The film is a deeply personal meditation on power, legacy, and ultimately mortality, as many of the characters we meet are introduced with an on-screen epitaph before they utter a word. It's been said in countless gangster movies before that the only way to exit the mob is either…

The Electric State 2025
Anti-cinema.
Those who know me and my sensibilities will know that it takes a special level of fuck-up to craft a sentimental sci fi movie starring robots and still have me come away being unmoved.

Captain America: Brave New World 2025

Exciting, absurd, and utterly sincere to what its roots are, King of the Monsters is a treat of a summer movie.
Michael Dougherty strays far away from the minimalist faux-indie vibe of Gareth Edwards' first film, going all-in on the monster battles that audiences were deprived of.
While the first movie tried to present a scenario where Godzilla enters the real world, King of the Monsters fully embraces the concept and is a lore-filled world where titanic creatures are a…

Megalopolis 2024
Strange.
An incredibly dense and occasionally impenetrable modern fable that begs to be discussed, analyzed, and ultimately understood as the grand thesis statement on mankind's capacity for greatness that it is.
Coppola's singular vision doesn't by default make this any more or less artful than it already is, but being fully onboard for the hyperreal, ultra-literal symbolism of this world he's crafted makes all the allegory and philosophy to down a little easier.
One of the more frustrating aspects surrounding…
