Rehearsals for Retirement 2007
Though through its gameplay Grand Theft Auto San Andreas may seem entirely player-driven it's still a carefully-coded concert of pixels. The player cannot traverse the digital without clearly pre-determined intervention. Every step animated before it has even been taken. The chaos of the open world is merely a series of textures gliding like shadow puppets across the overlapping axes of play. Rehearsals For Retirement plays with Take Two's continuous pursuit of the hyper-real, even beyond 2007 and into (hopefully) 2025's…

Secrets & Lies 1996
Defined solidly by our presence in the here and now and what we drag along from every moment before it. A photo only gives us so much information. A snapshot of time free of the baggage of the past. Yet still we might ponder what lies outside of the frame. What scars sit upon the other cheek. The most we can know about another person might always be limited to what they choose to present.
You're dropped in medias res…

Mission: Impossible – Fallout 2018
I don't even really need to share my rating for this film. It will never shift. It's the best action movie ever made. I don't mean it figuratively when I say I'm breathless at the end. It is a conscious drive to draw air. Ethan Hunt is one of my favourite characters ever. Here he's a symbol of faith (maybe drawing a little too closely to christ-like), not merely the final boss that nuclear terrorists must face in their pursuit of martyrdom, but the last bastion of a humanity threatened by suffocating systems of automation and artifical intelligences that sublimate lived experience and feeling.

Werewolf by Night 2022
I really don't see what was apparently so special about this? In what way is this any different from anything the MCU has ever put out?
Oh wow it (barely) looks like an old Universal monster movie, con-fucking-gratulations Marvel, you did the bare minimum!!!!

The Fanatic 2019
Hearing John Travolta say he needs a poo is not something I wanted.
