    Brokeback Mountain

    ★★★★½

    This movie's place in the canon is probably something along the lines of "The Gay Cowboy Movie That Should Have Won Best Picture". I wasn't expecting so much interiority from it, though.

    New Titane just dropped and, folks, she's disgusting.

    Go in as cold as possible. Contender for funniest movie of the year.

    Foley artist earns the hell out of that full-screen solo credit.
