  Black Bag 2025

  Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Michael Fasbender continues to be my fashion icon. Steven Soderberg at his best when he’s making movies about elegant people hatching schemes. One of the most beautiful casts you can ever find is matched by equally as stunning camerawork. 

  The movie mixing spies: one of the most impersonal professions, with marriage: the most personal thing in the world is so interesting.

  Mickey 17 2025

  Watched 06 Mar 2025

  The first of the 2025 “actor playing two different roles in the same movie” Warner Brothers trilogy. Layered, smart, witty, and best of all: original. 

  Robert Pattinson plays with his voice and body language like none other. And Mark Ruffalo really chews up all the scenery he gets. 
  Steven Yeun continues to be such an underrated character actor. 

  It’s nice to see such an interesting concept be explored so well in another brilliant film from Bong Joon Ho.

  Little Death 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 20 Jan 2024

  The real tragedies. Jack Begert’s first feature is a modern and timely look into the drive of humans and mental health. Little Death is filled with impeccable directing, powerful acting, mesmerizing editing, and some awesome music. 

  David Schwimmer is captivating, you feel his dread and angst in every scene. The same can be said for Talia Ryder and Dominic Fike, who are dynamite on screen together. 

  Jack Begert’s music video background helped to create a frenetically introspective and scholarly brilliant arthouse picture. Couldn’t be more excited to see what Jack Begert does next.

  A Different Man 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 21 Jan 2024

  Transformation. A Different Man is a riveting exploration of insecurity through the lens of a ‘70s horror aesthetic. Aaron Schimberg’s Sundance debut is packed with stellar directing, remarkable acting, fascinating writing, and an incredible visual style.

  Sebastian Stan continues to be a fantastic character actor. He embodies every facet of his character with so much depth. His one-sides clashing with Renstate Reinsve and Adam Pearson’s characters is downright outstanding. 

  A Different Man feels like Joker mixed with Flowers for Algernon: a deep psychological dive into appearance and success.
