  You're either in for the madness on this one or out. I was in.

  "How cruel can we be" isn't my kind of horror. Blech.

  Glass Onion 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 23 Nov 2022

  Johnson has yet to make a bad film. Once again we get a delightful mystery wrapped in an entertaining eat the rich screed, an impossibly well timed middle finger to Elon Musk and his ilk, a nice fat twist in the middle and a thoroughly satisfying ending. Disruption indeed.

  Hard Eight 1996

  ★★★★ Rewatched 13 Jun 2022

  PTA before he was PTA. His first father/son exploration, wrapped in noir trappings and probably one of his most straightforward narratives in his brilliant career. Great cast (RIP Philip Baker Hall) and an engaging attempt at redemption from the lead. Jackson brings his usual friendly menace, you can tell he bordered on being typecast after Pulp Fiction in the 90s. Because of the direction Anderson's career has taken, people forget he kicked things off smack dab in the middle of the awesome 90s noir revival with this little gem.
