  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  A contemporary spy story that's more in the vein of le Carré than 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' (though there is some of the latter in there too). Confidently plays with its cast of characters and delivers a tight, slick package.

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  A neat sci-fi premise that got swallowed up by a less interesting broad political satire. Loses its way as it loses focus on Mickey.

  Hypocrites 1915

  ★★½ Watched 01 Jan 2021

  boxd.it/ayuAs - Week 1 - Lois Weber

  The spectral embodiment of truth, the narrow steep slope to salvation, and hypocrisy unbound by time. The vignettes start as slow allegories and gradually accelerate into quick scenes of clear themes thrust into your face. Is our Pastor truly above it all or is his vision of himself just another hypocrisy? We never do see Truth's mirror into his soul.
