    Bro movie, cybernetic Taken™, karate wielding hotshots killing people with sneezes, vintage cars, dark alleys, dark red, a bar called “Bad Bones” or “Old Bones” or something, knives, bad haircuts, cops with drones and a loving mother. Whew

    The Gorge

    ★★★★

    Very cool alternate history, eldritch horror kinda science fiction. Anya Taylor Joy and Miles Teller have absolutely incredible chemistry throughout. Charisma off the charts. Not to mention a great soundtrack. 

    It’s too bad this was a direct-to-Apple release, I think it would’ve been insanely fun to watch in a movie theater. It feels like a 2012 blockbuster that I would rewatch every time I see it playing on cable.

    ★★★½

    Jason Bateman god tier playing-the-straight-man performance. Kevin Spacey with the most laugh out loud moments per second on screen (RIP). Chris Pine punchable as ever and - wait for it - Christoph Waltz jump scare? Oh yup

    ★★★★★

    Best film of 2023. Phenomenally acted, beautifully shot, engagingly written. Shove your criticisms up your ass. I haven’t had this much fun in a movie theater in a very long time.. Saltburn is dark, hysterical, sad and everything in between. Career high performances from Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi. I loved this as a spectacle- Saltburn is acid rock fireworks set to recession era pop 

    Also glad to get a lil Aemon Targaryen cameo
