  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Another 6/10 Soderbergh experience. The dude consistently cranks out solid flicks I’ll forget in a year. He’s like the guy hitting .289 with a bunch of doubles and handful of homers. Not gonna win you a pennant, but good to have on your team.

  But Morricone won’t let you get far away. The often eye-rolling, insufferable inner monologue is erased by the music, saying all that needs to be said.

  Bloodline 1979

  ½ Watched 08 Mar 2021

  This movie should be seen by no one. Erased from history, burned from the memory of anyone who had the misfortune of witnessing the tremendous bore of Bloodline. This is the worst directed movie I've ever seen with multiple Academy Award winners in lead roles. Forget questioning any artistic choices or lack of tension, there are straight up technical mistakes you don't see in student films. Eye lines don't match. Transitions are (apparently) optional.

  I could highlight each awful misstep,…
