  Hoagie 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  A well-deserved bravo to filmmaker Matt Hewitt for delivering this hilariously twisted, f**ked-up, and disturbing low-fi homage to too many genres to mention. His past films and his recent "Little Bastards" Letterboxd list explain all: boxd.it/DGXXi. Extra props to the totally appreciated and pervasive homoerotic MAGA-turd bashing. TIMELY!

  Megalopolis 2024

  ★★ Watched 23 Sep 2024

  Chinese Theatre IMAX. Wow - incredibly ambitious and gorgeous to look at (this will have its fans), but this will probably go down as one of the colossal cinematic misfires of all times. Glad I saw it in IMAX since I’ve seen every film by this great auteur, but I'm also glad I never have to see this garbled and pompous mess again.
