  Opus 2025

  ★★½ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  The Menu but sauceless…..half first draft, half A24 cosplay. For a film penned by a former GQ editor who’s spent a career dissecting celebrity and fame, it has surprisingly very little to say. Just some recycled takes. Ayo walks away with the whole thing though

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 19 Sep 2024

  Demented, bonkers, batshit, ride or die cinema. Easily the most fun, unforgettable experience I’ve had in a theater in years—had me in a vice grip the entire runtime and punched way harder than I expected. Four miller high lifes and a 35 min shower couldn’t shake it. Even if the drawn out ending gilded the lily a touch, this was beyond compelling, deeply cine-literate, and most importantly, unapologetically bold. Demi Moore’s performance is career-redefining. Coralie Fargeat is a force and is so sexy for making this. Je t’aime 4ever thank you do it again soon

  Wise Guy: David Chase and The Sopranos 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 Jun 2024

Big love to the the writers’ room that was fueled by hours of ppl shooting shit about toxic, juicy personal stories that obviously ended up on the show. Seeing chunks of episodes on the big screen with hundreds of others was…
