Den of Thieves 2018

★★★½ Rewatched 08 Jan 2025

Think this might be my fave Butler performance.
It’s held up well. Seeing #2 tomorrow. Review Friday.
Se7en 1995

★★★★½ Rewatched 05 Jan 2025

I feel like movies aren’t allowed to just be in their misery as much as this one nowadays. In a remake, Pitt would turn to Freeman and say, “Can you believe all this rain?!?!”
4K presentation is gorgeous but make sure your theater turns it up loud. Mine was way too quiet, especially a thin dialogue mix.

Isle of Dogs 2018

Say ISLE OF DOGS slowly.
Now say I LOVE DOGS slowly.
I just blew your mind.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2017

★★★★½ Watched 09 Sep 2017 27

A man who plays god meets a boy who plays devil.
This is totally my jam.
