  • Knives Out

    Knives Out 2019

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 01 Mar 2020

    If we want to talk about directorial hot streaks, you can't do much better than Looper, The Last Jedi and Knives Out.

    Not a doubt in the world Rian will make it 4 in a row with whatever it ends up being.

  • The Wolf of Wall Street

    The Wolf of Wall Street 2013

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 22 Feb 2021

    Marty Scorsese gives a guided tour through a level of hell Dante couldn’t anticipate in his dizziest daydream.

    Wolf, Fight Club and probably Joker all belong in the Half of the Audience Missed The Point Hall of Fame, which I have decided is a thing.

  • Gone Girl

    Gone Girl 2014

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 21 Oct 2020

    Fincher remains the GOAT.

    I saw this on a first date and we somehow didn't break up until a month afterwards. Wild times.

    One of the all-time saturday afternoon movies. Fincher!

  • Little Women

    Perfect movie.

  • Forrest Gump

    Forrest Gump 1994

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 15 Jun 2019 6

    The snarkiness that’s been directed at this over the last few years is completely undeserved. Listen up nerds, this isn’t as loud of a statement as Pulp Fiction was but I think it goes toe-to-toe with Shawshank on a dramatic level.

    The unending charm and sweetness that eminates from Forrest Gump is just irresistable to me. Hanks, Roth and Zemeckis really delivered something really special here, and I think it’s legacy as a quintessential American movie will stand the test of time. Shawshank and Pulp’s will too. There’s enough room at the table for everyone.

  • Se7en

    Se7en 1995

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 16 Feb 2024

    The serial killer genre probably ended with this because there was simply nothing more that could be said or done.

  • The Godfather

    The Godfather 1972

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Dec 2020

    Watched as a lead up to Coppola’s new cut of III (which @mods should be on LB) and damn, what a picture.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: absolutely nothing beats a death montage.

  • Shutter Island

    Shutter Island 2010

    ★★★★ Rewatched 09 Oct 2019

    You came here for the truth. Here it is.

    Fascinating for Scorsese to pick for this phase of his career. The master of films without traditional plots adapts a story so dense it’s meaning changes completely from watch to re-watch.

  • Blade Runner 2049

    Blade Runner 2049 2017

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 18 Feb 2020

    Current drunk me: this is a fucking masterpiece bro oh my god. Denis punch me daddy. Ryan bash my face in. Roger knock my fucking teeth out.

    Future sober me: Blade Runner 2049 is what all sequels should aspire to be. It expands upon the world set up by the original, mining a deeper meaning while expanding the scope of the original, a gold standard of sci-fi storytelling. Can be watched on a loop until oblivion.

  • Blade Runner 2049

    Blade Runner 2049 2017

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 22 Sep 2020

    Bumping this up to the Full Five, baby.

    Should have done it in February but I was too drunk to remember.

    I’m sure Dune will be fine and all, but for my money Blade Runner 2049 will remain Denis’s great sci-fi adaptation. 

    But as good of a job he does directing (holy shit these #lewks) it’s Hampton Fancher and Michael Green’s script that really brings this home. Very few sequels justify their existence from a storytelling perspective, which makes me…

  • Arrival

    Arrival 2016

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 12 Feb 2020

    Simply one of the most luscious, invigorating, smart, and devastating science fiction films ever made.

    Come back to me.

    Every frame of this is perfection, and it might not even be my favorite Denis film. That's TBD until after I rewatch BR2049. Even if it’s #2, goddamn it is this great.
