  • Oppenheimer

    Oppenheimer 2023

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 27 Dec 2023

    Hundreds if not thousands of dorks that were under the age of 16 (myself included) when The Dark Knight came out are vindicated in their obsession.

    Incredible movie, Ludwig Göransson is a god among men.

  • Maestro

    Maestro 2023

    ★★ Watched 20 Dec 2023

    Ah, the dreaded Sophomore Slump.

    Cooper understandably is feeling himself after A Star is Born, one of the finest debuts of recent memory. That movie, blueprint be damned had the energy and ingenuity of someone who’d been working to that point for their entire lives.

    Maestro finds him in both Prestige Director AND Cool Shot mode, which are very dangerous places to be, especially when you’re thrust into the former so quickly.

    The images he and Matthew Libatique compose are…

  • The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial

    The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial 2023

    ★★★★ Watched 09 Dec 2023

    Maybe the key ingredient to making a great movie is just to let Jason Clarke interrogate people with an escalating amount of intensity.

  • The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire 2013

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 26 Nov 2023

    Phil picked his “I guess I should be in a franchise movie here and there” projects like the best of ‘em, and crushed it every time. Miss him.

  • The Hunger Games

    The Hunger Games 2012

    ★★★★ Rewatched 25 Nov 2023

    Say what you will about the filmmaking choices, but the casting is just off-the-charts good. This also made for an interesting watch post Songbirds and Snakes.

    Great concept, great execution, these movies are really good!

  • The Irishman

    The Irishman 2019

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 18 Nov 2023

    I’ve been eager to revisit this after Killers of the Flower Moon. Being only a few minutes longer, it’s interesting to see how Marty utilizes each film’s length and to what purpose.

    Killers spends every available minute immersing you into a time and place that’s been both overlooked and underserved before now, using its final minutes to reckon with its own role in the tragedy-to-entertainment cycle. Irishman puts a character’s glory days and shopping of their own casket 50 years later…

  • Cast Away

    Cast Away 2000

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 12 Nov 2023

    When Chuck came back, someone had to explain Bill Clinton and the cigar to him. That would have been a funny scene.

  • Gosford Park

    Gosford Park 2001

    ★★½ Rewatched 08 Nov 2023

    Bob Altman hangs on a wide shot for over two hours, and the film never changes its pace or tone, which makes the movie feel like you’re going around in circles. A weird one!

  • Halloween III: Season of the Witch

    Halloween III: Season of the Witch 1982

    ★★★½ Watched 31 Oct 2023

  • The Batman

    The Batman 2022

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 21 Oct 2023

    Might not ever get over that Falcone reveal and how clunky and lame it is in a movie that is otherwise perfect.

    Part II soon, please!

  • Sleepy Hollow

    Sleepy Hollow 1999

    ★★★½ Watched 13 Oct 2023
