    Memories of Murder

    ★★★★

    Great in its own right, and makes the ending of Zodiac work twice as well.

    Cinema.

    It says ‘stay.’

    In prep for daddy’s eventual 11th film, as well as a farewell to my beloved apartment in Manhattan, I came into this watch ready to cry. I did.

    I’m not going to argue that this is Nolan’s tightest film, or even his best, but I will die on the hill that to date, it is the movie that best encompasses his skills as a storyteller. And it’s just great to see him make a movie as good…

    ★★★★★

    One of the many dumb rules I give myself when it comes to my Letterboxd is that I have to watch a film twice before giving it all five stars.

    Today I am breaking that rule, because Fail Safe is flat out one of the greatest pieces of storytelling I have ever beared witness to. Holy fucking shit.

    ★★★★★

    At an appropriate time, I would very much be into another limited series adaptation, preferably on HBO. If it’s on Netflix I will commit arson.

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  • Hundreds of Beavers

    Hundreds of Beavers

    A rare DNF. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I’m an idiot and can’t focus when the Yankees could theoretically made a trade or free agent signing at any minute.

    Will definitely revisit this in the future. This was so so so impressive and clever.

    Juan Soto I miss you so much 💔

    After Hours

    ★★★½

    I go to the building that bookends the movie a lot.

    God I miss New York so much.

    Happy 80th Uncle Al ❤️

    Had the itch to rewatch ever since I saw a clip of Pacino guarding his glasses from falling off a table a couple weeks ago. Twitter, as it turns out, is good for something!!

    Despite having a filmography that scratches a lot of itches for different types of movie watches, it feels like Michael Mann is an underrated filmmaker. When I think of my favorite directors, I don’t even think of him, despite the star…

    Best movie ever? Maybe!

  • Avengers: Endgame

    Avengers: Endgame

    ★★★★

    NOTES REVIEW:
    - Clint’s sons put mayo on their hot dogs. They got what they deserved.

    - Really dig this low key opening of Tony and what’s her face hanging out, waiting to die.

    - “I dream about you. Cuz it’s always you.” Killer line delivery. Downey needs to get some serious dramatic roles now that he’s done with the MCU. Dude’s got chops.

    - “I lost the kid.” Jesus Christ, Downey.

    - I love how emaciated they made Stark.…

    Can’t help but love a nice, taut, morally ambiguous thriller.
