  • Memories of Murder

    Memories of Murder 2003

    ★★★★ Watched 14 Jan 2022

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

    Cinema.

  • Interstellar

    Interstellar 2014

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 23 May 2020

    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…

  • Fail Safe

    Fail Safe 1964

    ★★★★★ Watched 11 Jul 2021

    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.

  • Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

    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.

    Spent the week watching this in pieces and boy did it impress.

    A movie and a show are very different things, so there’s no real reason to compare them. I love them both for different reasons.

    Given the gift of time, the TV show is the truer adaptation of the book (which is my favorite book of all time, as if it needed to be said) but not the better one in my opinion.

    The film tweaks some things, combines…

  • Hundreds of Beavers

    Hundreds of Beavers 2022

    Watched 09 Dec 2024

    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

    After Hours 1985

    ★★★½ Watched 01 May 2020

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

    God I miss New York so much.

  • The Insider

    The Insider 1999

    ★★★★★ Watched 25 Apr 2020

    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…

  • Ocean's Eleven

    Ocean's Eleven 2001

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 02 Aug 2020

    Best movie ever? Maybe!

  • Avengers: Endgame

    Avengers: Endgame 2019

    ★★★★ Rewatched 16 Apr 2020 2

    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.…

    Yeah, cat people are the weird ones.

  • Manhunter

    Manhunter 1986

    ★★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2021

    "You want the scent? Smell yourself."

    Cool as hell, and explains some of the references in Cartman’s Incredible Gift, one of my favorite South Park episodes.

    The needle drops have me on the fence between cool and dumb, but I’m sure I’ll fall on the cool side whenever I rewatch this.

    It amazes me how we’ve been re-living the 80’s for the last five years or so, and the writers/directors of the day are picking some of the lamest stuff about 80s films to pay tribute to. More Thief and Manhunter, less Goonies and Karate Kid.
