    I worked on this movie. 

    I torrented it because they didn’t pay my OT or meal penalties.

    Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage

    Wow. It's not often you can say "What the fuck where they going for?" in a documentary, but here we are.

    Now, you may be surprised by this, but it turns out a Bill Simmons product manages to completely whiff it when it comes to any sort of cultural commentary and certainly leaves behind any sort of cultural perspective. It's legit surprising that a doc lead by a guy who says "I'm glad things are changing, but maybe are we…

    A FILM BY ELIZABETH BANKS

    And

    DIRECTED BY ELIZABETH BANKS

    Both appear in the opening titles. Banks has been involved in 280 projects according to IMDB, but may have never seen a movie before. Absolutely dull and lifeless, and worse of all: boring. My God. This movie is 95 minutes but feels like 3 hours! Finally a mess, with characters that Kansas City’s 5-th ranked Thursday night improv troupe would say need fleshing out. Who are we supposed to give…

    Oh a Miss Cleo doc! This’ll be interesting!



    Oh, I guess not.

    People finding things in a well-organized and somewhat bright Burbank Fry’s? Yup, this is one of the most outlandish sci-fi films I’ve ever seen.

    Kanye With Special Guest Drake - Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert

    ★★★★★

    This is supposed to commemorate Kanye and Drake patching things up and moving forward - but it feels like besides Kanye doing a Drake song and Drake doing a Kanye song that they didn't exchange too many notes. Kanye comes out and does an hour of songs that basically transformed music and pop culture as we know it, to be followed up with Drake doing a bunch of low energy songs from his latest lackluster effort. There's a world in…

  • Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In

    Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In

    ★★★★★

    TRACY ZOOMS IN is the peak of everything - the singularity- where abject hypercapitalism eats itself and becomes art for art’s sake unto itself. 10/10  Naked pleas to make a movie, premature demands for specifics, tearing down a dead man who won an Oscar for the work. Pure anti-cinema that Godard and Tim and Eric aspired to.

    Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning

    ★★★★★

    A few things:

    - Incredibly insensitive beginning regarding recent events in the news. While the victims are still mourning their loved ones and not getting Tom DeLinge’s autograph. Can’t believe Paramount and Tom Cruise let this happen. 

    - Is that the same party as in John Wick 2?

    - This franchise has reached a point where Ethan has done nearly every kind of stunt possible, so when he does a new insane one they have to weave a callback to…

    HOLY SHIT. THIS IS A MASTERPIECE. 

    INCREDIBLE ON EVERY LEVEL

    My God... A love letter to DTLA... we never thought we would see the day...

    Alright, alright.

    So there's been several ad campaigns from a mouse-driven company that describes movies like JUNGLE CRUISE as "the movie we need right now". No. AMBULANCE is the movie we need right now.

    In 1998 Siskel and Ebert eviscerated ARMAGEDDON in what seems to have been their highest rated episode by several orders of…

    Hamlet 2

    I was surprised to see this show up on Max. Decided to throw it on while waiting for something to see how it held up - as you can imagine there’s a lot of stuff from 2008 that doesn’t hold up today, and it’s so interesting that it feels like all that stuff, for the most part, is awkward in the moment. Like they knew that the clock was counting down for this gag or this phrase and we’d better…

    A horror movie about something actually scary instead of an invincible monster coming to get you. Strong emotional core, resonates deeply. Super well made. I loved it.

    What the fuck is this movie?

    How did so many people sign off on this?


    Why did we basically never see the downside of any of these wishes if it was going to be the motivating force of the back half of this? Like there was no downside to Chris Pine being back...


    Why did they say that if Pedro Pascal got rid of his wish then all the other wishes would be removed, only to have him renounce his…
