Blood Simple

1984

★★★★½ Watched

How have I not seen this movie before?
40 years later and it STILL holds up. In pace, in camera movement, in story, in tension. I’d watch this over 90% of the movies made today.

Made in Italy

2020

Watched

A horrendously cliche, slow script performed by a real father and son whom you’d expect to have more chemistry on screen. I only gave it a star because the Italian backdrop was beautiful. But even that could’ve been shot in a way to more flattering manner. I was so bored. The score and camera work get so 2005. I’m shocked this movie was from 2020

Saltburn

★★★ Watched

Beautifully shot. Wonderful acting. But the way the ending unfolded just didn’t come together for me. It didn’t quite hit the mark.

Stop Making Sense

1984

★★★★ Watched

As a person who wasn’t too familiar with the Talking Heads, I was pleasantly surprised being that their concert film could leave me so full of joy and awe. What an experience!
