Make movies like the Coens. Live life like Lebowski.

Jim Jarmusch makes everyday chatter feel like poetry. And LG OLED makes black-and-white never looked this good.

Elizabeth Bishop

Even though I don’t 1000% love the plot, there’s no denying that this film is incredibly technically beautiful. THAT fight scene is so exhilarating and watching on an LG OLED TV in Filmmaker Mode made it even more exciting on a rewatch.

I don’t think that Leigh Whannell gets enough credit for the direction in this and The Invisible Man - two of the most interestingly shot films I’ve seen in years, and Logan Marshall Green…

If <Boyhood> is the warmth of sunlight, <Moonlight> is the glow of the moon in darkness. A poetic realism that illuminates the faces of an overlooked America.

I don’t think that Leigh Whannell gets enough credit for the direction in this and The Invisible Man - two of the most interestingly shot films I’ve seen in years, and Logan Marshall Green certainly doesn’t get enough credit for his nuanced performance - the way he can switch between himself and STEM in his body is so unreal to watch.

Off the windswept coast of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, stands the American Star, a ship that became stranded decades ago and has stayed there ever since, abandoned and immobile, apart from the occasional dramatic shift in its position.

Not only does that vessel lend its name to Gonzalo López-Gallego’s moody noir, but it also serves as a metaphorical correlative for the protagonist Wilson (Ian McShane), a similar outsider similarly aged and imive, who has been sent to this…

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

1949

★★★ Liked

The second in John Ford’s Cavalry trilogy is a curiosity for sure; where FORT APACHE is a serious western drama recounting a real-life event in our history, YELLOW RIBBON feels like a side-story goof that the cast and crew decided to put together for fun between takes or after they wrapped because they had some money left over from the previous film….like BLUE IN THE FACE was to Wayne Wang’s SMOKE. 
John Wayne is actually “ACT-ING” as opposed to “RE-ACTING”…

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge

1985

★★★★½ Liked

The outlier of the franchise, 1985's A Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy's Revenge, makes for a darker and grittier companion piece to the original. Despite it breaking every Freddy Krueger rule in the book, it's still fun and features one of the best practical effect gags in horror history (iykyk). As Jesse (Mark Patton) struggles with himself, he must face his fears head-on if he has any chance of survival. Turning on LG OLED's filmmaker mode brings even more detail…
