Movie Review: The Fabelmans
5 stars out of 5At some point in the near future I’ll likely dig into what’s real/what’s made up in this movie, but at the moment I honestly don’t care because I’ve just seen a basically perfect film and I want everybody to know! Based loosely on his own life, Steven Spielberg puts his all […]
Movie Review: The Menu
3 stars out of 5I’m loyal. I watch a lot of Seth Meyers, and one of his writers co-wrote The Menu. So I dutifully watched the trailer, which seemed darkly funny. Plus Anya Taylor-Joy-’sGot-Nuts-Mounds-Don’t was in it, and I’m a fan (despite not being impressed with Anya in her pre-Gambit gambit Thoroughbreds). All good enough […]

Movie Review: The Banshees of Inisherin

And with two old pals — Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson — comedically feuding, the whole thing looked like it might […]
Movie Review: Decision to Leave
4 stars out of 5In the mid-aughts, I really meant to see Oldboy. Then in 2013, I missed Spike Lee’s remake of Oldboy. So, Decision to Leave is my first experience with the work of Korean writer/director Park Chan-wook. It took a while into this film but, I’m impressed. The first big chunk of the […]
