#20: Sunset (2018) (dir. Lászlò Nemes)
Disorienting, long takes often shot in an immersive, persistent closeup. It's an unrelenting movie that is confusing and challenging in ways that I wish more filmmakers would aim for.
New Movie Reviews (04.07.23)
Capsule reviews for new releases that I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend. If you have to skip one of the bunch, I'd say AIR is exactly what you'd expect but everything else here: big thumbs up!

My Thoughts On Roger Ebert
I'm grateful for all that this legendary writer has done. To call him an inspiration is an understatement.
#19: "All My Friends" - LCD Soundsystem
In which I finally accept that dance music still has a special place in my heart. Especially when it's created by a pudgy dude in his late 40s. This song moves me in two different ways.
#18: Evil Dead 2 (1987) (dir. Sam Raimi)
I had no idea that a camera could do what it does here, until the year 1990 when a local video store let me rent ED2 so I took it home and made my mom very angry.
#17: Cloak and Dagger (1984) (dir. Richard Franklin)
My love of this comes from a geyser of nostalgia and an immeasurable amount of watches when I was younger but I also think this is more than just "Hitchcock for kids."
