letterboxd.comA ★★★½ review of Nobody (2021)Watching before Nobody 2: Electric Boogaloo. Disgruntled white guy is disgruntled. Alternate Back to the Future reunion- Few people know that before Michael J. Fox and Eric Stoltz, RZA was originally slated to play Marty MacFly in Back to the Future. RZA and Christopher Lloyd even had a screen test together. RZA ultimately had to drop out because he scraped his knee while training on a skateboard and had to have a band aid and some iodine on it.

PSA: if, like me, you having watched Little Miss Sunshine since it came out 20 years ago please rectify that situation immediately. It’s a glorious bittersweet antidepressant of a film. #Films #Movies

#Watching MICHAEL CLAYTON

Tilda Swinton won her Oscar as a dirty tricks operator and they were three weeks into shooting when Clooney finally stopped calling her Brad Pitt.

letterboxd.comA ★★★★ review of Michael Clayton (2007)One of George Clooney's best performances as a fixer with a crisis of conscience. It feels familiar, but the entire production crackles with life and it rarely feels cliché. Tilda Swinton won her Oscar as a dirty tricks operator and they were three weeks into shooting when Clooney finally stopped calling her Brad Pitt. A wonderful genre exercise with a layered screenplay by Tony Gilroy. 4 (FOUR) Horror Movies George Clooney and Brad Pitt DIDN’T Do and WHY! (LINK Below) hub.me/ar4p3

Doing the ‘back to work tomorrow’ ironing, listening to Classic FM at the Movies and remembering watching Howard Goodall’s fascinating 2006 TV documentary on How Music Works. Opened my eyes to the criticality of the score in relation to setting the mood, anticipation and dramatic effect in films.

#Watching THE MESSENGER

Luc Besson's hollow spectacle that's epic in length only. It would be too easy to say this movie should be burned at the stake so I won't say it.

letterboxd.comA ★★ review of The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999)Luc Besson's hollow spectacle that's epic in length only. Compentently shot battle sequences are the only thing keeping you awake watching this empty slog. Dustin Hoffman was hired to deliver exposition and for the camera to look up his nostrils during every scene. Milla Jovovich is way out of her depth and will make no one forget about Falconetti or Jean Seberg. To be fair, the script does her no favors as her Joan looks like her mind broke and she talked to the sky a lot. It would be too easy to say this movie should be burned at

#Watching THE HUNT

Filled with scenes of "ordinary" people doing horrific things. One of those movies that makes you grateful that everyone is so kind and understanding to each other now.

letterboxd.comA ★★★★★ review of The Hunt (2012)Unsettling in its mundanity, The Hunt hits you where it hurts, but aren't a lot of scenes of showy acting. There are small revelations that add up to a thoroughly devastating experience. One of Mads Mikkelsen's best performances. I'm used to seeing him play emotionally loud characters most of the time. It's surprising to see play such an ordinary guy crushed under the weight of circumstance. A scene in a church is one of the scariest things I've ever seen on film and a reminder of why I haven't entered a church in decades and it's not because when I

Question for cinemaphiles with fancy TVs — does 4K improve the experience of watching older #films? I mean everything from silents to indies shot on 35mm or even 16mm. Will “Bob L’Flambeur” and “Slacker” have new depths revealed or will they look like digital garbage?

(Yes, I will turn off the frame smoothing effect first chance I get)

#Watching THE LUCKIEST MAN IN AMERICA

80s game show scandal that dramatizes something that doesn't feel like a big deal in 2025.

You've seen worse things involving ice cream trucks.

letterboxd.comA ★★★ review of The Luckiest Man in America (2024)80s game show scandal that dramatizes something that doesn't feel like a big deal in 2025. Paul Walter Hauser remains one of our best character actors making us kind of sympathize with a pathetic grifter named Michael. Walton Goggins surprises by not going over the top. A story you probably didn't hear about if you were born this century and it plays well enough for its 90 minute runtime. You've seen worse things involving ice cream trucks.
