Disappointments and surprises this week. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Theaters are likely going away, at least how we’ve known them for the past 100+ years. Streaming is here, and everyone has a big T.V., so even though we can’t replicate the theater experience exactly in our homes, we can come close. This means studiosContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga / Baby Reindeer / I Saw the TV Glow / Snack Shack / Conan Must Go / The Contestant”

Top 100 Films of 2000s: Part 5 (#60-51)
Around the time I started this site, I did a “Top 100 of the 1990s” with the intention of doing a new decade every year. I had meant to do a new decade every year, but as with life, stuff came up.

2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Civil War / The First Omen / Curb Your Enthusiasm / Regime / Ripley
Only one stinker this week. Civil War My first thought after leaving the theater showing Civil War was, “I wonder how this movie will fare in 10 years?” I have a sneaking suspicion it will all but mostly be forgotten about. This isn’t to say Alex Garland (Men, Annihilation, Ex-Machina) has made a bad film because he hasn’t. He’sContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Civil War / The First Omen / Curb Your Enthusiasm / Regime / Ripley”

2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Monkey Man / Immaculate / Road House / The Truth vs Alex Jones / The Program / You’ll Never Find Me
Nothing is particularly great this week. Monkey Man If there was ever a ‘kitchen sink’ movie, it’s Monkey Man, the debut feature of underrated young actor-turned-writer/director/producer Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire, The Green Knight, Lion). While it often feels like fourteen different movies starting and stopping throughout a 113-minute runtime, it’s more or less a hyper-stylized revenge tale. When aContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Monkey Man / Immaculate / Road House / The Truth vs Alex Jones / The Program / You’ll Never Find Me”

2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Dune Part Two / Perfect Days / Dark Harvest / Nowhere
3 indies and an E-P-I-C. Dune Part Two Dune Part Two is a tremendous and moving visual experience that must be had in a movie theater. I regret not seeing it in IMAX, even though those hard, skinny seats are hell on my back. I saw it at Majestic, a Phoenix-based, independently-owned theater chain that took overContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Dune Part Two / Perfect Days / Dark Harvest / Nowhere”
2024 TV & Movie Reviews: True Detective: Night Country / The Taste of Things / How to Have Sex / Suitable Flesh / The Doom Generation / Lover Stalker Killer
Just Bs and Cs this week. True Detective: Night Country I had reasonably high expectations for a series starring Jodie Foster, produced by Moonlight‘s Barry Jenkins, and written and directed by talented filmmaker Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid). The biggest detractor for me was that Night Country was sporting the True Detective brand, which hasn’t meant much since the first and best seasonContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: True Detective: Night Country / The Taste of Things / How to Have Sex / Suitable Flesh / The Doom Generation / Lover Stalker Killer”
