    What if Robert Rodriguez ripped off CURE? That's right it would suck really hard.

  • The Covenant

    ★★★½

    I'll be honest I would not have expected Guy Ritchie to so successfully mash-up Peter Berg and John Ford but here we are. He's an erratic filmmaker but this is, what, his 2nd or 3rd best movie?

  • Starting Over

    Starting Over

    ★★★½

    So Brooks-ian it's almost impossible to believe it was directed by the guy who made PARALLAX VIEW and ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN. On the other hand I don't think it's served well by mostly sticking to Reynolds' POV (he might also be miscast although I appreciate the swing), and I also don't think Brooks would ever let Bergen's character be so desperately needy today. Clayburgh however is giving an all-timer, a quintessentially self-critical Brooks character overpowered by doubt and motivated by insight. Almost a great movie.

    Come for the juvenile sarcasm, stay for the animal torture! And the friendship. Fun movie.

    ★★★★

    Deeply suspenseful, downright Hawks-ian procedural of collectivism, spiritual community, and professional expertise. Outstanding.

    Like an extra long episode of Mandalorian except good.

  • How to Blow Up a Pipeline

    How to Blow Up a Pipeline

    ★★★½

    As exciting and procedural as I was begging Reichardt's NIGHT MOVES to be but also I wish the characters would shut the fuck up. Still, the didacticism is baked into the project. Almost great!
