This might be my favorite Dan Akroyd performance. It’s a take as insane as he is in this movie, but I’m here for it!

Unbroken 2014
I’m just so grateful that it wasn’t a Christian film. Everything else about it is serviceable without being exemplary. But every time they got close to “faith-based film” material, they swerved away and left it to a title card. Maybe it’s everything that has recently been going on in the world, but I was very relieved that the main character’s motivation was overcoming oppression and not blind faith.

House of Gucci 2021
Jeremy Irons was excellent. The rest of the movie needs more Jared Leto, or at least more performances like his. (Shocking, I know.)
The dramatic through line was poorly paced and rushed/abridged at its conclusion. If you’re gonna have Irons and Pacino, sharing scenes as brothers, and Leto and Driver sharing scenes with them as their sons… and no one has a similar accent, why couldn’t we lean more into camp? Half the cast was bringing it, the other half… -

Venom: Let There Be Carnage 2021
I wish there was no villain and we just got two hours of Venom and Eddie Brock navigating sit-com sequence plots as they learn to live together.

Wrath of Man 2021
Just awful in terms of Guy Richie, Jason Statham, and Heat knockoffs. This is so much more pretentious than it needed to be.

Robin Hood 2018
I didn’t need the Iraq War version of Robin Hood, but at least it’s something different.
