I love a good mix of high brow and low brow.
I hate war films.

Materialists

2025

★★★★ Liked Watched

An adult rom com about adults, shot beautifully. I just love Celine Song. She's two for two.

The Phoenician Scheme

2025

★★★ Watched

I just want...some emotion. I know that's not Wes's thing but I need a little something more.

Good Night, and Good Luck

2025

★★★ Watched

The play itself and production is dull and paint by numbers. But the message is strong. Sometimes I think being preachy is not a bad thing to get a clear point across. That being said, I will probably forget most of this nearly immediately.

And bravo to CNN for filming/broadcasting this around the world. More of this for plays of all size. Every production deserves the same level or archival effort.

The Iron Claw

Wooooooooof.

Trauma porn from start to finish.

I don't understand the stakes of anything. Maybe I am just ill-informed, but isn't wrestling all fake? So winning heavy weight champion is not up to talent of wrestling, but plotting by the writers/creators?

I feel like it did not focus enough on how this father essentially murdered his children and was so fucking toxic. And the mother did nothing to stop it either, or at least that's how it's portrayed in this with one dimensional characters. One of the most infuriating experiences in the cinema all year.

Some nice camera work/cinematography, and some nice performances from the guys.
