Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

2025

★★★ Watched

In a near-Trumpian display of narcissistic self-deception, this movie legitimately seems to think the Mission Impossible series has reached a Star Wars level of fandom over the last 30 years.

The Surfer

2024

★★ Watched

Get a load of this- it's Nic Cage in a gonzo performance anchoring a low-budget movie where the director thinks he's really clever but is doing something you've seen a million times before. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?

The Devil on Trial

2023

This could have been a great expose on Ed and Lorraine Warren, and the grift they ran for 50 years. Instead, the filmmakers decided to shit out a totally credulous junk doc starring a hilariously pathetic family of trailer-park boneheads with what one has to assume they thought was a really convincing scam. Absolutely absurd without managing to be interesting. Stay away.

I could say so many thing about this perfect film.

I might argue it’s Tarantino’s best, because he shows a restraint and maturity that he never would again, before or since. I could call out the gorgeous, convoluted construction of the narrative; the perfection of the shot choices, lighting, and framing; the career-best performances of at least four amazing actors. None of it would adequately convey why this movie is so right.

Instead I’ll just mention that the final scene…
