Black Bag

2025

★★★½ Liked Watched

You know the man can cook a mean steak, but sometimes you just want a Soderburger.

Juror #2

2024

★★★½ Liked Added

Fascinating morality tale about a man who wants to do the right and just thing but will only go *this* far and no farther to achieve that outcome. And when the responsibility is ultimately laid squarely in his lap, he methodically convinces himself it's a threat to existence. Excellent late-career work from Eastwood and maybe the best performance of Nicholas Hoult's career.

Hit Man

2023

★★★★ Liked Watched

You can watch "Hit Man" as a funny yet overt critique of actors as slightly crazy, borderline psychotic individuals who are constantly in throes of deep identity crises. Or you can watch it as a fun caper with two insanely hot, charismatic leads giving the performances of their careers (to this point, of course).

We might be in the golden age of high concept/low budget/high execution horror movies. This is further proof.
