This absolutely blew me away.

If the appreciation of food was a religion this would be sacred text. I think this might be the best depiction of food and hospitality I've seen.

I've worked at flat tops and hot burners, sipped shift drinks out of deli containers. I've crushed the rush and been crushed by it. I have been called pendejo with love so many times and shared many a cigarette with kindred souls in parking lots under the…

Mulholland Drive

2001

★★★★★ Liked Watched

I had a dream once that I was a bird.

I could glide through the sky with ease.

My songs carried sweetly in the warm summer air, my feathers gleamed in the sun.

I was free and more than that, I would never be anything but free.

1993

★★★★ Liked Watched

It's a love letter to the films that get us through the real life struggles that lie in wait for us beyond the theater doors.

John Goodman is perfect for this role a Barnum type with a heart. Cathy Moriarty as the cynical partner is also a perfect foil and the scenes with the two are my favorites

The story is simple but full of warmth and love and despite the missile crisis setting remains a comfort watch

A message I generally agree with presented in the most irritating way possible.

The Substance

There's something special about body horror as a genre because to have a body is to know true horror. If you don't believe that statement come back in 5 years and read it again.

The Substance dives into all of this in a manner that does the likes of Raimi, Jackson, Gordon and Yunza proud. It is goopy and intense AF and it pulls absolutely no punches.

Demi Moore turns in the performance of a lifetime and this script is…
