She loves me more. A decent enough horror movie if you can get past it show its hand early on that the real horror — the true evil — is generational trauma and abuse. Maybe I'm wrong, but momma being the only one that can see the evil and the tale told...

'Murica! Probably a story worth being told but it ends up being a mediocre action movie with a foreign policy disaster as the backdrop.

I turned this on and I hated — HATED — the way it was shot. Then I got over it. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña are fabulous in what amounts to a relentlessly watchable buddy cop movie shot documentary style. Abrasive, gripping, stressful — far exc...

🦌 A lesson about respecting the environment told with the set dressing of a horror film. It succeeds by focusing on the narrative it introduces and avoiding a heavy-handed lecturing directed at the viewer. I loved it. Jesse Plemons is perpetually underr...

A predictable story but a classic nonetheless. An underdog story in every respect and a film that rises above the limitations of its script by virtue of the impassioned performances of its cast. Among the best sports movies ever made.

FUCK That's it. That's all I've got — most of what I've got. A meditation on grief that wraps a loss up in horror, depression, isolation and suicidal ideation. Is any of this real? How could someone you loved disappear so abruptly, violently and leave on...

I can see why this was originally sequenced as a miniseries — it's overlong when presented as a movie. Anchored by Lowe's sober and staid performance as Ben Mears it's perfectly watchable but not outstanding (the rest of the cast is fantastic — Braughe...

A decent action movie buoyed by a strong cast (I always enjoy Chris Cooper). It dances around overt post 9/11 patriotism before tripping all over itself to make a point about how similar both sides are — via Fleury's rapport with Al-Ghazi (played by Jami...

A decent enough action movie buoyed by Affleck and Freeman's performances (the rest of the cast is great too — Schreiber, Moynahan, Rifkin, McGill et al). It's coated in aughts American jingoism and falls into the Tom Clancy trap of bestowing one person ...
