The Zone of Interest 2023 The banality of evil on unassuming display. To me, this is much more powerful - and insightful - than a more dramatic offering. Think critically. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Dream Scenario 2023 Such a great idea and well executed until the end. Somehow all my favorite roles for Cage have him portraying damaged, floundering men. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Bottoms 2023 Sharp, funny, angsty, absurd and irreverent in the best ways. A great high school comedy. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

My Cousin Vinny 1992 Pesci’s cosmetics are distracting, but this is an otherwise near-perfect courtroom comedy featuring peak Pesci and Tomei. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Twins 1988 The “big guy” and “small guy” Hollywood icons of their day buddy up for this odd-couple dramedy. Deeper than I remembered, but still a little too shallow and uneven to break free of its own zeitgeist. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Babylon 2022 “One tear or two?” Loud, obvious, and self-indulgent. Also a lavishly produced portal into early Hollywood magic and excess. A beautiful love letter that labors its point. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Emily the Criminal 2022 I expected a twist but I think I’m happier without one. What begins as desperation, evolves into habit. Plaza was well-cast. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Austin Powers 1997/1999/2002 A send-up of the tropey spy films of the 60s and 70s. The first shows the most thought, the second exemplifies its best gags, and the third is sloppy but fun-focused. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Blue Jasmine 2013 Woody Allen flicks reliably give me the sense of life unfolding rather than a story being told. Plot feels unimportant, but this one deals with class, betrayal, and delusion among other themes. Blanchett, in particular, is at her very best. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Slap Shot 1977 I really feel like the toupee deserved cast credit here. A failing hockey team does what they can to claw back a little dignity in what might be their final season. Solid sports flick, but very of-its-time. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Life 1999 The unlikely friendship and legacy of two men determined to make the most out of life despite the injustice thrown at them. Strong production, cast, and concept, but the sanitized comedic approach to serious material watered it all down for me. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Cyrus 2010 Interesting watch. Felt like a dud at first and then I took an interest in the way each character’s own poor boundaries intermix. Then it made an obvious choice I didn’t like before eventually resolving it in a totally okish way. Meh? Tomei carries this. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

The Tragedy of Macbeth 2021 A strong effort as Shakespeare productions go. As usual, I quibble with some of the line delivery. Shakespeare has a way of tripping up the best of actors, so kudos here to Kathryn Hunter and Stephen Root for their standout performances. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

She Dies Tomorrow 2020 Spotty performances. Existential dread. Requiem on repeat. Vague, ineffective ambiguity. This was a subpar effort for me. Though it was nice to see Michelle Rodriguez play against type for once. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Kajillionaire 2020 I can’t quite decide where I land with this one. The concept is creative and interesting enough to justify its surreal approach. Its overall execution is pretty strong. There are many good moments. I found it mostly dull. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Honey Boy 2019 Semi-autobiographical exploration of a dysfunctional child/father relationship, the role of trauma in addiction, and the peculiar institution of child acting. LeBeouf is excellent, but the child lead puts on the most memorable performance here. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Brawl in Cell Block 99 2017 Gritty, brutal, minimalist power-fantasy fare with a stoic, anti-hero lead. Entertaining and competent enough, but it seems to stray further into might-makes-right territory than I’m comfortable with. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 1954 Its treatment of turtles is distressing, but I’m otherwise very fond of this effort to bring Verne’s seafaring fantasy to the screen. The Nautilus itself is a great character and its blockbuster effects hold up surprisingly well. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty 2013 I wasn’t overly impressed with the original, but found it charming and imaginative. This remake is jarring and often ridiculous. As a stand alone it’s okay, but it demonstrates why bigger isn’t necessarily better. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

Spencer 2021 As I understand it, there’s a lot of truth - psychologically and historically - to this symbolic depiction of Diana’s suffocating experience as the Princess of Wales, but I found myself alienated nonetheless by the tone of film. Perhaps that’s the point. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema
