Fuck. Yes. Deathstalker II did the unthinkable—embracing its cheese and rolling with it, all the while bettering its characters and comedy—and I really can't be any happier. Its predecessor was a rollicking good time because of its trashy behavior, but with this sequel, Jim Wynorski directs with full attention to comedic cheese and pure fun, resulting in an unabashedly adventurous movie of charm, action, and women. This time round we have characters that hold personality; Deathstalker himself is a smooth-as-motherfucker…

Paper Moon 1973
Peter Bogdanovich's black-and-white Depression-era masterpiece of joy, company, and cons, Paper Moon is pure comfort in both the rarest and simplest form; two extraordinary leads playing off each other both amusingly and at the most touching, spiraling towards a cinematic perfect pairing for the ages. Tatum and Ryan O'Neal are bliss in each scene of bicker and happiness, fending off each others remarks and counterattacking them with one-of-a-kind wordplay and chemistry. It's all a delight; hilarious at times and gently heart-rending at others. I can't think of a more comforting picture; Paper Moon is in a class by itself.

Asteroid City 2023
surprisingly melancholic and less stimulating than Anderson’s previous efforts, but very fun to look at given its soaring 1950s American west texture. impeccable design. huge ensemble cast. maybe this’ll bump up to four stars with a rewatch. not ideal to watch this at 10pm after being awake since 4am.

The Last Waltz 1978
It’s rare to find a concert film as moving as this. It’s all in the way Scorsese managed to capture how beautiful of a night it was.

The Void 2016
A vessel of John Carpenter gloss and shock. The Fog meets Assault on Precinct 13 meets The Thing, fizzling in a flimsy array of Carpenter claustrophobia. Cults, cloaks, and crosses (not to mention triangles); an illuminati-astronomical parasite honing to a drained abyss. Emergency-red brightness cascading on victims and heroes, drowning in an dissolute echo of dread. An urge to fight, run, and creep. A shitstorm of a night for the characters and the audience. A hell-bent creation of freaks and…

Blade Runner 2049 2017
The Year is 2017: Ranked and Reviewed
The wettest kind of consciousness, percolating memories that flood with no specific significance, nor cascade with the true essence of meaning—they sit, stir, and rattle the brain with all of its attempts at explanation. Beckoning an existential gaze that beautifies the believers and the heroes—surrounded in a stream of fake electronic components and fake matter. To these wanderers, life is fenced in and forgotten, intact with their provisions and protocol—this is the future,…
