I Saw the Devil

This film is tightly executed. There are beautiful cinematic moments, and the cinematography leads the story, not supports it. It teaches...

A Year Without Summer

It is remarkable to bludgeon your audience and somehow, they still howl in fits of laughter, cry sincere tears and hold a standing ovation.

Moebius

What the hell did I just watch? Pros: - No dialogue - Attractive actresses - Pretty good cinematography Cons: - Everything else about the...

There's Something About Mary

"Deuce, deuce and a half?" Punchy, laugh out loud moments and legitimately epic straight man performance by Ben Stiller. Shoutout to The...

Paprika

"Don't you think dreams and the Internet are similar? They are both areas where the repressed conscious mind vents." Shows flashes of...

Mommy

"We gonna canonize this kid? Sh!t him a statue?" This film opens with extreme close ups, frenetic dialogue and brilliant pacing. The...

Bedevilled

"I stared at the sun and it spoke to me." This film was dark, disturbing and harrowing. It found edges that it seems only Korean films can.

Hoppers

"Mabel: Whoa, guys, this is just like Avatar. Dr. Sam: This is nothing like Avatar!" A downright enjoyable, tongue in cheek exploration of...

Jackie Brown

When you absolutely, positively got to confuse the audience with a convoluted money handoff, accept no substitutes. The visual language...

Train Dreams

Visually stunning and delightfully unconventional. This film shatters screenwriting norms, delivering a deeply atmospheric character study.

Midnight Run

Bill Simmons LOVES this movie. I tried to love it. Really, I did. I couldn't get there. De Niro is great and so are $1,000 bills, but it...

Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste

If you have any interest in the mechanics of modern cults, Orgasm Inc is worth your time. The documentary exposes the access this...

New Rose Hotel

Walken, Dafoe and Argento. Almost unwatchable... I made it to ~30 minutes in. One classic quote landed by Walken: "There's an old saying:...

Entourage

The film smartly follows a proven and well-worn path - mindlessly entertaining and unapologetic trash. It has the most cameos of any movie...

Battle Royale

Truly insane. Worst recommendation ever from a fellow film enthusiast - thanks, Augie. Some trivia: "While many critics and viewers,...

In Search of Greatness

A fluffy, surface-level exploration that offers nothing fresh. It downplays the maniacal focus required to reach the pinnacle of sports,...

Boogie Nights

"...if you just wanna look at it, it's only five." A solid and stained ride through the 70s adult film world. It's fun and chaotic, with a...

Sinners

And just for a few hours, we was free. This movie knows exactly what it is, never tries to be anything else, and delivers rapid fire...

In Time

A recommendation from a dear friend. The film lost me at weird math and a distracting wobbly door during an action scene. Cool concept but...

I'm Not a Robot

Sirāt

This film is visually stunning and later, shocking. It sets it's own pace as you meander through the desert, feeling like you'll never get...

Whiplash

Terence Fletcher: There are no two words in the English language more harmful than "good job". This film is a close fifth in my Letterboxd...

Incendies

Breathtaking. Shocking. Puts you right in the action. The cinematography is majestic. The story is heartbreaking. One of the best...

The Silence of the Lambs

No Other Choice

Enormous build with zero release. The humanity and reality of this film is depressing, but inspiring at the same time. Films that can hold...

Heat

"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."...

The Hangover Part III

Why did they stray so far from the formula that worked? No idea. Slow, flat, meandering. Nothing like the previous two films. This might...

The Hangover Part II

"Come on, Stu. It was beautiful. We climaxed at the same time." Stu must have inspired some of the Frank character in The White Lotus...

The Hangover

"Did Caesar live here?" The Hangover perfectly captures the chaos of every bachelor's dream. Packed with brilliant flashback sequences, no...
