So maybe I went a bit buck-wild with the @criterion.bsky.social 50% off sale this month... #criterion #criterioncollection

A ★★★★★ review of Days of Heaven (1978) What struck me more than the beauty this time around is the deep, deep sadness that permeates throughout this film. Linda Manz is the heart of this film. Possibly the best narrator in any film...ever?...

Linda Manz. That's the review.

LFG! @hollywoodtheatre.org #DaysofHeaven 35mm.

Rain has the best ending to any Madonna song.

Fuck you @nytimes.com

A ★★★★★ review of High and Low (1963) I love when I watch a movie and go "Oh! So that one thing from that one movie came from this movie" and in High and Low that happens about 30 times. Besides being a Mozart-level genius director, can w...

I'm really chipping away at some canon stalwarts these past two weeks. Saw Seven Samurai last week and thought surely that was Kurosawa at his peak. Then I saw High and Low. The man's talent was obscene.

It's full-on spooky how on the money this old MadTV skit still is. (BTW Nicole Sullivan is an unheralded comedic genius)

OK. Final answers to the 100 best movies of the 21st century:

He told me one story about how they went bat shit crazy on each other when they both tried to book him for the Golden Globes. He relayed in a very neutral way but something tells me he prefers working with Megan.

They share the same makeup artist and boy does he have stories to tell ...

Oh and Arrival, duh

Chances are, I might change this. But for now, here is my list of the 10 best films so far this century. Honorable mentions include: Volver, Pan's Labyrinth, The Descent, Call Me By Your Name, Midsommar, Lady Bird, Inglorious Basterds, Amores Perros, Talk to Her, Traffic. #nytimes

I always confuse this with Red Shoe Diaries

Oh amazing! I will, thank you!

I mean, no kidding. His loneliness at the end was so palpable I almost couldn't take it (even though I've been rooting for his pain for 4hrs at that point). These movies are a magic trick.

Hard same! The ending left me in tatters. 😭

A ★★★★★ review of Manon of the Spring (1986) A man's lust and obsession has never been so physically repulsive. What a performance from Daniel Auteuil. And Yves Montand. What a giant of an actor. The ending is absolutely shattering. I'll be rewa...

First time seeing Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring. Can't believe I've gone this long without seeing these two. Astonished and fully gutted. Shattering masterpieces.

A ★★★★½ review of Materialists (2025) I thought this was a total knockout. Dakota Johnson is one of my favorite girlies, Pedro brought tons of gravitas and charisma, and Chris Evans really flexed his acting chops here. But the star is Cel...

Keep cranking them out Celine Song.

The Life of Chuck (2024) In this extraordinary story of an ordinary man, Charles 'Chuck' Krantz experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us.

The Life of Chuck. Man, that opening act is pretty damn spectacular. King is the person who got me into reading books and this is a King story through and through - and a film about dying... and when it finally happens - my god I'm going to miss our Uncle Steve.

These were totemic. They shaped me as a kid.

Damn. This one HURT. RIP #AnandaLewis.

Is @hollywoodtheatre.org trying to clean me out of my paycheck this summer? I got those 2001 and Boogie Nights in 70mm, and Days of Heaven in 35mm tickets so damn fast I burned up that keyboard. Bless that membership.

A ★★★★ review of Lake Mungo (2008) Served up whole body goosebumps from beginning to end. One subplot was kinda stupid/unnecessary but my god did this creep me out. Going to try to sleep ok now....

Not sure why my stupid ass thought it was a good idea to watch this immediately before going to bed. #LakeMungo truly creeped me out. boxd.it/9Xziy9

First time watching But I'm a Cheerleader. Obsessed with the fact that the gay bar is just plain and simply:

A ★★★★★ review of Cries and Whispers (1972) - Last saw it in college so remembered very little - Having lost my father to cancer three years ago, this hit me like an 18-wheeler. It's an overwhelming experience - I'm glad movies are allowed to b...

#CriesandWhispers in 35mm at @hollywoodtheatre.org. Beyond overwhelming. How could Bergman be that good? boxd.it/9VrzSh

The new restoration of #ChristianeF is playing at @hollywoodtheatre.org next week, and it's moments like these where I wish @joshuaconkel.bsky.social lived in #PDX!
