Honey Don’t is a little shaggy, but I hope Ethan Coen makes ten more violent comedies with Margaret Qualley. I had a way better time with this than I expected. Go figure, I’m lukewarm on the Coens, but Ethan is two for two with his silly little larks.

My most anticipated movie of the year. So freaking stoked.

Weapons is a slow burn that build up to an insane and very satisfying conclusion. Zach Cregger has a confidence to his direction that few filmmakers have, let alone in the horror field. Epic and unique, it’s another sign that he’s a force to be reckoned with.
