I see director Jonathan Kaplan has died.
It's never a bad time to check out his youth-gone-wild coming-of-age film "Over the Edge" (starring Matt Dillon in his film debut), about teens rebelling against their sell-out parents and soulless planned community.
Supposedly a Kurt Cobain favorite.

One of Most Disturbing NYC Thrillers of the 1980s Has Been AWOL -- Until Now
Impossible to see for nearly 40 years, Night of the Juggler returns to screen as a time capsule with a vengeance.
I first saw NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER on cable when I was a kid. If you like late Horror City sleaze-pulp filled with '70s character actor and featuring James Brolin at peak Brawny-mascot hotness, you owe it to yourself to see this restoration on a big screen.

'Eddington' Is the Perfect Conspiracy Thriller for a Broken, Brainwashed Nation
Set during the early days of the pandemic, Ari Aster's mix of satire, suspense, and 21st century paranoia still feels way too close for comfort.
Happy EDDINGTON Day to those that celebrate... my take from Cannes, really happy this movie is finally out, really curious to see how people do (or don't) take to it... having seen it three times now, I dig it more than ever

'Superman' Feels Like a Living, Breathing Comic Book
James Gunn's reboot of the DC Universe kicks off with deep-cut superheros and a sensibility that captures the Silver Age version of the Man of Steel.
It's for nerds! It's against the grain! It's SUPERMAN!!!
Yes, many of the characters talk in a way that you know James Gunn is behind it, but man, this really does feel like a living, breathing Silver Age comic book...

Both Dogville and La Commune made our list; The Clock was on my ballot (and also on the one from @timgrierson.bsky.social ) until we took it out of contention since itโs more art installation than a film ๐ฅ

Michael Madsen Was the Tough Guy's Tough Guy
Our appreciation of the actor, who died at age 67, and played the kind of stoic characters who spoke softly and carried a sharp straight-razor.
A few quick words about Michael Madsen, *that scene*, Tarantino knowing exactly how to use him in every film they did together, Lee Marvin fans, and the art of playing tough guys even if you once played the dad in 'Free Willy.'

'Sorry, Baby' Wants to Introduce You to Eva Victor, Superstar
The writer-director-star tells a fractured, tragicomic story about trauma โ and immediately establishes herself as a first-rate filmmaker.
Eva Victor's SORRY, BABY opens in NY/LA today, expands to other markets starting next week, it's a near-perfect debut and a totally perfect example of how to translate a comic voice to the screen, and dear god I love this movie so fucking much it hurts.

Listen. The only way you can become a good writer is by being a shitty writer and doing it anyways. You canโt magically become a good writer by having a machine do some of the work for you. That just makes you a fraud.
