REVIEW: “One Battle After Another” (2025) It feels as if Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” runs the risk of facing two different knee-jerk responses, each driven by contrasting views of current events. The angry and cynical…

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is 160 minutes of unfocused energy. It’s well made but hampered by plot gimmicks, careless romanticizations, and a contentment with taking shots at current day issues rather than examining them.

My Review… keithandthemovies.com/2025/09/26/r...

The waves of ignorance currently flooding social media is staggering.

Is this really the society you want to usher in and celebrate? If so just remember, there are maniacs on the other side who may disagree with your politics as well.

I’ve never been more happy for an awards season to be over!

What feels like the most curated award season in history ends tonight with the Academy Awards.

And that’s a wrap on the 2025 El Dorado Film Festival (lots of coverage still to come).

Some great features, five blocks of short films, Q&As, workshops, panels, etc.

This festival is a labor of love and all the hard work really paid off (again). Can’t wait for next year.
