Capone (2020), A Personal Letter To Joshua Benjamin Trank
Dear Mr. Trank, You do not know me but I know you. For the longest time, I thought your name was spelled Tranq. Chronicle was one of the earliest films I watched that I thought was really cool when I was fourteen. That was eight years ago now.

The Favourite, (2018): Yorgos Lanthimos, Tralfamadorians, and Rewatching Movies
There are a few things that give me faith in the film industry; Parasite winning best picture, Knives Out making all of the money ever, and the fact that The Farewell even exists at all rank among them.

Scarface (1983), Why Brian..? Just… Why..?
It’s so hard being a Brian de Palma fan sometimes. I know what kind of great work Brian can do. I’ve seen that he can do pulpy, politically motivated thrills with an experimental edge in Blow Out, I’ve seen him do tight psychodramas like Raising Cain, Sisters, and Obsession, and I’ve seen him make someContinue reading “Scarface (1983), Why Brian..?

The True History of the Kelly Gang (2019), Daddies, Westerns, and Colonialism
What a delight it is to see Justin Kurzel back at it again. After the misfire of Assassin’s Creed, this is his chance to make back his goodwill. When you’re a director you tend to get one absolutely apocalyptic mess of a movie before the public really starts to turn on you. What Kurzel benefitsContinue reading “The True History of the Kelly Gang (2019), Daddies, Westerns, and Colonialism”
