  • Coal Miner's Daughter, 1980 - ★★½
    Coal Miner's Daughter is a train wreck you can't look away from, not because anything goes wrong, but because nothing ever does. Success arrives and the film just keeps filming. Sissy Spacek sings beautifully out of empty eyes. She is technically extraordinary and the film won't give her anything to lose. Every obstacle dissolves in […]
  • Sinners, 2025 - ★★½
    The early scenes of Sinners features a man crushing a serpent's head, but he still gets bitten. Ryan Coogler put Genesis 3:15 in his film and didn't realize he was telling on himself. Ryan Coogler is a genuine craftsman. Michael B. Jordan carries dual roles here without breaking a sweat, and Delroy Lindo steals every scene he […]
  • The Long Goodbye, 1973 - ★★★
    Marlowe is Don Quixote in a 1970s LA he didn't ask to be born into. The code is real. The world stopped caring about the code a long time ago. Altman shoots this as a kind of shaggy cosmic joke, everyone talking past a man who still means what he says, every cigarette lit like […]
  • Ray, 2004 - ★★★★★
    Ray is nothing short of extraordinary. It is a masterclass in storytelling, performance, and musical legacy that leaves a lasting impression long after the credits roll.At the heart of the film is Jamie Foxx. Foxx doesn’t just play Ray Charles, he becomes him. From the physicality to the voice to the emotional depth, every detail […]
  • The Night of the Hunter, 1955 - ★★★★½
    Charles Laughton directed one film and it's a hauntingly beautiful nightmare from the Bible.Powell is a wolf who learned to speak fluent sheep, scripture on his lips, hymns in his throat, murder in his hands tattooed LOVE and HATE. The adults are fooled because they want to be. They're watching out for themselves, which is […]
