Jess + MossJess + Moss (Jess and Moss) (2011)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) Self consciously self–important, but pretty rock solid. Do you yearn for long youthful summers where the days shook away and you found something in nothing? Do you find something vaguely sinister in hindsight? This one's for you.
Moonrise KingdomMoonrise Kingdom (2012)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) Feels like the most divisive Anderson film, but the "everyone just trying to make it work" themes on display always hit me super hard with this one. "I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about" always breaks my heart. Khaki scout for l
DVD $19.95
Batman: Mask of the PhantasmBatman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) This is a great film noir that happens to feature Batman. Beautifully rendered universe, impeccable voice acting, a haunting score, and a screenplay suitable for the best of RKO make this my favorite superhero movie by a mile.
Never Dead, TheNever Dead, The (Phantasm) (1979)Recommended
2 stars (Good Try) A rad score and that–guy–who–yelled–at–you–in–church–that–one–time as a villain doesn’t save this from being 12 minutes of film with heaps of padding. More fun than good, but I mean that in a nice way. Good choice if it’s 2am.
RawRaw (Grave) (2016)
4 stars (Very Good) Starts as ultra stylish, cringe–inducing shock horror and slowly becomes more cohesive, and somehow more unsettling. I'd recommend it, but I'm not sure to who.
Across 110th StreetAcross 110th Street (1972)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) I dug the hell out of this movie. Great mob/police thriller in a film universe so developed I felt like I knew my way through the neighbourhood. Strangely mature about racial unrest, some great villains, and a killer Bobby Womack song, to boot.
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1966)Aro Favourite
3 stars (Good Enough) A tour–de–force of camp and seediness that's too much fun to feel guilty about watching. Great characters and a surprisingly gritty storyline, this is more than just a celebration of breasts. But there's a lot of that, too.
BaseballBaseball (1994-2010)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) This is great if you want to have conversations about baseball with old men. But I'm pretty annoyed that in 22 hours they talk to Stephen Jay Gould and Billy Crystal, but never Bob Uecker. I know I'm a Brewer fan, but come on.
DVD $79.95
On the WaterfrontOn the Waterfront (1954)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) This is no doubt a great movie, but that's mostly because Brando is so constantly compelling. I'm sure it seemed thrillingly subversive in its time, but it feels self congratulatory and cheeseball, today.
Iron Giant, TheIron Giant, The (2000)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) A bit slow–paced and you have to swoon for 1950s America setting to really hit you, but it's a guileless story with impossibly charming characters. I love the design during the robot rampage.
