"Snappy, alive, with an eye for the streets and an ear for the times. But what is engaging is really Lee's direction, not the material that goes in and out of focus."
Sovereign (2025) - Rated 30 Aug 2025
Sorry, Baby (2025) - Rated 29 Aug 2025
Weapons (2025) - Rated 26 Aug 2025
"No matter the variations in tone, what the occult, underwritten bad guy imparts is a horror genre that does not transcend itself. So have your metaphors if you want, I'm not convinced that we're dealing with more than exploitation effects, which are too prevalent in modern cinema anyway. The tossed off trauma of the ending also sits wrong with me. And yet it's a striking film; one that would have benefitted from a few calibrations."
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) - Rated 26 Aug 2025

"The worst kind of corporate advertising masquerading as a film."
Eddington (2025) - Rated 14 Aug 2025
The Naked Gun (2025) - Rated 03 Aug 2025
"Some things are so their own that they cannot be copied. Whatever one thinks of them, who would consider remaking Keaton, Chaplin, the Marx brothers, Lewis, or, say, Sandler? Of course, writers can get together and copy the style, even get a few laughs out of that exercise, but aesthetically it'll be a waste. Speaking of - ZAZ framed their films beautifully, each line reading and edit was sophisticated. The new one? Well, it's diverting."
