Dunkirk (2017) - Rated 13 Aug 2025
Positively, the color palette really struck me, and plenty of the shots are beautiful. Otherwise it's a miss for me. The characters are all one of five metaphors for the story. The plotting is a self-indulgent jumble. Indulge yourself to write good drama, man.

Sinners (2025) - Rated 13 Jul 2025
Cool ideas; meh execution. The first hour and the second hour differ dramatically, and I don't think the opening half earns all the payoffs it [meanderingly] prepares. A lot of plates just get dropped. The characters seem far away from the audience. I liked the take on vampires and the experimental moments.

Mickey 17 (2025) - Rated 02 Jun 2025
I liked its charm and not its substance. The first hour is interesting and aimless; the second hour is annoying and falls apart. The characters are all inert, glib sketches with nowhere to go, so the plot extends itself. We got the first draft of some unknown, better film.

Kingdom of Heaven (2005) - Rated 14 May 2025
The director's cut is a spectacular film with a letdown of a screenplay. The script is so proud of Balian and you could just delete him. He spouts writer-stand-in piousness, except when he commits writer-stand-in adultery with the pretty lady. Plot happens to him. We could've watched the predatorial factions of Jerusalem circle the jenga tower for two fascinating acts, until it collapses gloriously with the siege. Instead it feels like a too-long montage. The two kings are highlights.
