Twinless (2025)

Dylan is all grown-up and ready for his close-up. Both turns are different and complex. Each side brought his personality forward and succeeded. One precarious and adventuresome, the other, patient and understanding. I kept seeing him as Nightwing. Maybe because I was imagining his impressive butt in tights. James Sweeney quietly tempered his character to fit a personality whose desire to fight loneliness outweighed the prescription that cures it. The foot suck was everything. Two men become attached when they share twin loss. When a twin dies, the survivor no longer has a mirror to base their lives on. One is gay, the other not but they create a bond that soothes the emptiness. A mirror to their souls. Susan Parks was sarcastic and aware. Two great attributes for comedy. Lauren Graham's sympathetic but volatile persona glorified a lot of her scenes. Francois Arnaud beefed things up by looking short, turning us on and being a dick. The cast was funny and endearing, the comedy was intellectual, the drama was bold, the sex was hot and politics were non-existent. I enjoyed it a lot. 20-Jan-2026
Train Dreams (2025)

The historical life of a logger explored and how life politics and choices detoured his path to happiness. Loss is a pain whose wound never heals. It remains in memory banks of hope. Robert Granier is categorized by an actor that added honor to sympathy. Edgerton owned it. Life is simpler than I thought and harder. 09-Jan-2026
Maria (2024)

Angelina Jolie is radiant as the legendary Callas whose last days were riddled with identity issues, loss of art and purpose. Some of the historical tidbits were interesting to discover and the film was as luscious as its protagonist. As soon as Jolie opens her mouth to sing the film establishes the work and the craft it must have taken to complete her transformation. The relationships registered, the melancholy smoked and Angelina Jolie was its greatest effect. 06-Feb-2025
Killer, The (2023)

"Trust no one." If that thought had been applied to the killer's private life, the film would've been a masterpiece. The panic attacks start as soon as the movie is over. 16-Nov-2023
Snyder's Justice League (2021)

A masterpiece in shambles, in need of a master foe. 17-Sep-2023
Kindred (2020)

It's an incomplete thought. A woman realizes her culture by being left behind to be parented by a rich white family. The interracial harmony was a plus. The actors didn't make calls to their agents after every scene. They were in it. The idea that the man you loved was lying about his parents and abandons you to their care is frightening. The atmosphere was established, the actors were prepared but the story didn't succumb to its repression. All was safe, all felt long and none of it felt warranted. I wanted to hear the screams of agony and the main fucking the shit out of that pretty butler to get the fuck out of there. That's what real people do. They don't waste time wondering. 20-Apr-2022
Chosen, The (1981)

Jewish boys entangle friendship with identity, religion, tradition and politics. It's a pensive film that details opposing sides of a general consensus. They want their culture to thrive. The boys are genuine. Robby Benson casts his teenage dream aside and aces a cold and precise believer. The parents make some good points. A boy can't become a man without tremendous change. 07-Nov-2021
