A ★★★★½ review of Sorry, Baby (2025) I didn't think it was possible to make a tasteful comedy about this particular subject matter, but Eva Victor has achieved the impossible. Great stuff!

Very!

A ★★★★½ review of Apocalypse Now (1979) 4K restoration of the original "Roadshow" theatrical cut, playing in a limited run at Film Forum in NYC. Intense and excellent.

April was kind of a dud reading month! Hoping for more gems in May. 💙📚 #booksky

John Barry - The White Buffalo (Main Title) YouTube video by SoundtracksForLiving

Man. I really cannot stop thinking about The White Buffalo. Transfixing from beginning to end, with absolutely jaw-dropping creature fx by legendary Carlo Rambaldi.

A ★★★★½ review of The White Buffalo (1977) Wow, this was so good. This was a used blind buy for me at Amoeba and it did not at all disappoint. Western Jaws! Heard about this after reading The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Always worth reading the Aut...

March wrap-up! Truly memorable reads this month. 💙📚 #booksky

A ★★★★ review of The Ox-Bow Incident (1943) Holy hell this was bleak. Incredibly well written, like a courtroom drama masquerading as a Western. Very well done.

A ★★★★ review of Companion (2025) Hah, what a nice, fun surprise of a horror movie! Totally great.

A ★★★★ review of American Madness (1932) Really solid Capra film, has just about everything you could want. Including a hilarious Sterling Holloway, which was a wonderful surprise!

A ★★★★ review of To Live (1994) Gut-wrenching story about a family surviving a series of tragedies throughout the Chinese Civil War / Communist rule under Mao. Heartbreaking.

A ★★★★ review of The Last Emperor (1987) This is not a criticism I make often, but this movie needed to be longer. China's history during this time period is so nuanced and complicated, that I simply wanted more of this story. Phenomenal act...

A ★★★★★ review of Fierce Creatures (1997) This will always be hilarious to me. Watching it feels like cuddling up in a warm blanket.

A ★★★ review of Presence (2024) Something weirdly stilted and unnatural about all the acting just sat poorly with me. They all seems incredibly uncomfortable around one another. Not sure why the presence could move objects sometimes...

Some real gems this Feb! 💙📚 #booksky

A ★★★★★ review of Skatetown, U.S.A. (1979) Give Patrick Swayze and his belt a 4K release, you cowards.

In case you’re kicking around sequel ideas with Robert Eggers, I’d like to offer this up:

A ★★★★★ review of Black Box Diaries (2024) Well, fuck. I cannot imagine going through all this woman went through.

What a month. 💙📚#booksky

I'll be recommending it to all my friends. ❤️ Loved!

Absolutely breathtaking book. Such a beautiful read, and you've inspired me to educate myself more on the Chinese Civil War. Cannot wait to read whatever you have in store for the future! Congrats!

I have somewhat similar taste, and just finished Homeseeking (just released this month). Absolutely beautiful historical fiction that takes place largely during the Chinese Civil War. Highly recommend!

A ★★★★ review of Expect No Mercy (1995) This still absolutely does not disappoint.
