Four new fall releases from four directors I like:
Kelly Reichardt's #TheMastermind (B+) > Richard Linklater's #BlueMoon (B) > Guillermo del Toro's #Frankenstein (C+) > #Bugonia (C), a rare miss from Yorgos Lanthimos.

The Ladies Who Lunch reconvene at Lester's Diner on State Road 84, near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. I've missed these chats, and their company. Breakfast, as usual for Lester's, was stellar. 🍳☕😋

Pro tip, staff of Motek at Aventura Mall: when you offer water options to diners, kindly let them know you're going to charge them $8 for a large bottle of Saratoga Spring Water _before_ placing the order. That way, you won't come across as money-grubbing scammers. Much obliged. #MiamiHustle

Here's a fun flashback to the premiere of THE IRISHMAN at the 2019 Key West Film Festival with @mcastimovies.bsky.social and @davidlfear.bsky.social. Fond memories. 🎬🎞🏝🍿😊

So I turned 53 on Thursday. It was a magical night in Coral Gables. 🎂🎉😊❤

IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT: It was just a chore. There is a payoff, but to get there, you have to wade through way too much of bitching and moaning -- charming when it was young soccer players in OFFSIDE, but these are grown men and women who won't shut the hell up. (_This_ won the Palme d'Or?) C+

🔥🔥🔥 Sex appeal in spades. Then there's... that voice. *swoon*
Happy birthday to Oliver Jackson-Cohen (specifically his chest)

Miami New Times confirming that a big immigration enforcement operation is coming to South Florida, and deportation officers from out of state are headed to Miami this weekend to assist.

Once a year, on a Saturday in the fall, I invite local film critics and other friends for lunch at Seasons 52 in Coral Gables to catch up and enjoy each other's company. It was every bit as soul-tingling and satisfying as the best of these events that I've been organizing for well over a decade now.

#ROOFMAN nails retail purgatory and local news in the 2000s. Never expected Derek Cianfrance to have a lighthearted side, but he lets his hair down in disarming ways. Also, beautifully shot on film. Best Channing performance? Up there with Foxcatcher. What a lovely final scene. B+

The clock is ticking in #AHouseofDynamite and #TronAres. Kathryn Bigelow's political thriller is a bleak mosaic of despair marred by multiple shifts in perspective that dilute its urgency. Disney's generic legacy sequel rarely stops feeling as synthetic as its sentient AI. My reviews: bit.ly/4ogdhDd

I saw Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson from a distance at the European premiere of SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE at Berlinale many moons ago. A tremendous talent with a wide range. She really brightened movies, didn't she? RIP.

Happy #NationalComingOutDay. What under normal circumstances is considered a celebration is increasingly becoming, in these turbulent times, an act of defiance.

Also, I'm single.

#Anemone brings Daniel Day-Lewis out of retirement, but it's a turgid affair, a middling British telenovela with high-toned aspirations. Tom Blyth and Russell Tovey are very good in #Plainclothes, an atmospheric anatomy of the closet hobbled by stylistic overkill. My reviews: bit.ly/478oO1v

The fall movie season starts off with a bang. #OneBattleAfterAnother, P.T. Anderson's exhilarating 10th feature, hurtles forward like a freight train. Sensational. Also, don't sleep on #TheHistoryOfSound, Oliver Hermanus' quietly devastating adaptation of Ben Shattuck's short story. bit.ly/42JeNFs

THE HISTORY OF SOUND: It's not the short story, but its melancholy worked on me all the same. Hermanus nails the heartache. Ivory would have likely made a better film. Zeffirelli would have turned it into a wax museum. Mescal, O"Connor in fine form. That last scene with Chris Cooper broke me. B

In #ABigBoldBeautifulJourney, Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie play strangers who embark on a loopy, fantastical trip to untangle the baggage that's holding them back. Kogonada's 3rd feature is heavy on whimsy, but where are the sparks? Not good, but not nearly as bad as you've heard. bit.ly/423xlA2

Saw the filmed #Hamilton for the 1st time. I'd caught the tour production in 2020 right before we went into lockdown. My bias against filmed theater kept me from watching this with the original cast and holy moly! Electrifying under any conditions, but at this moment in time, a cathartic experience.

I was very mixed on "The Monkey," but with the deeply moving #TheLongWalk and the disarmingly Capraesque #TheLifeOfChuck, the outlook on 2025 Stephen King adaptations is much brighter. Reviewing them for Miamiartzine meant taking a trip down memory lane. bit.ly/46I5S8H
