I reviewed Bi Gan's RESURRECTION for the Mercury... Portland, you have very few chances to see this in theaters this weekend. My recommendation? You should.
A new must-see film to start the new year in Portland: Resurrection.
In the near-future, humans no longer dream, because they’ve figured out that dreaming is what prevents us from being immortal. “People not dreaming is like [sic] candles that do not burn—they can exist forever!”

New at the WERNER HERZBLOG: on Herzog's latest book, The Future of Truth, and what he believes that future will hold, as well as a recap of my 20 favorite movies of the year. Nearly 3,000 words for the new year, folks:

I'm resolved to not be so sanctimonious in 2026 but I'm also officially at the "what the fuck are you still doing on twitter" stage with writers I respect now. If you made a big stink about leaving Spotify but still post at a place whose business is this stuff, I don't even know

RESURRECTION has a very limited run in Portland, starting today, at Living Room and at the Cinemark Century Theater on 82nd. Catch it if you can; I wrote about its sensual wonders for the @portlandmercury.com, forgot to mention that its final scene, a 30-minute one-shot, takes place on New Years

On the off chance you're New Year's Day-ing at the movies, consider this great recommendation / review from @sinacolad.bsky.social of Bi Gan’s 'Resurrection.' Portlanders be warned; it's a pretty limited engagement for this sci-fi existential banger.

TEN EXPERIMENTAL FILMS THAT DEFINED 2025.
In the past I've done longer lists. And there are other films from this year that are quite worthy. However I think this was an "off" year. For the most part, consensus coalesced around a few select films, and I found myself in agreement.

I would knock a million doors, fundraise, cartwheel down the middle of my street for a candidate who promised to tax the rich and fully fund schools. I am not even sure I can muster energy to fill in the bubble on my ballot for whatever this is.
