For the @portlandmercury.com I reviewed THE RUNNING MAN, lamenting how it’s not even close to the rage-filled bonanza it could have been:

TRAIN DREAMS starts this weekend at the @hollywoodtheatre.org, one of only a few chances you'll have to see it in a theater before it dumps to Netflix. My review at the @portlandmercury.com:

Repertory film screenings trend surreal and nonlinear this month, with cinemas showing The Double Life of Véronique, The Color of Pomegranates, Memoria, and other films that ask for your focus and faith. Read why they're worth it on Second Run.

Adapted from a novella by Denis Johnson, Train Dreams is very plainly one of the most beautiful films of 2025. You've got two weeks to see it in a theater, preferably in the Pacific Northwest, before it ends up on Netflix.

I don’t cover transpo in Portland but I live in District 1 and I gotta say, it is just a blood bath out here with traffic violence. Two pedestrian fatalities last night (102 & Halsey and 122 & Glisan). These lives are just two of the countless consequences of ignoring an entire corner of the city…

I reviewed the new one from professional weirdo Yorgos Lanthimos.
In Bugonia, Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons plead, bicker, debate, somersault over, and gnash at one another as the truth begins to unglue. Yorgos Lanthimos has never been so much fun.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
