It feels like with each passing year, the struggle never ends. Perhaps it was ever thus. My ongoing project continues for 2024, documenting some notable war films from around the world to seek understanding & clarity. I hope you find the same in the coming years. Godspeed

I finally sat down with maybe THE perennial Brandon Guy, Gerard Butler, and had a great conversation about Greenland 2, the differences in his many action heroes and a tiny bit on Den of Thieves 3. You can read it here:

Gerard Butler’s Most Powerful Weapon? Relatability.
The star of 'Greenland 2: Migration' has been beating up bad guys and saving the world for a long time—but always wants his characters to be someone you can recognize from the real world.

PRIMATE (2026): Lean. MEAN. I'm annoyed that the film sets up some big family trauma narrative, only to abandon it in favor of tongue-in-cheek simian slasher beats, but the practical effects and the pacing are too well done to ignore. Surprisingly heavy giallo influences, too? Not mad about it.

most "horror" westerns: "what if cowboy's ran into, I dunno, monsters and shit..."
the real life west: this guy had the skin stripped from a dead outlaw and made into a pair of shoes. he later wore those shoes to his inaugural ball after he was elected Senator.
