Time to Die (1966): minimalist Mexican western directed by Arturo Ripstein. The film is well acted, & the dialogue is excellent. Unfortunately, its plodding pace kills it. It’s all talking, no sense of urgency, & doesn’t do anything until the last 15 mins. It’s not bad, just boring. Verdict: average

Superman (2025): superhero film not up its own ass. Captures the optimism & humanity of Superman better than previous films. Excellent cast who deliver in all roles. Overly convoluted plot, & too much CGI building smashing. Funny, light, & confidently directed. Krypto steals the show. Verdict: good

North by Northwest: a capable thriller that starts promising, but overstays its welcome with a bloated 136 min runtime. After the first act, the movie staggers at a languid pace, you feel like screaming at the film for something to happen. Yes, the iconic crop-duster scene was great, but that’s it…

North Shore: Karate Kid on surf boards. Has all the classic 80s sports movie tropes, it’s full of cliches. Cheesy fun. Shot in Hawaii, and the vistas are gorgeous. Has real surfing, and seems to take it seriously. Performances are OK for the era & genre. Has a surprising ending. Verdict: average

Le Doulos: densely detailed, sharp, twisty tale of two criminals & their intersecting paths. Beautiful black and white photography. Excellent acting and direction. Pacing is on the slow side, & if it was shorter it would have been more impactful. Director Melville makes everyone cool. Verdict: good

Elon Musk is such a colossal loser, if you wrote a fictional character half as lame as him, people would think it was unrealistic.

Longest Yard: more dramedy than comedy, it is well-written, has surprising depth (but only for the main character, everyone else is flat), & some decent laughs. First act is slow, but the pace picks up after that. It has all the usual sport film cliches, but it is comforting that way. Verdict: good

Cyborg: train wreck of a film. Nobody can act, & half the cast can barely enunciate. Cheap sets & crappy synth soundtrack. There is no point in the cyborg being a cyborg. Van Damme tries his best, but his high kicks and splits can’t help this abomination. Mid-film fight/chase was ok. Verdict: shitty

Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar: deceivingly dull first act gets waylaid by insanity after a crazy threeway sex scene. Barrage of bizarreness that brings decent laughs, albeit no memorable lines. Totally weird sense of humor, game cast, and unpredictability make this worth the watch. Verdict: good

Samurai Wolf: heavily spaghetti western influenced, this 1966 film has good performances, a twisty story, nice photography, breezy runtime, & an anachronistic soundtrack. Plenty of solid action, and geysers of blood. Wolf is a fun character, less serious than most samurai protagonists. Verdict: good

Bob le Flambeur: Melville’s gambling/heist film. Slick photography, cool characters, and morbid humor. Duschene gives a humanistic, yet guarded performance as Bob. Great setup but the “heist” is a flop. I get it, they were going against expectations, but it was disappointing anyway. Verdict: average

Eiger Sanction: Eastwood’s version of Bond who loves rock climbing. So many badass and hilarious lines jam-packed into one film. The mountain climbing is taut, and the plot has some genuine surprises. The second act is too long. Slow burn at times, but very well made. Verdict: good
