The brilliance of REBEL RIDGE is that it’s a slow burn thriller that wastes no time. Every frame is rich with pulsing intention. Saulnier delivers my favorite Netflix film since DOLEMITE IS MY NAME and firmly mints Aaron Pierre as a movie star. I only wish I could’ve watched this one in a theater.

'First Blood' was released on this day in 1982. For @crooked-marquee.bsky.social, I wrote about how the 'Rambo' series started as something quite different than what it became: crookedmarquee.com/how-rambo-tu...
How Rambo Turned a Complicated Antihero into Agitprop
When 'Rambo: First Blood Part II' hit theaters 35 years ago, it was a commercial and cultural sensation. But it also turned its protagonist into a cartoon.

One of our favorite Bigelow Boys.
I loved Kathryn Bigelow's A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, a film that a lot of people seem to be interpreting as a fantasy (read: propaganda) of American power and competence, when in fact it is the exact opposite of that. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

This is great. This film has always been a disappointment. It always seemed like a meal of the best ingredients served cold on a paper plate. The opening credits are great and just keeps sliding after that... Looking forward to learning more.

This week we're joined by Shahir Daud (of @onlymoviepodcast.bsky.social) to talk about Panic Room and why the production of the film, rather than the story or ideas, seems to reflect David Fincher's obsessions.

Honestly no one has ever been hotter than WP in this movie.
100%. Keep yr hairless steroid boys who eat only rice cakes. What's hot is a man who knows who he is, who isn't worried about trends, who means what he says, exercises '80s style by running on the beach in jeans while a sax plays, & who looks at you with a side-eye if you call things a mood or vibe.
Hard to overemphasize how much I feel absolutely nothing when I see these images, but give me Bill Petersen in some jeans with some fuck off sunglasses and a little scarf and I’m all yours
