My personal Thanksgiving film festival continues with Yorgos Lanthimos’ THE LOBSTER, a bleak but humorous story about a dystopian future where you have 30 days to find love or you’ll be turned into the animal of your choice. Spoiler: It gets weird after that. Really enjoyed the film.

Why aren’t more people talking about AMERICANA, Tony Tost’s crime thriller/neo noir western? Utterly captivating film. Quirky, darkly humorous, maybe a little too languid for some. I loved it. Think Quentin Tarantino crossed with Wim Wenders but very much its own thing.

New obsession: THE BEAST IN ME. Murder and intrigue. Secrets. The crazy woman from Homeland still being crazy. Four episodes in and I have no idea what the payoff is but I’m up for the ride. Totally bingeable.

Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN. Bad dads make bad dads. I loved every frame. Spectacular film.

Finally watched THE BRUTALIST, which, come to find out, is not named for its nearly four hour runtime. (Though honestly it didn’t feel that long.) The film is excellent but depressing. In a nutshell: artists be crazy; don’t trust rich dudes. Stellar performances from Adrian Brody and Guy Pearce.

Getting my 1950s melodrama on with Vincent Minnelli’s SOME CAME RUNNING. Frank Sinatra is a hard-drinking writer learning how hard it is to return home. Dean Martin is his pal, a professional gambler. Yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds.

Looking for a great cop show? Check out DEPARTMENT Q on Netflix. It’s about a burnt out antisocial detective assigned to handle cold cases. Yeah we’ve seen this before, but show runner Scott Frank (The Queen’s Gambit) manages to put a fresh binge-worthy spin on it.

Not saying I got a bad haircut, but I do look like I’m in a Flock of Seagulls cover band.

If you’re in the neighborhood, please join me this June at #thrillerfest in NYC. I’m going to be on a killer panel on Saturday with some great authors. Very much looking to that, not to mention the awards banquet that night. #thrillerawards #internationalthrillerwriters #rosedoucette #mysterywriters

Meta is stealing authors’ work to train their AI. I searched my name and this is the first thing that came up. Have fun with that, AI Overlords. (Also, stop the stealing!)

How come nobody’s talking about DOPE THIEF on AppleTV+? I loved the book, and the show is every bit as good.

Really enjoyed THE PRESIDENT’S LAWYER by Lawrence Robbins, an Edgar nominee for best first novel. The story is about a former president standing trial for murder and the attorney representing him. Some great twists that I didn’t see coming.

Really enjoyed The Menu. Ralph Fiennes is like Gordon Ramsey in Hell’s Kitchen but not as warm and cuddly.

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I still think about his role in Harry Dean Stanton’s last movie LUCKY, where he played a barfly searching for his missing tortoise, President Roosevelt. A quirky but great film.

I loved ANORA. Think Pretty Woman but with Russians and vaping. Laugh out loud funny, tender, and heartbreaking all in the same breath.
