The Lions nearly gave me a Thanksgiving heart attack, but 11-1 for the first time in franchise history!

Between THE RED TURTLE, ROBOT DREAMS, and now FLOW, dialogue-less animated films with gorgeous visuals and stirring scores are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Was deeply moved by FLOW. What a freakin year for animated film.

GLADIATOR 2 suffers from an uneven script, something Ridley Scott doesn’t give two shits about, because it’s all about the spectacle and showmanship. Which is absolutely incredible. Nobody makes movies like he does and I’m here for it.

JUROR #2 is really good. A sharp little movie about the relationship between justice and self-interest, with an election in the background to boot. Really solid/classical filmmaking. Nicholas Hoult is excellent. Highly recommend this one.

Mostly Cooper Hoffman has stood out on his own, but man did this moment right here remind me so much of his father.
