My #LastFourWatched this #LetterboxdFriday were pretty underwhelming. I’ll be watching some favorites over the weekend as a tonic.
If you're in the #TwinCities this Saturday, I'll be introducing LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) at the Heights Theater. It's screening in 70mm at 1 pm. Don't miss this rare chance to see an incomparable epic in glorious 70mm. Tickets: tinyurl.com/bdd4hwjy My essay about the film: tinyurl.com/5ja38dbt
A bizarre mix of movies (and one limited series) for this #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched, partly inspired by some recent Vinegar Syndrome announcements.
Revisiting Robin and Marian (1976) was the highlight of my #LastFourWatched on #LetterboxdFriday. Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn are terrific in this mournful, moving film by director Richard Lester. One of my favorite Robin Hood movies.
#NowWatching - DARK HORSE (2011, dir. Todd Solondz) The out-of-touch Abe (Jordan Gelber), who lives with his parents (Christopher Walken, Mia Farrow), begins an unlikely relationship with a depressed woman (Selma Blair). Picked up the #Bluray from #VinegarSyndrome recently. A real gem.
Just enjoying my new #DisclosureDay mug. (Thanks, Claire!)
I’m pretty underwhelmed by my #LastFourWatched on this #LetterboxdFriday. Plan to make up for it with some better selections over the weekend.
A few rewatches and one solid new release in my #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday.
A bunch of rewatches and a disappointing new release for my #LastFourWatched on this #LetterboxdFriday.
Gotta love Criterion’s custom sticker for their new Blu-Ray of Life of Brian. #physicalmedia
Here are my #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday. A couple of good titles to see in the #cinema this weekend.
Me watching a new IFC release with VFX (and probably more) done by AI.
I recently reviewed two of the year's worst movies, both about suspicious wellness centers. They contain some of the most subpar writing and filmmaking I've seen in a while. CORPORATE RETREAT www.deepfocusreview.com/reviews/corp... WET PAPER BAG www.deepfocusreview.com/reviews/wet-...
Here are my #LastFourWatched. It’s been a rough couple of days.
"The general idea is that they try to get us all confused and scared and, uh, sore at each other. And then before you know it, clamp the handcuffs on us... Not on your hands, they wouldn't... The chains would be on your mind and on your tongue." - KEEPER OF THE FLAME (1942, dir. George Cukor)
Sharing my #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday. The new stuff was disappointing, but rewatching Gilliam’s masterpiece on Criterion’s 4K was an absolute pleasure.

A few classics and a ‘90s dud I finally caught up with for my #LastFourWatched on this #LetterboxdFriday.
Give me your favourite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor.
A pretty random #LastFourWatched on this #LetterboxdFriday… The Uncanny was a fun discovery because, you know, cats.
