If VARDA BY AGNES is playing anywhere near you, or is at a cinema within driving distance, or you have access to a boat or private jet or rent-a-pterodactyl and can get to a theater showing it, see it asap. A perfect coda to a more or less perfect career.

MOVIE: I am poorly directed, badly written and my framing suggests my director was looking through the wrong end of the camera. But I have 90% of your favorite '70s character actors on a train, it's late and you've been drinking. ME: You have my undivided attention.

The gangster as tragic zero: The more I think about #TheIrishman , the more I realize it's not just a major Scorsese work but maybe the most deeply felt mobster movie ever. It's in many ways the anti-'Goodfellas.' Genuinely can't wait to see this again.

This tweet is an official endorsement of PEN15, which I loved + my 13-year-old daughter claimed that the show's "middle school sex stuff is eerily accurate, and..." at which point I poured acid into my ears to escape hearing the end of that sentence. Anyway, see it. It's genius.

Think I may love #DunePartTwo more than the first film... the whole middle section in which Austin Butler shows up looking like a marble stature come to life/one half of a Mappelthorpe pictorial is fucking amazing.

It used to be a “one for them, one for me” trade-off for filmmakers working within in the studio system... and THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS might be the first movie I’ve seen where both of those options are fighting it out in the same film.

I've been stumping for THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO for what feels like ages now, but I love this movie to an insane degree. Here's the gents talking about the compelling story behind it. It expands this weekend and opens wide June 21st. Go see it.

If we're being honest, the only baller move that Benioff and Weiss have left is if they introduce a totally new character in the **last five mins** of the series finale next week, with no history or backstory whatsoever, and just give the Iron Throne to that dude. #GameofThrones

Think Scorsese/De Niro, but with less bloody corpses left in their wake. That's Nicole Holofcener and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. May they never stop making movies together. YOU HURT MY FEELINGS, coincidentally a phrase I've typed on Twitter many, many times.

So I assume we all know there’s a new John Woo movie dropping on Netflix this Friday, because of the massive, omnipresent marketing campaign they have rolled out for it, right?

THE PRINCESS premieres Sat on HBO, and its found footage portrait of Princess Diana doubles as a deconstruction of a media-fueled persona that Ms. Spencer didn't ask for. Think 'The Crown,' but all thorns. My review outta Sundance.

Like a *lot* of folks, I went back and watched CONTAGION. It's chilling. It's prescient. It's a pandemic procedural. And it's oddly...helpful?
