2025

★★★★ Watched

Throw away all the crap you don't need in a movie (plot, dynamic camerawork, varied framing) and boom, you've got some great stuff. Wes Anderson puts you at ease early on and then it's smooth sailing. Benicio Del Toro does a phenomenal job.

1998

★★★★ Rewatched

Snake Eyes gets better every rewatch. And maybe that's because I care less about the stuff that doesn't work for me. The final act still disappoints me considering how amazing the first 2/3 of the movie is.

Some streaming services include Rotten Tomatoes scores on them. Shocking to see a De Palma movie with all his hallmarks, still at the top of his game get such a bad critical reception.

Cage went on a tear after his Oscar win: becoming an action star with The Rock, Con Air, and Face/Off. Then gets to work with De Palma and Scorsese.

It failed to capture the sensation we know and love of being sucked into the movie world when we sit down in front of the big screen.

Somehow, action movies have developed into having…
