The Phonecian Scheme: Review

Myself, I feel very safe.

You know what you’re getting into when you dive into a Wes Anderson film. There’s his quirky style (usually varying degrees of Pastels) that feels very vintage, but also modern. You’re going to get a camera on a tripod that will swivel just so onto actors as they deliver witty, clever monologues.…

Child of Divorce, 1946 – ★★★

  • Jim Keel
  • 05/30/2025

Is this anti-divorce propaganda? This was rough! I am NOT a child of divorce, but I can just imagine the visceral reaction I would have had to these situations unfolding in front of me.

It’s weird length just rough ending makes me feel like it isn’t even a movie.

Stranger Than Paradise, 1984 – ★★★½

  • Jim Keel
  • 05/25/2025

Minimalism at its coolest and most awkward. Jarmusch delivers a slice-of-life road movie that drifts through moments of dry humor and quiet longing. Eva is easily the heart of this film—so likeable and earnest that you can’t help but root for her.

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning Review

  • Geoff Stevens
  • 05/25/2025

Please just let it be over

Mission Impossible–there are eight of these films in the ether now.

That’s a lot of impossible missions. The latest one is what was supposed to be Dead Reckoning: Part Two, which was supposed to have been shot back to back with Part One, and I think all of that fell apart once some of the numbers started to come in for Part One.…

Late Night with the Devil, 2023 – ★★★★ (contains spoilers)

  • Jim Keel
  • 05/23/2025

This review may contain spoilers.

In Late Night with the Devil, directors Cameron and Colin Cairnes deliver more than just a clever genre twist. They conjure a richly symbolic, savagely sharp critique of ambition, media, and the corrosive cost of success.

Andor Season 2 – Episode 7 – 12

  • Geoff Stevens
  • 05/21/2025

Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do.

Companion, 2025 – ★★½ (contains spoilers)

  • Jim Keel
  • 05/16/2025

This review may contain spoilers.

Who the hell am I supposed to root for in this? The AI robot that murders someone? Or the absolutely dogshit human beings that make up the rest of the cast? Everyone is either a manipulative asshole, a complete coward, or just straight-up unbearable.

Police Story, 1985 – ★★★½

  • Jim Keel
  • 05/14/2025

This movie is like if a Looney Tunes cartoon collided with a demolition derby and someone yelled “ACTION!” halfway through.

The slapstick is gloriously dumb in all the right ways. Phones get karate-chopped, cars go airborne, Jackie crashes through the most glass I’ve ever seen.
