Sinners (2025)

 

I enjoyed the first half, discovering the character layers of the twin brothers. Music was used to great effect in the film as well. The vampire part felt disconnected from the first half. This would have been a much better film if it were simply the Klan versus the twin brothers and their crew. No vampires.

American Made (2017)

If you already don't think the world is a terrible place full of corrupt governments that make incredibly stupid decisions everyday, well then, this movie probably won’t save you from your epic ignorance. But that’s ok, at least you’ll be entertained. Ignorance is bliss after all. This movie serves as a nice companion piece to the terrific series Narcos. Check it out.

Rating: C+

Gone Girl (2014)

A throwback to some of David Fincher’s earlier films where things aren’t what they seem, and the twists keep coming. I enjoyed the ride. Puzzle pieces were revealed at the right pace. The shifting timeline worked. I can’t say I’m happy with the ending, but it makes sense in the context of the film.
