Dune (2021)

Denis Villeneuve’s sprawling adaptation of Dune (Part One) captures a sense of cosmic scale unlike anything since 2001… which it transcends.

Don’t Look Up (2021)

Adam McKay’s smart little apocalyptic satire is one of the best comedies in years, and a gut-punch of social commentary. Its slick, fast-paced, and definitely not subtle. But maybe thats just the kind of catharsis we need right now. Is it a metaphor for governments gross miss-handling of the Covid Pandemic, Climate Change, something else? […]

Whimsical

It’s only a whimsical notion. redit Michael Nesmith of the Monkees. A great songwriter and musician but mainly unknown. Check Rio out I always get this mixed up with “Suzzane” by Leonard Cohen. Suzzane and Joanne they both so great you can’t go wrong if you choose the wrong girl.

San Ignacio

Weird observations. We pride our selves on obscure opinion. So why would we bring up bruschetta? We encountered the best we’ve ever had at the Coyote Grill. Coyote Grill is the restaurant that serves the golf course San Ignacio. This is in Green Valley, Arizona. Not much left to say except if you’re around Green […]

The 1995 Masters

Mack the Knife

Mack the knife Most people have heard Mack the Knife. Most people would think it was written by Bobby Darin, the singer who made it a hit. But they would be wrong. Even the year it was written is a good question.  Most people would guess the fifties – which would also be wrong. “Mack […]

Henry Fool (1998)

Hal Hartley’s first entry in his Grim Family trilogy is his most famous, critically acclaimed, and in my opinion; best.

Red Rock West (1993)

John Dahl’s western noir/thriller is real 90’s hidden gem with great performances, strong cinematography, and plenty of entertaining twists.

Lamb (2021)

Valdimar Jóhannsson’s directoral debut is less a horror film and much more an unnerving arthouse drama.

Titane (2021)

Julia Ducournau’s genre-bending body horror masterpiece took the Cannes 2021 Palm d’Or.

The Big Lebowski (1998)

`The Dude’ abides…The Cohen Brother’s  The Big Lebowski has somewhat of a cult following and some people just don’t get it.  If you are a product of the 60’s or 70’s then you probably had a friend just like him. Matter of fact, you probably had a friend like Walter and Donny too.  Many of […]

Pig (2021)

The simultaneous bravery and vulnerability of forgiveness burns clean through Cage’s best work yet.  This movie is a real hidden gem. Or better, the rarest of truffles.

Annette (2021)

Leos Carax directs the surrealist pop-opera written by The Sparks Brothers. The exaggerated artifice of the modern musical…

Leonard Cohen

  Now in Vienna there’s ten pretty womenThere’s a shoulder where Death comes to cryThere’s a lobby with nine hundred windowsThere’s a tree where the doves go to dieThere’s a piece that was torn from the morningAnd it hangs in the Gallery of FrostAy, Ay, Ay, AyTake this waltz, take this waltzTake this waltz with […]

Ricky Nelson

Ricky Nelson is one of the most under-rated singer/songwriter almost always looked over as one of the greatest rock, and country rock performers. Reviews and opinions on rock stars.

I Married a Witch (1942)

Rene Clair’s lighthearted screwball comedy is an absolute delight. Veronica Lake is smoldering with her signature peekaboo bangs.
