Skinamarink
Would you like to see two hours of ankles, door frames, and ceilings? If you answered yes, Skinamarink is the movie for you. Never in my life have I watched such an awful movie, and I’ve seen Christmas Vacation 2, so that’s really saying something. This horror movie is horrible.

Jaws
June 1975. Millions of moviegoers flooded theaters. They clung to their seats, startled as a big Godzilla-style shark incited bigger fear. A young Steven Spielberg directed part monster thriller, part deadly chase. It does for ocean water what Hitchcock’s “Psycho” did for showers.

Aftersun (dir. Charlotte Wells)
Memories, misunderstood as crystallised time capsules trellising our pasts are anything but. Real and imagined crudely stitched. Some tactile; others soft as ghosts, likely to morph upon discovery. Both evocative, neither enough to paint someone’s lingering silhouette whole.

Victim/Suspect
This Netflix documentary is a must-watch, highlighting sexual assault cases nationwide that turned young victims into suspects. Led by the diligent efforts of journalist Rae de Leon, a modern-day hero, more than 200 cases were reinvestigated, which revealed incomplete reports, shaming, and systemic abuse of power by law enforcement officials.

Where The Crawdads Sing
Where The Crawdads Sing poetically weaves abandonment and isolation into a swampland setting. Perhaps even more lyrical are the things inferred yet unsaid and the subtle trail of hints of unseen events. Even still, the concept of Man's justice as opposed to the laws of nature is the most epic.

A Critique Of The Film π
π is the greatest Jewish horror/science fiction film about maths that you will probably ever see. It features Max who programs his computer to pick stock options and meets a friend who equates his calculations with the Torah. So after many traumas, Max finds peace sitting on a park bench.
