You know what’s funnier than believing in the talking snake, Bill? Still being a fedora tipping epic atheist asshole in your fifties. Bill’s right-wing influencer turn is the least surprising thing ever

Why does this remind me so much of 500 Days of Summer, like a 15 year-ish update? I guess it's because this film is also about perceptions and projections as a dangerous mix of loneliness and narcissism, but Dennis is demonstratively mea…

Bunny Lake Is Missing, 1965 - ★★★

The Little Things, 2021 - ★★

There’s a version of this film that finds tension in the banality of police work. This isn’t it; it's just banal. Leto brings some creep value, but Denzel looks checked out, and Malek barely makes a dent. Annoyingly self-serious, une…
