★★★★ Liked It’s a hoot! Half of it is Tom Cruise (as super secret agent Ethan Hunt) running with right-angled arms rhythmically slicing the air or hanging for dear life on the wings of a plane. Oh, he deep-sea dives too. The other half is all the other characters dearly explicating – for the audience’s benefit, should you care – and you really don’t need to – why Poor Tom, I mean, Ethan, has to do all that running and flying and diving. They do state that the fate of humanity is at stake....

★★★ An intricate, witty spy thriller screenplay by David Koepp and a game, attractive cast are let down by – how do I put it – muddy visuals and flat, dim lighting. This wants to be a fleet Stanley Donen / Hitchcockian caper, but I don’t know why director Steven Soderbergh – who otherwise directs fleetly – has such an, I hate to say it, humdrum visual aesthetic and unglamorous palette. So that even when he deploys a long cut-less tracking shot a la De Palma and Scorsese, as he does at the...

It’s really just a generic (in the best way) vampire flick (or a big-budget “American Horror Story”), dressed up with historical texture, tony gloss, and social consciousness, but fun. The civics lesson goes down easy because writer-director Ryan Coogler is a skilled craftsman (except perhaps in terms of overall movie length) and the way he plays around with genres is not off-putting, but engaging.

★★★★★ Brutal and healing at the same time. Incredibly humane and indubitably Catholic. My first time watch – in honor of Pope Francis.

★★★ A nice, tight Hitchcockian thriller with a clever, modern-day premise – until the last third when it becomes “Taken” or “Die Hard” – one over-the-top scene piling on another. My friend Hazel lost it after one character dangled off the side of a building, hanging on to a…tablecloth, was it? It was classy until it became a Netflix B-movie actioner. Certain of the audience (full theater because it was an advance screening) were gasping during the “nailbiting” climax, so I guess the...

A ★★★ review of Black Bag (2025) by @rafaelpreyes931 on @letterboxd: https://t.co/YYn89L9mzQ Wants to be a sleek Stanley Donen/Hitchcockian entertainment. It has its pleasures, but to my eyes it doesn't look fabulous.
I wish the movie had a better title, but “From Dusk Till Dawn” has been taken. A ★★★★ review of Sinners (2025) by @rafaelpreyes931 on @letterboxd: https://t.co/nntdzkP33d
Brutal and healing at the same time. Incredibly humane and indubitably Catholic. My first time watch – in honor of Pope Francis. No wonder it was one of his favorite movies. The scenes sear the mind. I am haunted. Indisputably a classic. https://t.co/e5ghe1tN1O
