Thoughts on He Got Game (1998). The closest we'll get to Hoop Dreams being made into a narrative. One of Spike Lee's best. Link to read in bio.

Thoughts on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961). The movie's okay, but the remastering on Netflix is so good with colors so vibrant, it's like watching a Wes Anderson film. Link to read… https://t.co/yFWXg36LO4

Thoughts on Command Decision (1948). I was expecting a classic WWII action film and instead found a cerebral chamber drama exploring the politics of war. Link to read in… https://t.co/5XZFstYoFZ

Thoughts on Cloak and Dagger (1946). Fritz Lang's underrated WWII spy thriller is up there with the best from the era, whether Hitchcock or Carol Reed; confirming that Lang's by the far… https://t.co/fxJ2QXZ3Ci

Thoughts on Top Hat (1935). Beyond the classic "Cheek to Cheek" song & dance number, this is another snoozer from Astaire/Rogers. Link to read in bio.

Thoughts on Love on the Run (1979). The final film in Truffaut's Antoine Doinel series, and the title character somehow manages to be even more insufferable. Link to read in… https://t.co/vQTqe0a5am

Thoughts on Batman Begins (2005). Nolan joins the  crème de la crème of summertime trilogies - Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars. Link to read in… https://t.co/9ySMstPitZ

Thoughts on Wind River (2017). For a film that hopes to shed light on the plight of Native American communities, this is an incredibly - and needlessly - white movie. Link to read in… https://t.co/72KhlUBlFP

Thoughts on Welcome to Leith (2015). A surreal and terrifying documentary of how a bunch of Neo-Nazis attempt to take over a small North Dakota town. Recommended by t.stop_d. Link to read… https://t.co/IoUDeZgaEE
