Movie Breakdown: Black Bag
Pre-Screening Stance: A spy thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh that stars Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett? Yes. I mean, even if it’s not awesome (or even good), it’ll at least be interesting. Post-Screening Ramble: Black...
Movie Breakdown: Novocaine
Pre-Screening Stance: I think Novocaine looks like it could be a good time. Admittedly, I’m not at all familiar with co-directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen’s previous films, but I’ve got faith in Jack Quaid...

Pre-Screening Stance: Brady Corbet’s last film was the messy something or other known as Vox Lux – a movie that didn’t exactly leave me chomping at the bit to see what he’d do next –...
Movie Breakdown: A Complete Unknown
Pre-Screening Stance: James Mangold is a good director, Timothée Chalamet is great actor, and Bob Dylan is a legend, but I have pretty minimal interest in A Complete Unknown because – frankly – it’s had...
