In his first memoir, Ander Monson guides readers through a scene-by-scene exploration of the 1987 film Predator, which he has watched 146 times. Some fighters might not have time to bleed, but Monson has the patience to consider their adventure, one frame at a time. He turns his obsession into a lens through which he poignantly examines his own life, formed by mainstream, White, male American culture.

Really clicked into this one when I realized it was deadpan, understated Sirk. It's got grand, sweeping emotions tucked under detached irony and that all came together really well for me. And Kaurismäki's view of the struggling, marginalized people is so well observed. It really hit me in a way I wasn't expecting given it's tone. I loved this quite a bit.
Oscars Death Race 26/53
Harrowing. Not a single noise uttered from the crowd as the credits rolled. A sort of collective, stunned silence. One I’m glad I watched, will never rewatch, and could only really say an exasperated “damn” as I left the theater.
There have been many films exploring the Holocaust and the immeasurable evil of the Nazis, but not like this. Day to day life with jerk neck reminders of pure, unabridged evil in the most mundane moments.…
The Really Bad Times at El Royale
Really captures the claustrophobia of a question.
Great performances, especially by the dog Snoop who honestly was maybe the best dog actor I've ever seen
