I agree that it was unfairly judged. Some very cool old school stunts in Cutthroat Island, and it had been said by some that Geena just wasn't cut out to be an action hero. Those people are proven galactically stupid and wrong by her very next movie. After CI, Her then husband Renny Harlin's career as a successful big budget director was over, and Geena suffered too as her offers got smaller. It is a shame, because Long Kiss Goodnight was such a blast.

Cutthroat Island was such a massive bomb that studios did not want to chance making another in the genre for 8 years. Then Disney gave us the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Uncut Gems reminded me so much of Bad Lieutenant, and I had the same panicky feeling of anxiety watching both films.

There is such a thing as too much Wacko Tahiti.
The Joker I liked it the first time I saw it, when it was called Taxi Driver and King of Comedy.

This cannot be true. Tom Waits, Iggy, Joan Jett, and many others would disagree, and those are just examples of old school cool in the music industry.

The film is not without its charm, and Paul Newman is watchable at any point in his career. Perhaps audiences preferred Hanks in his Sleepless in Seattle type roles at this point in his career. IMO, he did a fine job in the role, and the film still stands up well today.

This movie makes me want to do a desk pop, but then I remember that kind of behavior is frowned upon for kindergarten teachers.

Under The Silver Lake
I went in not knowing a damn thing about it, and it was a very enjoyable surprise. A trippy film noir style adventure with many a turn and a plot that involves numbers and conspiracies, but I wouldn't get hung up on that, because the film is so beautifully shot.
Also loved BJ Novak's Vengeance

Running Scared (2006) is one of the greatest anxiety inducing, white knuckle rides of its genre. And I'm not even talking about the curve ball they throw you out of nowhere that may be the single greatest revenge fantasy ever committed to film.
