First Reformed (2017)



A minister of a small congregation in upstate New York grapples with mounting despair brought on by tragedy, worldly concerns and a tormented past.

Intense psychological drama effortlessy weighs in heavy topics and creates suspense by slowly escalating these issues; Hawke surprises with a stellar performance;  puzzling ending might disappoint some viewers.

The Killing (1956)


Crooks plan and execute a daring race-track robbery.

Tough noir-style heist drama, meticulously directed with an unusual time structure and a first-rate cast.

On rewatching: perfect noir thriller, every view you find new details.

Halliwell**: "Incisive, entertaining, downbeat caper movie clearly influenced by The Asphalt Jungle and Rififi."

Maltin***1/2: "The film that really put Kubrick on the map - a case study of a racetrack heist, with a colorful cast of characters...Major flaw: the Dragnet-style narration."

Predator (1987)


A team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.

Straightforward action thriller seamlessly turns a violent military jungle commando into a cat-and-mouse game with an alien hunter.

Halliwell (no star): "Lethargic action thriller with unpleasant moments."

Maltin***: "Solid, suspenseful action film takes time getting started, but emerges a grabber."

BlacKkKlansman (2018)


Ron Stallworth, an African American police officer from Colorado Springs, CO, successfully manages to infiltrate the local Ku Klux Klan branch with the help of a Jewish surrogate who eventually becomes its leader. Based on actual events.

This well-made satire is quite entertaining, although not so much as caricature, since the abusrd premise, based on true events, is in itself already quite amusing; nonethless, it does have some considerable political bite.
