To Die For (1995)

Posted on July 7, 2021 by Jon Watches Movies

Director: Gus Van Sant Writer: Buck Henry (Based on the book by Joyce Maynard) Been a long time since I had seen it. Very good black comedy. Kidman kills it.

The Woman in the Window (2021)

Posted on May 17, 2021 by Jon Watches Movies

Director: Joe Wright Writer: Tracy Letts (Based on the novel by A.J. Finn) I enjoy Wright’s stylistic flourishes and the cast and crew is stacked with talent but overall this is a bust.

Posted on November 20, 2020 by Jon Watches Movies

Director: Clive Barker Writer: Clive Barker (Based on the novel “Cabal” by Clive Barker) A bit on an overstuffed mess but I totally appreciate the weirdness and ambition of this movie.
