The Enforcer is entertaining enough, although it seems lighter than Dirty Harry and Magnum Force. It also feels like it's just bordering on parody. []. 7/10, but not good enough to make my Top 10.

Speaking of Burnett, I just found out that the National Gallery of Art is currently streaming a selection of Billy Woodberry's films, including Bless Their Little Hearts (which Burnett wrote and photographed).

Just because...
The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild
The last book I read was...
The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own

I’ll discuss it when y’all have seen it. Enjoy, although that may not be the right word... ;-)
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
Really that good, huh? I was worried it was going to be full of itself. I'll check it out.

Well, I’ve only seen four new movies this year.Quoting Spun Lepton (view post)

What's your rating out of 10?

Uhhhh.... 8? I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I think I’ve enjoyed most A24 films that I’ve seen.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
Here's the A24 movie that will definitely break that streak:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4411234/
I'll check out Saint Maud for sure.

Wow.....
Edit: I hadn’t realized just how many films A24 put out, so my first statement doesn’t hold nearly as much weight.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I like A24 but I'm sure they put out bad films just like any other studio.

I haven't liked any of the Horror movies I've seen from them, but they do tend to make really good dramas; Moonlight ftw!
Saint Maud is unfortunately one of them for me.
Hot Summer Nights is another bad one.
Just out of curiosity, as a non-fan of the A24 Horrors I've seen myself, what didn't you care for about it?
Weak, uninteresting script. Amateur filmmaking skills.
Love the Omega Man avatar, DFA.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
The Dead Don’t Die was not good.
That's too bad - I did like his vampire film a bit.
Thats being polite.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I thought it started off all right but went down the tubes real fast.
