A project of mine from years ago that I recently recovered the assets for and remastered for 4K, with new grade work, and reworked sound design. A compilation of black and white 16mm shot in Bozeman, MT, scanned in at 2K. My days were study and my evenings and weekends were dishwashing at a deli. On those nights I'd slip into the motions and just daydream of being anywhere else, doing anything else. In hindsight there was a certain serenity to the monotony.

Check it out here.

Obsessed with Woo's mise-en-scène. Negative space filled with doves, explosions, rubble, and kicks. The perfect movie is locked behind the unbridled version, but this is still leaps and bounds better than most others' entire filmographies.

Peak philosopher jock anthem. Reaching towards the limit and going beyond, for better and worse. Bodhi becomes ensnared by his righteous ideals as he searches for more, but in the process he frees Johnny. In a way, a tragedy.

Total mess that I hesitate to call a complete disaster based on its audacity, insanity, and occasionally rousing imagery. Also has some pretty genuinely funny moments. The kind of movie that constantly flops between worst and best of the year material. Has the naïvety and downright moronic ideas that only a multi-millionaire or aging liberal has, in this case both. This is more or less a $120m Neil Breen movie, monologues and all. I can't say I wasn't entertained, but I'm not so sure it was in a way Coppola intended. Every time someone said "megalon" all i could think of was him.

The moment this opened with the wreckage of a ship in space just for light to gleam across its surface revealing NOSTROMO I knew this was cooked. Not an ounce of this thing is its own, not even the good parts of which there are very few. Reverent image after reverent image, homage after homage, every ounce of iconography squeezed bone dry. Absolutely bloodless and gutless. And this is all before the genuinely freakish abomination that is the CG Ian Holm android Rook (haha get it?). Fucking sucks, essentially. There is one bad Alien.
