Happy to participate in Screen Slate’s annual poll: Best Movies of 2024: First Viewings & Discoveries and Individual Ballots My pics:
Fun to scroll through – so many people polled, including directors like Pedro Almodovar and Whit Stilman!

Lured was one of my First Viewings maybe 3 years ago, I loved it. Man, Lucille Ball, what a performance. That cast!
Cane River I also really liked. Not quite the “wow” factor of Lured, but then it’s not that kind of movie.
I started Hundreds of Beavers last night; it definitely starts well. The Brutalist continues elusive.
yes – Lured!! It’s so creepy and good. Great mystery.
yeah Cane River is a little gem – it’s rough around the edges and that’s in its favor. I loved its earnestness and how much it had to say. There was something really pure about the experience.
The Brutalist opens on the 20th!
