The Straight Story (1999) 95% “Lynch directs the quiet saga of septuagenarian Alvin Straight piloting his riding lawnmower from Iowa to Wisconsin the way only Lynch knew how—equal parts tenderness, agony and entrancing patience. ” – Willamette Week Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% “Lacking in all framing—both a sharp choice and a convenient escape hatch for attempted apoliticism—Warfare is a tense, terse snapshot that’s more coordinates than story.” – Willamette Week Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Long Goodbye (1973) 95% “Even when The Long Goodbye is ’70s shaggy, director Robert Altman (at the height of his powers) maintains a core tension within Marlowe’s wild goose chase. ” – Willamette Week Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Friend (2024) 83% “Most of The Friend... unfolds as a light, occasionally frustrating sitcom. ” – Willamette Week Apr 14, 2025 Full Review Bull Durham (1988) 97% “The fact that Bull Durham savors the scuzzier side of the game makes it all the more romantic. ” – Willamette Week Apr 14, 2025 Full Review Speed Racer (2008) 42% “Behold the racing stripes and lipstick so red they’d make Technicolor blush, and live-action performances (by almost everyone but star Emile Hirsch) reaching for the transcendently unrestrained hysteria of action anime.” – Willamette Week Apr 3, 2025 Full Review It Happened One Night (1934) 98% “Arguably Frank Capra’s first classic.” – Willamette Week Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Y tu mamá también (2001) 90% “Y Tu Mamá También is a bracing depiction of adolescence’s sudden end. ” – Willamette Week Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Lost Boys (1987) 75% “While the cast is fun, Schumacher is predictably at his best when The Lost Boys is a vibe check, aestheticizing vampires into an ’80s fashion ideal as they race their motorcycles down the beach, power ballads wailing into the night. ” – Willamette Week Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% “Half the joy of Ridley Scott’s miraculous sophomore film is watching Weaver ascend from the film’s pack of charismatic character actors to become a movie icon in under two hours.” – Willamette Week Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Snowpiercer (2013) 94% “Snowpiercer holds a violent thrill, a stomach plummet, and a soul-crashing revelation behind each new compartment door.” – Willamette Week Mar 1, 2025 Full Review Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) 92% “Eternal Sunshine is still a testament to that flickering moment when Carrey surrendered his abilities to great filmmakers, as well as composer Jon Brion’s facility with aching woodwinds.” – Willamette Week Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Lost Highway (1997) 69% “Evil flows like an invisible current through Lost Highway, one of Lynch’s feel-bad best. ” – Willamette Week Feb 12, 2025 Full Review New Jack City (1991) 81% “Cooper’s script detests the city-conquering gangster Nino Brown (Snipes), but Mario Van Peebles’ camera is in love with him. The result is an indelible villain, memorialized by wild Dutch angles and prodigious overhead cinematography.” – Willamette Week Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Oh Canada (2024) 64% “Oh, Canada undulates too much between staid and loopy.” – Willamette Week Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Singin' in the Rain (1952) 100% “It’s an extravaganza of color, joy and mockery of hokey romances, but perhaps above all, you couldn’t re-create the miracle of Gene Kelly’s footwork with a billion-dollar supercomputer and a contract with the devil.” – Willamette Week Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) 93% “The characters are fairly ordinary San Franciscans—a health inspector, a lab tech, a bathhouse operator—but the way Kaufman’s film deals with emotion or lack of it feels like a warning to unremarkable people.” – Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Friday (1995) 77% “Friday soars every time John Witherspoon (as Craig’s dad) is on screen, embarking on unstoppable improv jags about his job as a dog catcher.” – Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Across 110th Street (1972) 84% “Across 110th Street is defined by gripping, sweaty Dutch-angle close-ups and a keen sense that every character in the movie has someone else’s boots on their neck.” – Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Clockwatchers (1997) 87% “This workplace comedy gets its kicks on both lightly Kafkaesque mystery and the disappointment of young people seeking identity outside of work while perched precariously and anonymously on the edge of career opportunity.” – Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025 Full Review The Blob (1988) 69% “Director Chuck Russell’s remake of the 1958 B-movie maintains the notion of an all-consuming ooze gorging itself on a small town but infuses it with body horror, fluorescent jelly, and a nothing-is-sacred disaster movie attitude.” – Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Bring It On (2000) 65% “Amid all its convincing choreography and tossing bodies 20 feet into the air, Bring It On rides the line between satire and teenage dramedy. That’s a disastrous liminal space if handled carelessly.” – Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025 Full Review The Last Unicorn (1982) 76% “The heavy-hoofed red bull and an interlude in which the unicorn is conscripted into a traveling circus alongside a harpy are so visually striking and wordlessly monstrous that they’ll lodge themselves in your gray matter forever.” – Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025 Full Review The Worst Person in the World (2021) 96% “You might be momentarily skeptical on rewatch that The Worst Person in the World unfolds in 12 chapters. But they fly past... with Reinsve never playing anything but an intelligent, malleable character who’s trying to be the hero of her own story.” – Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Paris, Texas (1984) 95% “Stanton—playing mute for the first act of Wim Wenders’ revered neo-Western—effectively authors the movie’s tone and pathos with his sorrowful, bottomless irises, right alongside Ry Cooder’s soul-quivering slide guitar score.” – Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025 Full Review
