Se7en (1995) Review

Se7en (1995) rates 9 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. The rain never stops, the city has no name, and the killer wins exactly as planned. Fincher's second film, made after a first one he has disowned.

The Usual Suspects (1995) Review

The Usual Suspects (1995) rates 8 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. A confession improvised from the noticeboard behind the detective's head. The twist survives knowing it, which is the only test that matters.

Taxi Driver (1976) Review

Taxi Driver (1976) rates 9 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. Schrader wrote it living in his car after a divorce, and the film never once steps outside Travis Bickle's head. The narration sounds reasonable. That is the horror.
