Last movie. James Gunn’s SUPERMAN. Best superhero movie of the year. And it’s all yours.

And now we get to two of this year’s releases. Benicio Del Toro has had a phenomenal year. If you loved him in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, you should definitely see this charming Wes Anderson entry.

One of the greatest Westerns of the 1980s - which isn’t saying much, since there weren’t a ton of them. This one’s easily one of the best, though. In glorious 4K to boot!

Bill Paxton’s directorial debut is a horror all-timer. The Lionsgate 4K physical disc is a beaut - but you get it for free. This one’s a stunner, folks.

This next one’s a two-fer. I can’t be sure if one’s the Director’s cut and one’s theatrical. Both versions will scare the crap out of you. Here’s the first code:

David Fincher’s controversial follow-up to FIGHT CLUB hit 4K this year. I dug it as an exercise, though I bet it feels dated now. Who cares, it’s free!

I liked this one more than most. If you heard mixed and skipped it, here’s your chance to see it for free! Adam Driver, dinosaurs, and laser guns, oh my!

I grew up a mile from Delmar Stadium, where this was filmed. I’ve flown kites there (as most people did there on weekends; it was known for that before the movie made it famous). I had my hair cut at Max’s dad’s barber shop. RUSHMORE wasn’t only shot in my town, it was shot in my specific area.

She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won’t feel as alone
As she does it’s been two years and counting,
Since they put her in this place,
She’s been diagnosed by some stupid fuck
And mommy agrees, yeah!

WICKED: FOR GOOD - There are scenes I loved, but there’s also way too much space, and WICKED would have been better served by being one film. It would be a long movie, but so what, as old fashioned as WICKED is, give it an intermission and do it old school. New songs are fine. Final act is great.
