379) THE UPRISING

(2026 dir. Paul Greengrass) Date Seen: September 19 2026

Working poor audiences across most of the Western hemisphere are carrying a palpable appetite for revolt due to decades of scorched-earth austerity policies in our countries. & despite its faults, UPRISING gives all that accumulated fury a cathartic outlet. It helps that the cast is also exceptionally good. (+ As far as Greengrass films go, this was a significant improvement over his last disaster picture)

Look, it ain't no BATTLE OF ALGIERS but it's gonna have to do for now.

367) HOPE

(2026 dir. Na Hong-jin) Date Seen: September 10 2026

"Devil Hulk" from The Immortal Hulk & "Cooper" from SUPER 8 (2011) ain't got time for a bunch provincial Earthling bumpkins. Arguably one of the more exhilarating pieces of action filmmaking for the whole of 2026.. I do worry though that Neon's marketing campaign for it is leaning a little too hard into horror. HOPE's clearly a horror hybrid, but I wonder if they're running the risk of genre-drift backlash with more mainstream audiences. (whatever gets arses into theatre seats I guess)

"I think Hope Davis starred in that -"

"THAT'S NOT HOPE!!"
