A Review of 'Train Dreams' (2025)
Beautiful movie, just watched it last night. It reminded me a lot of the novel *Stoner* in that it depicted the life of an ordinary man from birth to death — a man who is not necessarily remarkable, but whose life is in some way emblematic of the life experience everyone has. It’s the kind of story that can show you the beauty inherent in everyday sights and events. I actually really enjoyed the narration, because I don’t often notice it in the third person like it was here. And William H. Macy — what a character and performance. More on reddit.com

Joel Edgerton’s Anti-Charisma Has Become His Greatest Strength
I remember seeing him in It Comes At Night and I was convinced that he should've been a more popular contender for Joel in Last of Us. Definitely an actor with tons of versatility that I'm never disappointed whenever I see him in the cast. More on reddit.com
