Not sure how I missed COP CAR from back in 2015. Two kids steal a crooked sheriff’s squad car and complications ensue. A nicely done, small-scale thriller. The kids were a little too naïve to be believable, but Kevin Bacon and Shea Whigham were fantastic.

Should I correct my Oura when it thinks I’m doing yoga but I’m actually writing? I guess they’re kind of the same. They both make me twist into weird positions and breathe funny.

Getting my 1970s LA noir on with STRAIGHT TIME, Dustin Hoffman as an ex-con trying to go straight. (Spoiler: He can’t. Complications ensue.) Great supporting cast including Harry Dean Stanton, Emmett Walsh, and Gary Busey. Available on @criterionchannl.bsky.social

Looking for a crime thriller that’s not the usual fare? Try CURE on @criterion.bsky.social It’s about a Tokyo detective investigating a series of unconnected murders that all have the same MO. A great but disturbing film, especially when you figure out the ending.

The best show on TV right now? FURIOUS on Hulu. An FBI agent chases a serial killer. Sure, you’ve seen this premise a thousand times before, but you’ve never seen it done like this.

Random movie find: GAME NIGHT on HBO. Jason Bateman’s weekly game night goes awry when his brother plans a murder mystery game that becomes more than anyone bargained for. Part comedy, part thriller—all of it big fun.

Watching Tod Browning’s THE UNKNOWN. Lon Chaney plays an armless circus performer who goes to extreme lengths to win the love of the circus owner’s daughter, 21-year-old Joan Crawford. A brilliant but genuinely disturbing film especially considering it’s from 1925.

My personal noir film festival continues with ONE FALSE MOVE (1991) about two LA cops paired with a small town sheriff as they wait for a crew of robbers to hit town. Billy Bob Thornton stars and cowrote the script. More than just a crime flick, this one has some depth to it.

Exploring Mykonos, Greece, famous for its narrow twisted streets originally designed to thwart pirates. From the whitewashed buildings and blue-domed churches to Little Venice and the famous windmills, it’s easy to see why Mykonos is one of the most popular destinations in the Greek Islands.

Really enjoyed talking with our Istanbul Uber driver using Google Translate. We discussed marriage, family, and his son’s circumcision. The snip-snip hand motions added a certain je ne sais quoi to the conversation.

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to watch FITZCARRALDO. What a fantastic, brilliant, completely unhinged film. Speaking of unhinged, Klaus Kinski turns the crazy up so high in the movie the dial falls off.

What do you do when you can’t figure out what happens next in your story? I like to talk to my writers group. Just make sure you sit down at the right table. If you were working on a mystery or a crime thriller—or any piece of fiction—what’s your go-to method to get over writer’s block?

Really enjoyed CRIME 101. As heist movies go, this one checks all the boxes. Action packed, a sympathetic hero, and a great story. Bonus points for Barry Keoghan’s excellent portrayal of a motorcycle-riding sociopath. (Confession: I didn’t know Nick Nolte was still alive.)

Harry Hunsicker @harryhunsicker.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

Watching Don Siegel’s MADIGAN (1968), a gritty precursor to his film DIRTY HARRY. Richard Widmark is a cop who has 72 hours to find the gun he lost or he’ll run afoul of Henry Fonda, the police commish. Bonus points for everyone wearing a fedora and having a mistress.

For your end of the year viewing pleasure, allow me to suggest RELAY on Netflix, about a fixer who helps whistleblowers while hiding his identity using a relay service for the deaf. That pitch does not do justice to the film. It’s edge-of-your-seat tension from start to finish.

Harry Hunsicker @harryhunsicker.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

My personal noir film festival continues with John Cassavetes’ THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE. Ben Gazzara, owner of the saddest strip club in LA, is a degenerate gambler who finds himself in debt to some bad people. Complications ensue. Great film if for nothing more than the gritty 1970s setting.

Harry Hunsicker @harryhunsicker.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

My personal Thanksgiving film festival continues with Yorgos Lanthimos’ THE LOBSTER, a bleak but humorous story about a dystopian future where you have 30 days to find love or you’ll be turned into the animal of your choice. Spoiler: It gets weird after that. Really enjoyed the film.

Harry Hunsicker @harryhunsicker.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

Why aren’t more people talking about AMERICANA, Tony Tost’s crime thriller/neo noir western? Utterly captivating film. Quirky, darkly humorous, maybe a little too languid for some. I loved it. Think Quentin Tarantino crossed with Wim Wenders but very much its own thing.

Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN. Bad dads make bad dads. I loved every frame. Spectacular film.

Finally watched THE BRUTALIST, which, come to find out, is not named for its nearly four hour runtime. (Though honestly it didn’t feel that long.) The film is excellent but depressing. In a nutshell: artists be crazy; don’t trust rich dudes. Stellar performances from Adrian Brody and Guy Pearce.

Getting my 1950s melodrama on with Vincent Minnelli’s SOME CAME RUNNING. Frank Sinatra is a hard-drinking writer learning how hard it is to return home. Dean Martin is his pal, a professional gambler. Yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds.

Looking for a great cop show? Check out DEPARTMENT Q on Netflix. It’s about a burnt out antisocial detective assigned to handle cold cases. Yeah we’ve seen this before, but show runner Scott Frank (The Queen’s Gambit) manages to put a fresh binge-worthy spin on it.
