The Neighbor (2016) 71% 4/4 EDIT “That, ultimately, is why "The Neighbor" packs such a strong punch. While there are thousands of thrillers out there about larger-than-life heroes fighting equally impressive (if unlikeable) bad guys, "The Neighbor" is more gritty and grounded.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Wag the Dog (1997) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “Once you start to exhibit healthy skepticism toward the government’s actions and motives, they start to seem less like an Orwellian superstate and more like a collection of cocky crooks just one step ahead of the good guys.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3.5/4 EDIT “"Avatar: Fire and Ash" is an immensely entertaining follow up to "Avatar" and "Avatar: The Way of Water". The movie is, without question, the one hard-core fans were hoping for.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% 3.5/4 EDIT “Watch the movie, then read the book, as I was lucky enough to have done. If you do it the other way around, you might be disappointed.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Filmworker (2017) 96% 4/4 EDIT “As clearly established in "Filmworker," the 2017 documentary about Vitali’s life, the onetime British movie/TV star sunk into obscurity when he gave up acting to become right-hand man to one of the greatest film directors of all time, Stanley Kubrick.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Killing (1956) 96% 4/4 EDIT “Kubrick created a superior work of art, one that has influenced crime movies from "Reservoir Dogs" and "Heat" to "Ocean’s Eleven" and "The Town."” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) 98% 4/4 EDIT “He would rather risk global nuclear holocaust than live in a world which compromises his manhood…. even if it is only compromised in his own mind. This brings me to why "Dr. Strangelove" is my favorite Kubrick film.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Society (1989) 67% 4/4 EDIT “If you want to watch a gross horror movie in the finest cinematic satirical tradition, stretching from "They Live" to "The Substance," I highly recommend "Society."” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Killer's Kiss (1955) 83% 3.5/4 EDIT “The genius of “Killer’s Kiss,” which ranks as a great movie despite Kubrick dismissing it as “frivolous,” is that it shows how the REAL New York City is in fact a “sinister nightmare world” where widespread poverty causes “imprisonment of body or soul."” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Ghosts Can't Do It (1990) 0/4 EDIT “I recommend “Ghosts Can’t Do It” — not as a romantic comedy, nor even as a “so bad it’s good movie”... No, I recommend “Ghosts Can’t Do It” so that anyone who doesn’t understand Trump and his fellow oligarchs will gain some knowledge.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) 39% 3.5/4 EDIT “If you want to watch a thought-provoking and scary horror movie that can be summed up as “Defund the Police: The Movie,” you should check out “Spiral.”” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Saw X (2023) 81% 3.5/4 EDIT “The blinding flashes from fluorescent lighting and MRI machines, the ominous buzzes and thuds of medical equipment. Like all great medical dramas, you can practically smell the antiseptic ER room odors through your screen.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Eyes Wide Shut (1999) 76% 3.5/4 EDIT ““The women involved have been silenced before and will be forgotten again,” Ritzenhoff said. “It is the drama around male privilege that has the entertainment value.”” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Aug 27, 2025 Full Review Saw II (2005) 39% 4/4 EDIT ““Saw II” is a staple in any horror movie fan’s diet. If you want to know “Saw,” you have to know “Saw II.”” – matthewrozsa.com Aug 25, 2025 Full Review 12 Angry Men (1957) 100% 4/4 EDIT “The 1957 courtroom drama (based on an acclaimed 1954 teleplay) celebrates reasoned dissent, open debate, and the power of a single voice challenging consensus, principles Bhattacharya values deeply, especially in science.” – Reason Online Aug 2, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 4/4 EDIT ““Superman” is stuffed with poignant character moments, humorous interludes and a veritable menagerie of cute animals (most notably, of course, Krypto).” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 3/4 EDIT ““Jurassic Park Rebirth” fully fleshes out anti-capitalist themes that previous installments only hinted at. For that reason alone, “Jurassic World Rebirth” is a masterpiece.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Waltzing with Brando (2024) 56% 3.5/4 EDIT “Like a jaunty waltz, the movie’s tone is light and breezy, happily bouncing between plot points with lengthy pauses to explore the ideas and personalities that animated Brando’s ambitious project.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Primary Colors (1998) 80% 4/4 EDIT “A terrible missed opportunity occurred 27 years ago. When “Primary Colors” was released in March 1998, critics and audiences alike focused on the movie’s sexual content rather than its substantive views on tariff policy.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Visions (2015) 24% 4/4 EDIT “At its core, Visions is about a woman who is stubbornly not believed, except by other women.” – Dread Central Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “Final Destination: Bloodlines is more than a movie. In a single scene starring a legendary thespian, it offers enough profound philosophy to form the basis of its own religion.” – Dread Central May 28, 2025 Full Review Hollidaysburg (2014) 78% 4/4 EDIT “Since I was raised in Pennsylvania like Lukas, I could practically feel the industrial dust and chilly autumn wind on my skin, and savor the multi-flavored pumpkin pies and other rich Thanksgiving fixings.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) May 23, 2025 Full Review Bulworth (1998) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Timid politicians shrinks in the face of that danger. Brave leaders acknowledge the danger but, if the stakes are sufficiently high, proceed anyway.” – Democracy at Work (Substack) May 23, 2025 Full Review Green Room (2015) 90% 4/4 EDIT “This underrated 2015 thriller predicted Trump’s America.” – Dread Central Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) 76% 4/4 EDIT “Nothing more quickly hollows out a society than hatred of immigrants, whether practiced by blue aliens on Pandora or red hats in Trump’s America.” – matthewrozsa.com Feb 28, 2025 Full Review
