Mickey 17

2025

★★★★ Watched

Interesting themes and motives around death and duplicity, individualism and community.

Pattinson is phenomenal, at an extensive range.

Tonally incoherent, a violent farce really.
Looks great, Snowpiercer the sequel.

Trump parody feels forced but maybe it's just annoying because he "won" the election. If the madness was behind us, a satire of his phoniness and mannerisms would go over much better I assume. But we all for sure want someone to scream this at him:

How does this make any sense?
How does your BULLSHIT make any sense?
Your fucking fuckface is what doesn't make any sense, you fucking IDIOT.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

2025

★★★★ Watched

Not sure what to rate this because it's a weird combination of lame exposition, tongue in cheek self ridicule, sincere sentimental nostalgia, and two of the most absolutely insanely great action set pieces ever. I guess the highest it gets is him suddenly jumping in the water.

Absolutely stunningly energetic. So funny, so rough. Such a beautiful chaotic outlook on love and pain. The silent tension culminating into that heartbreak of an ending is devastating, it broke a theatre, that was just before roaring of belly laughs, into weeping tears. This is by far the best movie of 2024 so far. Sean Baker you are outdoing even yourself here.
