Mickey 17

2025

★★★½ Watched

Bong Joon-ho on vacation mode, and honestly? I'm here for it. After the social commentary sledgehammer of "Parasite," who'd have thought the director would pivot to what's essentially a sci-fi comedy romp starring multiple Robert Pattinsons? It could've been another cerebral exercise in class metaphors, but instead Bong delivers something unexpectedly straightforward and genuinely funny. Pattinson clearly had a blast playing against himself, bringing distinct personality to each iteration of Mickey without overplaying the gimmick, is this the dude from…

A Real Pain

2024

★★★★ Watched

Culkin delivers his best work since discovering the F-word in "Home Alone," playing a chaotically brilliant man-child whose unfiltered honesty makes him both impossible to live with and impossible not to love.

By the quietly devastating finale, I was reminded that some wounds never fully heal. Undramatic yet meaningful.

One Cut of the Dead

2017

★★★★★ Liked Watched

How do you intentionally make a bad movie and then come back and explain your actions? Well, One cut of the dead tells you how.

Extremely smart movie thats kind of captivating for its "so bad it's so good" parts in its initial 40 min runtime. But the next next hour is pure . damn genius and so funny that you simultaneously go ahhh!!! and also go into a laugh riot.

This is probably the most entertaining film this year and definitely needs to be seen by more people in its original form before Hollywood pecks it and makes a horrendous remake.
