    ★★★

    A quaint little vibes movie about a small town coming together to play the all-American game. 

    3 different characters sounded exactly like John DiMaggio. It was weird. 

    The movie was cute. Check it out if you can.

    ★★★½

    You can really see the building blocks of Anora with sprinkles of Red Rocket. 

    It’s got the fun donut shop drama of RR, the Safdie-esque city-traveling 1-day drama of Anora, and sad, skinny white ladies like Florida Project. It’s all there. All the classic Sean Baker tropes. 

    The final act was incredible.

    I did like FP more because of its location but Tangerine is much more exciting. 

    The fact that it was shot on an iPhone 5 is quaint but ultimately more distracting than interesting. Digital less than 4K sucks! FP on film makes it way better, unsurprisingly.

Bong Joon-ho appears to be swapping back and forth between serious and more fun. This was a fun one. It does say a lot about society as the subtext and metaphor hits you over the head…

    ★★★★

    A movie about honor, shame, forgiving yourself, redemption, and rearmament. This period piece set immediately after WW2 sees a disgraced Kamikaze pilot get repeatedly owned by Godzilla.  

    While “Shin Godzilla” (2016) was modern allegory for the failure of the Japanese government in its response to the Fukushima triple-disaster, this movie is a redemption story about Japan losing WW2. The people face a new threat; with their government being useless and their new imperial overlords from the West off fighting…
