  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★½ Added

  💀Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17 is a film at war with itself—half cerebral sci-fi, half chaotic satire, but never a satisfying whole. The story wrestles with deep existential questions but keeps undercutting itself with abrupt tonal shifts, as if multiple drafts from different eras of the production got tangled together.

  Themes of corporate greed, worker expendability and identity swirl around, but rather than complimenting one another, they trip over themselves. Over-reliance on voiceover turns what should be gripping into a lecture,…

The sound design howls and whispers, wrapping around you like a cursed fog, while the Dolby Atmos effect turns every creak and breath into something monstrous. Visually, it’s staggering—so richly textured and hauntingly beautiful that it almost distracts from the horror unfolding. It’s Shakespearean in its…

  Civil War 2024

  ★★★½ Added 1

  I guess Nick Offerman read that he's only in the first two and last two minutes of the film so he declined to dye his hair grey, in favor of a bad wig. This movie could have used more of him, wigged up or not.

  The details of this civil war are pretty vague, and the action is fairly infrequent until the final 20 minutes, so be prepared. There's dense lore that hardly even seems to matter. I think a…
