  Tampopo 1985

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Mar 2025

  Now I'm fucking hungry but I swear to god if when I go into a ramen restaurant and the setup doesn't look like a rundown mom and pop shop but a Michelin star restaurant like at the end of the movie, I'm walking the fuck out.

  The Raid 2 2014

  ★★½ Watched 05 Feb 2025

  What a disappointment.

   They saved the most interesting fight for the last 20 minutes, leaving everything before it feeling stretched and underwhelming.

  The added plot felt unnecessarily dragged out—more stunts, sure, but at the cost of the film’s original simplicity.

  Heaven Is Still Far Away 2016

  ★★★ Watched 10 Dec 2024

  A short film’s biggest challenge is making us care within a limited time, and this movie struggles with that.

  Even with only three characters, none felt interesting.

  The film tries to show the feeling of regret through three characters, each facing it in a different way. However, their stories feel shallow, making the film seem more like an idea than an emotional experience.

  I wish it had been a bit longer.

  High Tension 2003

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Aug 2024

  I honestly didn't think I was going to enjoy it this much. In the first half, I was admiring the overall "mise en scène" with some really breathtaking sequences and shots, but then the second half hit, and I can understand why some people are "upset" about it. Personally,  I thought it was a pretty nice twist.
