Mickey 17 2025
Really wanted to like this one - but it was all just a little too on the nose for me. On paper “space-opera-political-sci-fi-satire” from legendary director Bong Joon-Ho sounds like a dream come true - but the whole film is really poorly paced and is mired by middling acting and writing that was somewhat shocking to see in a Bong film.

Oh, Canada 2024
A pondering, passionate, daring, but ultimately messy late-era Schrader outing. Schrader conjures up some fleeting moments of brilliance here, and manages to touch on some core truths regarding mortality, memory, and the relationship between fact & fiction - but the reality is, the film is set within a shaky framework that constantly undermines your ability to establish a lasting relationship with its characters. While it’s constant jumping back and forth between its protagonists past and present opens the film up thematically, it…
