  Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  I think this is the first actually good Mission Impossible movie.

  It’s easy to follow, looks great. It’s got all the things.

  Mickey 17 2025

  This feels like it could be in the same universe as Okja and Snowpiercer and I’m here for any political/social commentary that Bong Joon Ho wants to throw our way. 

  The whole duplicate thing is interesting, but the second half and the creepers is where the film really shined for me.

  I love how Steven Yeun’s derpy pompous character keeps popping up randomly throughout. It reminded me of De Niro in Brazil. This fun Bong Joon Ho stuff reminds me of Terry Gilliam.

  Alien³ 1992

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Apr 2018

  This film is fascinating for what it COULD have been. The end result is still worthy, but definitely flawed.

  The score is haunting and brilliant, lending as a perfect match to the setting.

  The polar opposite of Aliens.

  It's dreary and dark, the whole way through. A misunderstood film, although mostly goofed up in the last act.

  The fucking tunnel scene in the furnace is the most discombobulating…

  Now eventually you might have dinosaurs in your... dinosaur movie, right?

  Serious rough cut vibes.

  They should've stuck with J. A. Bayona.

  I tried to get my hopes as far down as possible and still was really disappointed by this. It may very possibly be worse than JP3.

  There were like 65 million routes the movie could've taken and they chose the most TV-esque, scope-lacking, cringe-inducing, weight-avoiding, unexpected, slog-like, non-audience-pleasing, Blue-sidelining, Dodgson-laden, Spielberg-crappin', basic-ass-bitch, sidetrack-plot-emphasizing, Henry-Wu-not-a-bad-guy-lovin', plotless, dickless, assless, turd…
