    ★★★★

    Not much here of intrinsic value. But like the name suggests, Vibes is all about the vibe. It's the ultimate "casually watch with friends" movie that my own friends have adopted for occasional late nights. Jeff Goldblum playing Jeff Goldblum, Cyndi Lauper being Cyndi Lauper, Columbo playing Peter Falk playing a grifter, and the rest of the shenanigans happening around them.

    "Shut up and take my money!"

    Not sure what I can say but go watch it. Especially if you like movies like Spiderverse and The Last Wish, which I'd strongly argue were influenced…

    This movie (three movies, actually) is one I recommend to all of my friends. My best friend and I discovered it basically at the same time, I shared it with a girl who I am now dating, she shared it with her sister. It's a gorgeous, disgusting gift that keeps on giving.

    I'm pretty convinced Magnetic Rose takes place in the same universe as Blade Runner. The decaying concert hall/industrial cyberpunk aesthetic is beautiful, and the slow slip of reality…
