  Cool movie, cool premise. Great acting and production. Not deeply serious / intricate sci-fi, but still very entertaining

  Kagemusha 1980

  ★★★½ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Enthralling, but in the end a bit unfocused / directionless. And too long for my taste - was dozing off in the last 30 minutes. Still a worthwhile experience to sit through. Something magic is in there

  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Nov 2024

  Visually gorgeous, humanistically / spiritually tender political thriller. Superb use of sound. Ralph Fiennes knocks it out of the park

  addendum: most captivating use of vapes in film

  Megalopolis 2024

  ★ Watched 08 Oct 2024

  time capsule for our times. boomerism without guardrails incarnate. turns out, the actual "degenerate decadent fool of an empire/emperor overstaying his welcome" was coppola himself

  on sincere note: may be the best "bad movie" i have ever seen, will merrily rewatch with friends for fun
