  Mosul 2019

  ★ Watched 26 Jun 2021

  Hey, let's take out the music from an action flick and use ambience instead, then the audience can enjoy the stale dialogue and characters with no personality more!

  Get the Hell Out 2020

  ★★ Watched 22 Sep 2020

  A very meme-y piece of work by amateur director Wang I-Fan. From literal memes shown on screen, to cheesy pop references, to cameos of actual popular Taiwanese YouTubers, you name it, it is in this movie.

  The flip side of this is that it felt closer to a well-polished YouTube video than an actual film in theatre. I wish the story had delved more into the politics of Taiwan, than the simple metaphor of "politicians = zombies".

  Godzilla vs. Kong 2021

  ★★½ Watched 30 Mar 2021

  Any scene involving humans made this film increasingly worse, I'd take more fights all day. Anyway props to them for having actual recognizable buildings from Hong Kong, instead of just sampling a generic cyberpunk metropolis.
