Mickey 17 2025

Watched 16 Mar 2025

Tardigrade puppies were good, R-Pattz doing Mikey Miles for two hours was good, human printer paper jam was good, Uncle Baby Billy Trump-Musk and his wife Hillary was good. Serial killer Peter Thiel was good. I always enjoy director Bong's perspective on the west and he really let loose, as did the cast. This one has a Korean-style coup in it. That's plenty for me: it's good.
Another measure of its effectiveness: at dinner afterwards people kept accidentally mentioning sauce and groaning.
The Tale of Zatoichi 1962

Would have watched this way earlier if I'd known how little sword fighting was in it

Asako I & II 2018

★★★★ Watched 14 Jan 2023 1

This is a psychological thriller for dudes like Ryohei.
I can appreciate the immense journey that Asako travels, and maybe the weird English translation spells that out more, but I imagine many would see Maya as the more sympathetic, much braver character. The Guch (as noone is calling him) did it again with scenes of abrupt tension (acting critique), soaring tenderness (volunteer fishing village sing-along) and disbelief (spoiler).
I also apologise to my cat when I let him out the carrier.
Early Summer 1951

★★★★ Watched 28 Nov 2022

If you enjoy friendly people greeting each other enthusiastically, Ozu's /Hara's films may be for you. I've been needing some gentle cheering up lately and there's just nothing like it.
