  Seven Samurai 1954

  ★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025 1

  May the spirits of cinephiles haunt me, but I sadly couldn't get into this.

  It would be foolish of me to even try to dissect Seven Samurai on a technical level, as everything that can been said about this revolutionary film has already been said. I can appreciate Kurosawa's magnum opus, and I'm thankful for it. I mean, without Kambei's constant head-rubbing, would Jon Bernthal be where he is today?

  I'm glad there weren't 14 of them; otherwise, this would go on for like seven hours.

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025

  Mickey 17 is the latest installment in Bong Joon-Ho’s anti-capitalist series. This time in space.

  Thematically it’s closest to Snowpiercer, and tonally to Okja. Of course, Mickey 17 is its own thing and there’s no need to compare it to other films. I’ll just say that following up Parasite was no easy task, but it’s the task the director passed quite well. This film is incredibly funny, witty and crazy. Mark Ruffalo once again proves he excels in unhinged villain…
