  Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky 1991

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Is this the best live action manga adaptation? Maybe. At least the best I have seen.

  Riki-Oh is so violent and so campy almost like a cartoon but doesn't feel awful. The presentation, the pacing and effects make this film a fun splatterfest with a little heart. With how over the top this film is, you would expect cohesion to be lost and it isn't.

  Full of fun characters, great costuming and creative choreography, Ricki-Oh is an action film personified. Not for everyone, I can guarantee that, but if you give this one a chance you will not be disappointed.

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Bong can honestly do no wrong and I throughly enjoyed the setting and satire. Robert Pattinson is on another level and Ruffalo is doing some crazy acting choices that just work. Score is meh. Cinematography is wonderful land the effects are elite.

  However, I seem to connect too noir Bong then monster movie Bong. Was not fully my thing and I think my expectations brought this score down a bit. On a second watch, which I will do, knowing what…

  Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2004

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 14 Mar 2025

  Even on a sixth time watching this film I feel something different and pick up on new things. Now as a married person the themes of this film hit harder than ever. Just a film that can mean so many things to different people in different parts of their lives. A monumental achievement in film. There truly aren't notes. This is perfection.

  A Bay of Blood 1971

  ★★★½ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  A Bay of Blood is definitely something. As with most of this era of horror films, I was never outright scared or horrified but thats a me thing. However, this films kills are insane and the make up and prop work is on another level. Arguably the godfather of the slasher film, A Bay of Blood is a brutal murder fest with an uninteresting recycled plot. No character stands out in anyway but the environment they are in is great…

  Hot Mother 2020

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Oct 2022

  Watched 2022

  Hot Mother was wild. In a very quick 15 minutes you are blessed with excellent cinematography, amazing performances and great pacing. You care about these people really quick and the ending just hits. Easily one of the most surprising short films I have ever seen. If I had an issue, the title does not fit the film and sounds kind of silly. Could stop people from checking this out, but please please do.

  Millennium Actress 2001

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Mar 2024 2

  March Around the World 2024

  Millennium Actress is another example of Satoshi Kon's genius.

  The pacing of this film should not work at all. The idea of a story being told through memory that is disjointed with works of cinema and reality is a tough task to portray. Yet Kon pulls it off with ease and engagement. The story of Chiyoko is heartfelt and inspiring, while at the same time you could feel her being silly and stubborn. She is…
