    Don't Look Up

    ★★★★½

    With an extinction level event staring right at the people of earth, things go awry in the most heart-breaking manner for the people who really care.

    Unlike its much elder sibling, Idiocracy (2006) where lead wakes up to find that the new world is full of idiots, Don't Look Up focuses on how today's world is hell bent on tapping the adversity that exists.

The exploration here is mostly about folk-horror so the time period has a wide range of five centuries. While initially I thought the film had said what it…

    The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared

    ★★★½

    A life affirming dark comedy about the titular situation and him meeting an elephant somewhere down the line.

    This is one of those absurdist films where talking about it is more interesting and hilarious than actually watching it. Essentially a road film filled with innate complications and simple solutions, it really is a weird time for old Allan. After losing his only companion, he makes a run for freedom from the shackles of a retirement home. Not that there is…
