  Shin Ultraman 2022

  ★★★ Watched 26 Mar 2025

  Kind of sits between both Shin Godzilla and Shin Kamen Rider tonally. Gets a bit too slow in the middle but all the actual Ultraman parts are a blast.

  Final sequence feels like watching Bayonetta cutscenes (not derogatory)

  Shin Godzilla 2016

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Mar 2025

  Can see the Anno fingerprints all over this. Feels like Evangelion but with the mysticism stripped away. Very similar pacing and editing. Even uses the From Russia with Love song liberally.

  Had a really great time with this movie.

  The Host 2006

  ★★★★½ Watched 01 Mar 2025

  He really manages to do it all here. Consistently hilarious but extremely affecting. The final sequence is so tight for a movie that plays into genre so heavily. This worked really well.

  Is Bong Joon Ho the best director to debut in the 21st century?
