    Chungking Express

    ★★★★½

    This is a movie about three people in Hong Kong with unsatisfactory love lives, and how each deals with it in their own unique way.

    It’s pretty good, in an artsy way. There isn’t any one cohesive plot, but it does an excellent job presenting a compelling slice of life.

  • Airplane!

    Airplane!

    ★★★

    This is a movie about an outbreak on an airplane. The main character is a former fighter jet pilot who must contend with his trauma and land the plane safely. It is a comedy movie that aims to make fun of disaster movies, and there are jokes every minute.

    It’s funny, but a lot of the jokes were cringey or aged poorly. I think The Naked Gun (1991) and Top Secret (1984) are better spoof movies, and I’d recommend them before Airplane!

  • The Grand Budapest Hotel

    The Grand Budapest Hotel

    ★★★★★

    This is a movie about how a concierge and a bellhop travel Central Europe to secure their inheritance.

    It’s aesthetically beautiful, and it strikes the prefect balance between humor and thoughtfulness. This is my favorite movie at the moment!

  • The Departed

    The Departed

    ★★★★½

    This is a movie about cops and mobsters. But one of the mobsters is secretly a cop, and one of the cops is secretly a mobster.

    I loved the Boston setting, and the tie-ins to the city’s history of organized crime. In my opinion, I didn’t like the romantic sub-plot, but I loved the rest of it, and would not hesitate to recommend it.
