  Honestly, the only reason I watched this is it was directed by Bong Joon-Ho. The premise or trailers did not do hardly anything for me, and also because I am not a big fan of sci-fi films, I did not think I would enjoy it.

  Actually, I did enjoy it. Definitely a lot more than I thought I would. Of course, largely because of Joon-Ho. The man is simply one of the best filmmakers today and he sure knows how…

  The rate at which Steven Soderbergh puts out original, well-crafted films should be studied.

  Wicked 2024

  Watched 11 Aug 2024

  Didn’t watch, obviously, but just saw it on stage in London’s West End and had to write about it.

  This show absolutely blew me away. It subverts your expectations, draws you in, and brilliantly executes a timeless story from a different perspective. As a big fan of The Wizard of Oz, it incorporates the film in an amazing way.

  I absolutely cannot wait for the film adaptation.

  The Exorcist III 1990

  Spooky Season Watch #5

  Wow, what a fascinating picture. George C. Scott is incredible here as is a scene-stealing Brad Dourif.

  It feels like Blatty got so much freedom yet you hear so much about the studio interference. This absolutely feels like an independent film with imagery and scenes one would not expect to see in a franchise film.
