A masterclass in filmmaking from Bong Joon-ho. After this rewatch, I think this is definitely his best work and one of the best mystery thrillers ever made. Gripping from the first frame to the last, with an atmosphere so eerie and immersive it never lets up. Gorgeous cinematography and a brilliant score. The ending delivers one of the best final shots you'll ever see. Song Kang-ho gives an all-time performance. Every aspect of this film is just perfect. Easily up there…

Heat 1995
A perfect masterpiece. I don’t think movies can get much better than this. Just an absolute masterclass in filmmaking from Michael Mann. The balance between deep emotional character moments and intense action is executed to perfection. Not many people can deliver a perfect action movie and also have such interesting and well-written characters. But Mann is one of a kind. Every second of this movie is handled with such care from him, that you just can't not fall in love…

Opus 2025
Not much to say that isn’t already being said. It’s a complete rip-off of movies like The Menu, Midsommar and Get Out. That being said, I love those types of movies, so even though it isn’t anything new, I at least enjoyed myself. And Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich are both awesome, so that helps for sure. At this point, I think we should just expect at least one of these types of movies a year.

Juror #2 2024
Perfectly fine courtroom drama. It does enough to keep you fully engaged the whole time, but doesn't do quite enough to make it a great movie. I loved the premise of this one so definitely thought it should've been better. Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette are great, but the rest of the cast didn't do much for me. The pacing drags at times, but for the most part I think it moves along pretty well. I think my biggest complaint…
