Felt more in line with Bong Joon-ho’s English language films than his Korean language films, so I didn’t dig it quite as much but still enjoyed overall and it has several of his trademarks. Felt a bit like 2 movies in one that didn’t totally fit, and the ending felt a bit too tidy for my liking. But Pattinson is great and I liked the wonderfully weird tone of it all.

But even so, we’re allegedly one year out from the next big Avengers movie and it still feels like the MCU is wandering aimlessly without the sense of building towards anything exciting.

Slingshot 2024
I saw this as an AMC surprise screening never having seen any trailers for or even having heard of this film. Based on no expectations I thought this was a decent enough thriller.
