Mickey 17 2025
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
My New Year’s resolution is to be more Mickey 18 and less Mickey 17!
A scarily accurate representation of our social climate! Bong Joon-Ho’s satire depiction of mankind and how far the rich would go for sauce felt a little too real! It reminded me of when Sandra Bullock confessed her weird skin care routine to Ellen Degeneres!
This film didn’t connect with me as much as I thought it would but I thought Robert Patterson was exceptional, a brilliant…

The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2023
Mario and Luigi saving that dog from the falling building using their plumbers plunge was a bigger twist than Shawshank Redemption and then Mario and Luigi eating pasta with their American Italian family could have given Francis Ford Coppola a run for his money! Honestly… Cinema!

Marching Powder 2025
Nick Love’s brilliant one-liners and situational humor, combined with Danny Dyer’s perfect comedic timing and lovable charm, make this film very enjoyable. It pays homage to Nick’s earlier work but with a more mature and grounded head, all while taking the piss out of cheesy British romcoms. It’s a unique take I’ve not seen done before, and for that I applaud Nicks creativity!

The Last Showgirl 2024
The music was the only standout aspect, unfortunately. The idea of a dancer dedicating their life to performing, only to be left with nothing when they’re no longer young and beautiful was an interesting concept but I didn’t feel it was well executed. The dialogue was clunky, the emotional beats were nonexistent and the constant handheld close up shots made me wish I had bought a ticket at least five rows further back. Also, if anyone can explain what I was supposed to feel while Jamie Lee Curtis danced on that little platform for about 2 minutes too long, I’d love to know.
