  Primal Fear 1996

  ★★★½ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  Pros (in this order):
  - Edward Norton
  - Richard Gere
  - A 90s courtroom setting
  - Last frame

  Cons (no specific order):
  - The romance subplot was shallow and stupid, slowed down the overall pace 
  - There wasn’t enough screen time with Richard and Edward (would’ve loved to see the twist figured out when they were in the same room)
  - Twist came too early in the movie and wasn’t leveraged until too late

  Overall I liked it but not as much as I wanted to which is a lil bit of a bummah. Last 30 min were awesome tho

  Ridiculous but I did really love the pace and cadence of the slapstick humor - a wacky ride lol

  Presence 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Feb 2025

  Simple styling which I really felt intensified the character dynamics and overall plot development. Some actors weren’t good but it didn’t detract from the vibes - got chills a couple times and def gritted my teeth. I think this is soda’s first horror movie and for a first-time project he did a great job navigating a complicated concept without making it feel unserious or corny
