  • Command Z

    Command Z

    ★★★★

    Despite attempting this series multiple times but never moving beyond the first episode until now, I ended up really loving Command Z. It's the type of story where the subtext is more interesting than the main text, focusing on climate change and how engaging with small community changes can lead to bigger impacts than trying to tackle issues larger than us head-on. If you can look past the iPhone cinematography and stage play dialogue, Command Z has a lot of…

    The Invisible Man

    ★★★★

    People tend to hate reboots and remakes, but once in a while we get one that actually does what a reboot/remake is supposed to do: Take the original concept and view it through a modern lens. In this case, Leigh Whannell’s take on The Invisible Man asks if the technology to become invisible is achieved, what kind of person would exploit it and how? Building upon that, what can this exploration say about modern issues?

    Mickey 17

    ★★★★

    Mickey 17 is Bong Joon Ho's least interesting film, in my opinion, but the fact that I'm still giving it a 4/5 is proof not of how Bong doesn't miss, it's that he can't miss.

    Bong's films are never all that subtle, but Mickey 17 is his bluntest by a landslide. It's a "I'm going to say this one more time for the people in the back" kind of film that he probably felt necessary due to the decline of…

    ★★★★½

    In a timeline where Christopher Landon's Scream 7 is cancelled, Heart Eyes will do.

    And boy, does it do it well!

    Joker

    ½

    What if your school's elitist, white-male-ran filmmaking club got a multi-million dollar budget and a recognized intellectual property? You'd probably end up with something like Joker, a film that is aesthetically well-crafted, serviceably edited, surprisingly well-scored, and ultimately about nothing (and not even in the fun Seinfeld way).

    But let's go back in time a bit to The Dark Knight. Fantastic film with conflicting ideologies and philosophies, grounded action sequences, and a villain with a goal.

    Go forward a little…

    ★★★★★

    Am I biased because I worked on this film? Probably, but that doesn't change the fact that this was one of the best productions I've worked on and I genuinely loved watching the result.

    Black Mold is now streaming on Tubi!
