    Mickey 17

    ★★★½

    Some will find it baffling, some will find it too on the nose, and some might see it as just plain silly; but if you’re a Bong Joon Ho fan and embrace his genre-shifting style, one thing is certain: he delivers his message loud and clear. A visionary filmmaker who knows exactly what he’s doing, Bong blends dark satire, sci-fi spectacle, and over-the-top grotesque comedy into something uniquely his own. He creates a world where individuals at the bottom of the social hierarchy are not only expendable but indefinitely replicable, reduced to nothing more than digits in the machinery of production.

  • Bram Stoker's Dracula

    Bram Stoker's Dracula

    ★★★

    Rewatching Bram Stoker’s Dracula (after many years) didn’t change my feelings about it. The visuals and atmosphere are still impressive, but the same problems stand out: uneven acting, slow pacing, and overly dramatic scenes. Time hasn’t made it better or worse; it’s still just a good-looking movie, not a great one.

    Nosferatu

    ★★★★½

    After watching Eggers’ Nosferatu (2024), I revisited Murnau’s Nosferatu (1922) after many years to see how it holds up today. This rewatch reminded me that some films simply don’t age. Nosferatu is pure nightmare fuel—silent, shadowy, and utterly hypnotic. Unlike many other horror films that shout their terror, Nosferatu whispers it, making each moment even more chilling. A horror classic that still haunts nearly a century later. Next up: revisiting Herzog’s Nosferatu after 15 years.

  • Conclave

    Conclave

    ★★

    What begins as a gripping exploration of faith and power turns into a shallow and disappointing movie, ruined by “forced” twists and a weak ending.
