  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Bong Joon Ho has never been one to play it safe. Whether it's a class war on a never-ending train (Snowpiercer), the tragic friendship between a girl and a genetically modified superpig (Okja), or the razor-sharp satire of capitalism in Parasite, he constantly reinvents himself while staying true to his core themes. Mickey 17 is no exception—his biggest, boldest, and most deliriously unhinged English-language film yet.

  Scorpio Nights 1985

  ★★★½ Watched 28 Jun 2020

  Obviously, this film gives me some weird arousal to the point na napagod nalang din talaga ako. But aside from its sex scenes, which have been the biggest part of the totality of the film— hindi ko talaga makalimutan yung scene nung mga nagbabasketball tapos natamaan yung isa sa mukha at duguan, at sabi niya "hindi, okay lang" na parang wala lang.
