  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Bong Joon Ho has established himself as one of the greatest living directors. In his films he addresses class, imperialism, colonialism, culture, and animal liberation. Mickey 17 takes on every one of these themes, making it feel overpacked. He has such a distinct and playful directorial voice and vision. Alongside this and Robert Pattinson’s super silly performance, I totally did not care about how thematically stuffed this was. I had a great time. The jung jaeil score may be my favorite part.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  What I loved most about this movie is the lack of dawdling around. Exploring these intimate narratives and character dynamics in a tight 90 is refreshing. Kieran Culkin was really fantastic.

  Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 04 Jun 2023

  I could watch both Spider-Verse films without any sound and still have a wonderful time. I think I will need to rewatch because a lot of the time watching I was really entranced by the new styles of animation that were brought into the sequel. I know there were so many fan-service connections and silly jokes made in reference to the whole MCU capitalist empire, and I’m not a huge fan of it, but I’m not gonna be a pretentious…

  Drive 2011

  ★★★★½ Watched 22 Aug 2022 1

  It’s such a shame that incel culture has connected itself so closely with a great film and a really dope jacket. 

  I’ve been goofing on this film for a long time for it’s pretentious and misogynistic fan base, buuuut I get it. Ryan Gosling, Bryan Cranston, Carey Mulligan. I get it.

  All I want to do is drive now 😈
