  Eastern Condors 1987

  ★★★½ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  Spunky and fun.

  The hand to hand combat is easily the best part of the movie, as it is with most Sammo Hung movies, and despite its oftentimes questionable politics, the final refrain of “Fuck America” is what rings the most true through this action romp.

  The Regime 2024

  ★★½ Watched 03 Mar 2024

  I mean… I almost wish that this went in a more serious direction with the concept. It’s just not funny enough. Like the thing about succession that made it work was that it had a solid emotional foundation and the comedy came out of it. Veep is GOATED bc it’s just so fucking funny. Kinda proof that Armando Ianucci and Jesse Armstrong truly were the only possessors of the sauce all along.

  At the very least, it has very high production values and Stephen Frears’s direction of the pilot is very visually engaging.

  Why the hell do they all have Dell Laptops?

  Decision to Leave 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 04 Oct 2022

  This is gonna need a rewatch, but this film does things narratively and visually that I’ve never seen done in a movie before. Park talked about wanting to make a movie that both acts as a romance and a crime film at the same time. This is an impossible task, but Director Park has such a command of film craft that he’s able to balance both so delicately within the same scene (within the same shot!!!) that you are left…
