    The Dark Knight

    ★★★★★

    Opening scene is unparalleled. Pure chaos. Pure evil. The henchmen all killing each other. The grand reveal of the joker under the joker mask as he puts the grenade in the rebellious bank managers mouth and his jacket thread unravels. Then drives the bus off into the procession of other school buses. Our joker is full of tricks as we will see. 

    Full disclosure I already know that I LOVE this movie. My review may be biased. It’s probably my…

    Let go of your malice 

    Mahito is a lost little boy trying to make sense of the grief of losing his mother. Sometimes letting go is all there is we can do.

    Stunningly animated, worth every second of the 7 years it took to create. The soundtrack really soars. I did struggle at times to follow the story as it was quite abstract and fantastical but I did really enjoy this film. 

    Himi’s choice to return to her timeline knowing her fate was beautiful. 

    Someone wrote that Miyazaki hates birds and that the king was “Parakeet Hitler” and I’m deceased bro

    ★★★½

    There is no forgiveness…. Only forgetting. 

    Damn this hits hard. Male abuse, the cycles repeating themselves, and the various forms in which women approach their trauma and respond to it. 

    Channing Tatum is great. As is Naomi Ackie. Bravo Zoe Kravitz what a debut in the directors chair.

    ★★★

    Amazingly dumb teen sex comedy. I loved it irrespective of how incredibly politically incorrect it is and how poorly it will stand the test of time. 

    The kid hitting the Sieg Heil in the background of Mieka’s living room is insane. 

    Matt Damon and Kristin Kreuk making out will live on in my dreams/nightmares.

    Bong Joon Ho has done it again. The man hates capitalism. He hates colonialism even more here in Mickey 17. 

    And you know what. Me too bro. 

    Robert Pattinson kills it. His accent is great, the comedic timing of his and the rest of the casts’ work is impeccable. I had a blast. 

    The criticism of Trump and his sycophant cronies is so on the nose. There is just so much about this that is clean and concise but then…
