    Memories of Murder

    ★★★½

    I like how realistic and rough around the edges it was. There is polish in the way its shot, but the subject matter was very brutal. Not a film for the faint of heart.

  • Babygirl

    Babygirl

    ★★★½

    How do we explore the themes of desire and satisfaction, born out of a yearning for a specific power dynamic?

    That seems like the concept that the film is trying to explore. It goes about it in particular ways and I am actually quite happy with it.

    Yes there were scenes and settings that made me uncomfortable. That says more about me than it says about the film itself. At many moments, I found myself questioning my own ideas, beliefs…

    The Wild Robot

    ★★★★

    A wonderfully written, directed, scored, animated and voice acted film.

    It had moments of levity, beauty, wonder and social commentary.

    It also made me cry, a lot.

    Reminded me of WALL-E.

    Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar

    ★★

    The epic conclusion to Metalocalypse.

    It's nice to have a conclusion and say goodbye to these characters. There's a lot of growth and realization that the characters have arrived at.

    I still think that the show and "The Doomstar Requiem" had better writing and music than this.

    I am still glad that Small was able to finish this story the way he saw fit.
