    The Rule of Jenny Pen

    ★★★

    The concept seems ridiculous on paper but somehow it works pretty well, thanks to the two legendary actors. Unfortunately, it leaves a lot of plot points overly ambiguous to the point of frustration. It also doesn’t help that the overall subject matter, in all its vile and mean spirited glory, will deter a lot of casual viewers.

    Novocaine

    ★★

    I’m not sure how a movie with such a wild premise was such a slog to get through. The comedic elements felt pretty half assed. It also doesn’t help that this very ridiculous movie is also too self serious.

    ★½

    In the movie, a character has their eyes stabbed out. I would’ve paid an extra $10 at the ticket stand for someone to do the same thing to me so I wouldn’t have to watch this garbage.

    Godzilla Minus One

    ★★★★

    This might be the most well crafted Godzilla since the original. The commentary on postwar Japan and nuclear weapons, the depiction of Godzilla as a malevolent force of nature and not just a Kaiju, and the almost soap opera level melodrama. Minus One just screams classic Godzilla.
