I have to stop feeling guilty.
It’s okay for me to be happy.
The Return of the King. Bong Joon-ho’s much anticipated follow-up to Parasite is an ingenious, zany, satirical romp of a film that is surely best enjoyed in theaters.
First off, Robert Pattinson is fantastic. It’s more than just his voice-work. He has a physicality in his performance that is hard to emulate. The mannerisms and body language he displays perfectly compliment the characters and emotions he is trying to portray.…
