This is the highlight of my short-lived Nippon life. To be in a tiny, Ghibli-adorned, cinema in Mitaka watching this was magical. The audio track is a single man making all the noises with his mouth. While its whimsy is warming, Miyazaki never forgets about the horror of the minute. No spoilers, but easily the scariest wasp I have ever seen was in this film. Yes, Matthew Arnold, this literally has both sweetness and light,

The Brutalist 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Solid enough. I don’t know what other words to put to it. Feeding the thoughts that László is a great name for an artist. Krasznahorkai is another example. The epilogue was incredibly heavy-handed. Choose one measure of film, please. Oscar bait-y? Maybe, but it moves beyond that in my opinion. A very obvious AI drawing at the end sticks out like a sore thumb (an auditorium thing, coloured blue and orange) which is simultaneously saddening and maddening.

Gladiator II 2024
2.5 good performances here and one of them isn’t Pedro.
For reasons external to the actual movie, this is probably my greatest moviegoing experience.
