3.1 Stars Perfect Days is a film that tries to make you feel how mundane and consistent a Tokyo janitor's day to day routines are. After you have been lulled into a pleasant boredom from seeing the focus character of the film trim his mustache, select a cassette tape to listen to on his commute, and scrub a toilet a couple times, the relatively minor surprises and anomalies to his structured days...
3 Stars Rogue City adds nothing new or good to the story and lore of Robocop. The narrative of the main questline is generic, and the less you think about it while playing the game, the better. What really dissapointed me was the lack of humor or any good comedic timing that endeared me to the first film. The main gameplay is combat, which mainly means you will be holding down the fire button, punching...
3.7 Stars A period piece with a very narrow narrative focus. It chronicles the fortunes and misfortunes of one man. Quick fortune and Misfortune come readily to Barry Lyndon, who's character quickly goes from a naive young man to a life long gambling opportunist. A narrator which is present throughout the film will remark that Barry has changed after some portion of his life, but Barry rarely shows...
Warning: Behemotic spoilers ahead!
The least one can say is that mass media loved Poor Things. Nearly every news article gushed over it while award ceremonies threw all their trophies at it, including...
2.9 Stars Killers of The Flower Moon is like many of Scorsese's previous long films, but every beat and rythem is more shallow and delayed. Robert De Niro's mastermind of a character is even labeled as a Jew for his actions by another character much like Casino. The first half of the film is painfully drawn out while the second half, which is far more interesting due characters having external conflict...
2.7 Stars 2 hour 30 minute investigative examination of a death by fall that pulls the viewer along the runtime with the possibility of foul play. Anatomy of a Fall has no style, save for a journalistic representation of events and facts. Every sequence is played out using the most dialog possibly, no brevity or variation to be found in any of the scenes. Its the type of film you could describe to...
3.2 Stars A Hong Kong made bootleg Street Fighter film that is completely detacted from any sort of source material. Future Cops goes its own way and in many different directions from the start. There are janky low budget animesque fights, slapstick humor in a highschool slice of life setting, and a music number. It takes liberties from not only Street Fighter, but Mario and Dragonball as well. Future...
3.3 Stars The Starship Troopers film is a pretty solid sci-fi action flick. The CGI has not aged the best and characters are a bit corny, but it pulls through with good casting and sudden impactful scenes. The film could have been far better if it mirrored the book closer. The lack of mechanized combat suits for the Mobile Infantry really disappointed me in the film version. Characters, especially...
3.4 Stars Pay to watch only if your seeing it in theaters. Like Dune Part 1, Part 2 is a solidly made film, thats only real flaws, in my opinion, are some bland casting choices, boring camera work in dialog sences, and maybe a few adaptation changes from the novel. I was surprised how much visual themes/effects This adaptation of Dune seemed to mirror of David Lynch's version.
Javier Bardem is the...
3.3 Stars A weird film. Buffalo '66 dips into surrealism at points, its bleak and made me uncomfortable. All the characters are desp*cable, depraved or pathetic. Every shot in Buffalo '66 is very focused and intentional. It is a film maker's sort of film. I did end up laughing once or twice, but the few moments of akward comedy are saturated by the strange plot and atmospheres. Not once did I feel...
Barry Keoghan is an Irish actor mostly known for his roles in the Marvel movie Eternals and the Netflix series Top Boy. More recently, he starred in Saltburn, a movie that can only be described as a bloody...
2.9 Stars A disjointed historical film that tries to cram too much emotion and impact into every scene and subplot. Just get two lead actors just weep in front of a camera and a mediocre script. Most of the technical aspects are par for a feature length production of this type, but there is an overuse of CGI cars and automotive accidents that really seem lazy for a film where the third main character...
3.1 Stars It's another film involving Elvis, specifically Elvis and his first wife precilla's relationship. It is boring as you might expect; a slow period piece with lots of quiet moments and fairly consistent decent acting. I don't get why people care enough about Elvis to keep making movies about him, but if you want something to put on in the background and or a film you can talk the whole way...
3.5 Stars I think I've seen bits and pieces of Deathwish over the years. Recently I sat down and watched the whole film through to experience it in it's totality. There are a couple of highlight moments that make Deathwish just stand out as cult classic as well as some surprisingly frank and based dialog written about crime statistics and politics. The critique I have for the film is mainly the...
3.5 Stars A slow cinematic film with frequent punctuations of aggression and violence. Sonatine has some very beautiful scenery, shots and sequences some of which are infused with the slightest hint of bleak humor. The soundtrack is unique and understated. I didn't really get a feel for the film till I was just under half way through the runtime, until then I was ready to abandon it. Don't expect...
The movie was supposed to be a horror, but there haven't been scary sequences, only a bit spooky at the end and mysterious throughout. It was annoying to see their portrayal of white American southerners as fat and stupid. The movie takes place in the 50s, so they subtly critique segregation here. The most annoying part is that the main character sleeping with a 17 year old black teenager and actually...
This is one of the best TV series I've ever seen. It was released right after 9/11 and features an anti-terrorism unit. This show has been called the most right wing one, the main character is willing to break rules in order to kill the bad guys, they also dared to feature torture even if many saw it controversial. The main character is also extremely skilled with weapon use and never fails to impress...

Honestly watching the first season of this in 2012 was great, the main character was a cool tough guy who used bow and arrow. After the first season they introduced a huge diversity cast, you mostly had women beating up men, they added many gay characters, I had to quit the series then and there as it became awful. This series is a perfect example of a good idea being destroyed by wokeism, the filming...
