I'm a sucker for war movies but this was just unfortunate on a couple of levels. The level of cheese almost reaches Bollywood levels at times, and in a way that seems a little disrespectful to everyone involved in the actual event, no matter how much you might want to picture the lads as heroes.

Parasite 2019
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
The Parks did nothing wrong. Sure they're clueless as to the struggles of the poor, but the poor are also clueless about the struggles of the poor. You think the Kims would have given two shits about a tragedy happening 2 blocks down? I don't think so. They are shown to be ruthless people in a dog eat dog environment.
Mr. Park seems to work hard for his wealth. Does he work harder than mr. Kim used to work? Maybe…

The Green Knight 2021
Gawain is pretty much a fucking idiot, but i still enjoyed this film a lot despite that. It was suspenseful and he kept running into weird shit on the way to the chapel that seemed to confound our knight-to-be as much as the viewer.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 2005
This is like if some dungeon master dad just read the bible and goes ''how do i turn this shit into a DnD campaign for my 4 kids''

28 Weeks Later 2007
One of the most retarded and obnoxious movies i've set my poor eyes and ears upon. The plot and characters get worse every minute and the combination of loud noise/music and epilepsy inducing flashing lights and screens make for a horrendous viewing experience.

Getting LOST 2024
Some cool behind the scenes and it's nice to see some of the cast 20 years later, as many of them aren't exactly mainstream actors these days. Matthew Fox is the big notable absence.

Gladiator II 2024
It's quite a deja vu from the Napoleon theater experience, watching a very expensive looking farce. The story is quite ridiculous and the film never managed to pull me in. The characters are charicatures and sometimes unintentially funny. Even the action sometimes looks weird and over edited, with sections visibly missing and setpieces disappearing. Some of the action is still entertaining, which is the only reason this film isn't a total dumpster fire.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 1966
Cool end to a cool trilogy, largely more of the same but with a heavy dose of civil war. Not my favourite westerns, but undeniably iconic. This film could have probably done with some 40-50 minutes or so shaved off. Still trying to figure out why a man with dark brown hair gets called blondie.

Deadpool & Wolverine 2024
Excessively obscene, as you come to expect from Deadpool. It's a barrage of dirty jokes and brutal action, and while certainly not all of it lands, it had me cracking up a lot of times. The physical comedy involving brutal action sequences are often hilarious.

The Promised Land 2023
It's been a while since i've seen anyone get to the level of evil that the villain has in this film. There's something particularly sickening about a powerful prick that casually does the most heinous shit without having to fear any real consequences, kind of akin to animal abuse.
Anyway, mr. Mikkelsen plays our flawed but highly motivated protagonist in another Danish language film, and i've come to look forward to these since they've been very good so far. This one is pretty bleak, but the acting is solid and the landscapes are gorgeous.

Rio Bravo 1959
What a banger. This film really set the bar for westerns with its great and snappy dialogue, scenes within scenes, and the dynamic between the varied characters. John Wayne is quality as usual, there's no weak links in the rest of the cast, and the cherry on top is a sheriff office singing scene with Dean Martin.
