    Juror #2

    ★★★½

    "Sometimes, the truth isn't justice."

    The definition of a good movie and nothing more. It's beyond impressive and admirable that Clint Eastwood is still able to direct something like this at 93 years old. This is likely his final film, and while it isn't anything memorable or extraordinary, Juror #2 succeeds as an engaging courtroom drama. Eastwood presents a twisted tale of moral dilemmas, and an examination of the many contradictions and flaws within the American justice system. And he…

    A Very Sonic Christmas

    ★½

    What in the ChatGPT is this dialogue? Such a pointless, low-effort, cringe short that only makes me realize how annoying and childish the Sonic films are. I'll still be watching Sonic 3 though.

  • Retribution

    Retribution

    ★★★★½

    "I died... so everyone else should die too."

    Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Retribution is, as the title implies, a tale of retribution. He brilliantly depicts a grim world where angry, vengeful spirits torment their killers from the other side using ghostly apparitions, which is a clever metaphor for the unbearable guilt that consumes the murderers.

    Pulse

    ★★★★½

    The loneliness is suffocating. Digital phantoms imprisoned in the darkest corners of the internet are passing through to the land of the living. Shadow beings fade out of existence due to their unbearable loneliness. Contact with these spectres results in death, but they aren't evil. The ghosts are severely lonely, roaming our reality in search of human connection to put an end to their agonizing pain and despair, which makes them very similar to us, the living.
     
    Kiyoshi Kurosawa's craft is unprecedented, the retro-technological aesthetic of Pulse is intoxicating, and I felt myself gradually sinking into my seat the longer I was exposed to the film's loneliness. I'm still a bit torn on the final 1 5 minutes, but I've come to accept and appreciate them as part of Kurosawa's brilliant vision. Not only is Pulse a masterpiece and one of the loneliest and scariest films ever made, I'd also argue that it is the greatest horror film of the 21st century.
