A โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… review of Bugonia (2025) I was a little surprised to hear Bugonia is a remake of a South Korean film (Save the Green Planet!), because it feels deeply American and of this time. A pair of cousins, played by Jesse Plemmons and...

My Bugonia review blew up to the tune of 800 likes and counting!

A โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… review of Possession (1981) Who amongst us wouldn't crash out if left by Isabelle Adjani? Possession is a deeply strange, esoteric horror film about the death of a marriage. The Possession in question is not just of the demonic ...

Possession (1981) is one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen but I couldn't turn away from it

I guess I'm not familiar with the different cuts. I'd only seen them once apiece previously but shorter would have been good

A โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… review of Death Proof (2007) Admittedly I didn't like Death Proof very much the first time I saw it but really enjoyed it on rewatch. It's an exhilarating, deeply horny celebration of stunt people and stunt drivers that doubles a...

Is Death Proof Tarantino's worst or his most underrated? I've been on both sides of this coin but loved it this time around

One thing I love about Thief (1981) is its Marxist subtext. Director Michael Mann, himself, deacribed the film as a "left-extensionalist critique of corporate capitalism"
