Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

2025

★★★★ Liked Watched

I can fully understand people’s criticisms with this and its predecessor but when you get right down to it I am personally a massive fan of how this franchise veered into neofuturist cyber-cosmic existentialism about the Avatar of Man (Cruise) fighting against the emergent Digital Demiurge in a battle for the very nature of truth and being. My heart stopped at least four times watching this.

It Chapter Two

2019

★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Despite still finding this incredibly flawed, honestly generally still agreeing with the basic points of each of my criticisms from my first time watching this/my first review, watching this again six years out I'm not so sure why it struck me as so incompetent and offensive. I think the biggest thing that sticks out to me is that this series should've (obviously, in my opinion) been two, two and a half hour long films, the first devoted to the 80s…

A Snake of June

2002

★★★★★ Liked 4

self-awakening - june, the beginning of summer. steamy and wrapped in humidity. everything in this film is wet ~~~ the streets, the windows, the people, their skin ~~~ dangerously erotic, but not pornographic. very little nudity or explicit sexual acts. no, the sensory pleasure is seen entirely in their faces, those agape mouths and twisted expressions of pure joy (and humiliation, sweet humiliation) ~~~ seeing those faces they make and understanding what they need.

repeated throughout the film are shots…

Rhymes for Young Ghouls

2013

Violence against the oppressors is VERY cool and good.
