Movie review (Jan - Aug 2024)

The Killer (2023)

Drive but scored by The Smiths

I definitely think the character could have been a bit more developed and nuanced rather than a boring stone-cold killer out for vengeance but the philosophical narration does make an interesting character study on a calculating perfectionist with no empathy.

The Holdovers (2023)

Dead Poets Society x As Good as It Gets

Quite a sentimental Christmas movie that wasn't corny. I guess the comedy comes from how the teacher is disliked intensely by everyone but I was rather sympathetic to the teacher especially as the movie progressed and he helps a troubled student and shares his life experiences ("I got kicked out of Harvard for hitting him." "You hit him? What, like punched him out?" "No, I hit him with a car.").

The Boy and the Heron (2023)

Spirited Away but with Haku as the main character rather than Chihiro

The film deals with a sense of finality as Hayao Miyazaki takes a look through all aspects of his work and potentially links them with his childhood and how they influenced him, which is why this film evokes so much nostalgia for me (the boy meeting the wizard for the final time is like old Miyazaki talking to his younger self). The movie also has an amazing score by Joe Hisaishi ("Ask me why”).

Eternals (2021)

Terence Mallick x Puella Magi Madoka Magica

The plot is different from the original Jack Kirby version as well as the Neil Gaiman adaptation, and it has a unique style but what is confusing is that it tries to add its own lore. For a standalone concept it works but I am not sure about it's idea of world-building or the likelihood of a future franchise.

The Menu (2022)

Ratatouille x the Manson family

The dishes were very symbolic and the "And then there were none" framework worked well as a narrative device to open up concepts on the hype of food art, celebrity, and fine dining but it remains rather unbelievable why there is a cult based around a disillusioned head chef and how his plan for the night actually plays out without his diners rebelling.

The Watched (2024)

Slender man x The Descent

The main takeaway from this movie was that it was directed by M Night Shyamalan’s daughter. The plot twist kind of worked.

Longlegs (2024)

Cure (1997) x Annabelle

The plot revolves around a detective investigating a string of murder-suicides that seem like it was perpetrated by someone in the background making normal families kill each other. This is very similar to the 1997 Japanese movie Cure, which is more philosophical and nuanced, as opposed to random scenes of a deranged satanist Nicolas Cage in Longlegs.

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

Mad Max: Fury Road x Midnight Run

I think the best part of this movie is Emma Corrin as the bad guy. Ryan Reynolds Deadpool has become so reliant on meta-comedy and random references that he verges on being obnoxious so it was nice to see some fresh plot and characters.
