Kim's Convenience (2016) - Rated 13 Aug 2025
Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) - Rated 03 Aug 2025
"what if sad post-divorce ben affleck alcoholic redemption movie but also scott pilgrim with gremlins 2 level ridiculous cameos and jon daly drinking his weight in hand sanitiser? it's a thinly veiled satire of the PGA LIV split and purports to side with the former, but enjoyment is inversely proportional to how much it resembles/references the OG. lotsa good golf in-jokes like scheffler getting arrested again, brooks sat with bryson, the zalatoris caddy stuff. bet they cut a JT 'f****t' joke."

Giant Robo the Animation: The Day the Earth Stood Still (1992) - Rated 13 Jun 2025
"feels like an adaptation of a formative revisionist comic, taking a classically goofy, deliriously nonsensical superheroes and supervillains story and injecting it with sombre post-nuclear angst. you can find in it a throughline from feuillade, lang and godzilla all the way to the iron giant, watchmen and x-men. unfortunately, while the tension between pulp and art is thrillingly taut at first, plot starts to take over and with it so does the pulp, exposing that it was in fact better at the art."
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (2011) - Rated 29 May 2025
"i'd still like it if it were just the mature low fantasy drama its humble beginnings suggested, but i underestimated the scope, unhinged energy and sheer emotional force of this thing until i was already under its spell. it looks upon an entire history of female suffering, with a particular focus on the persecution of witches, and via relatably hopeless acts of individual self-sacrifice it offers forth an astonishingly ambitious alternative i found extremely therapeutic and mindset-altering."
Daan gyun naam yu (2011) - Rated 24 May 2025
"don't stop here, the sequel is the GREMLINS 2 of romantic comedies."
