Scoring system: Number (e.g. 2, 3, etc.) at the beginning of a review means I've seen the film that many times.

Seoul Station (2016) - Rated 26 Apr 2025
"Not too bad. Steady pace, intriguing situations, suspense - very solid. Until the two forced "shocking" plot-twist finales, only there for the sake of shock value, which ruined the tone of the film. SPOILERS: it should have ended with the boyfriend and her "father" finding her and that's that. The "revelation" and the second "zombie" finale were pointless and unnecessary from a story-telling perspective. Ruined the suspension of disbelief."
Rome, Open City (1945) - Rated 12 Apr 2025
"What started as a disjointed, chaotic and somewhat light-hearted foray into rebellious Italy during the war in a classic neo-realist fashion, in the second half turned all too serious and macabre. The at first seemingly comedic character of the priest showed resilience, rigidity and true faith, in what is one of the most chilling scenes in cinema I've ever come across. Humility over brute force. Faith and hope over anger. The Cross, despised and rejected, always wins in the end."
Peninsula (2020) - Rated 29 Mar 2025
"Korean CGI Mad Max with excessive melodrama and unlikeable characters."
Train to Busan (2016) - Rated 27 Mar 2025
"An entertaining entry into the zombie genre by the Koreans. The story gives us enough of semi-unique material and set-pieces to seem fresh, with mostly a decent suspension of disbelief. Some stereotypical characters were taken from Hollywood (or perhaps we are so far gone into the globalist/Babylonian descent across cultures, that those characters are also relevant for the liberal consumerist Korean society too), but with good genre-conundrums (e.g. what to do when locked in the train toilet)."
Some Like It Hot (1959) - Rated 23 Mar 2025
"Unadulterated fun from start to finish, from a time when men dressing up as women was still peak humour, rather than a covert pedophilic and repulsive nonsensical politically- and socially-deconstructive activist propaganda with overt satanic undertones. But alas, I digress. "Some Like It Hot" is an absolutely laugh-out-loud classic. So many memorable scenes from what are very obviously inspired performances by Curtis, Lemmon and Monroe, all of whom evidently having a lot of fun on set."
Zvenigora (1928) - Rated 20 Mar 2025
"Not an easy watch from a 2025 perspective, not even for a Eastern European, who, I'd imagine, would be a somewhat better prepared viewer of Zvenigora than our Western brothers. The film is disjointed, fantastical and seems very chaotic. There is no steady pace, except for within some of the separate segments. There are, however, several phenomenal picturesque and poetic shots, that are quite memorable and impactful, such as the soldier offering his hand to the enemy army."
