Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

Entertaining on a mainstream level. Very little development character or story wise. Pretty by the numbers.

Drift (2023)

Glad I dragged myself to attend the screening that came with a  Q&A. Apart from bumping into friends and colleagues, the insight during the Q&A added further appreciation for the film's production process. Nice, quiet drama that touched on topics such as human connections and dignity.

Anatomy of a Fall (2023)

Not bad. Very talkie film. I fell asleep around the part where the female lead was talking to her lawyer in the kitchen, IIRC, and woke up somewhere when the case was in the courtroom.

All of Us Strangers (2023)

At the end of it, I was thinking I might wanna watch again just to see how the dots join up.

Poor Things (2023)

The dialogue, "I must go punch that baby" really tickled me.  There's lots of sex, or "furious jumping" in this one. Loved it mostly. Emma Stone's performance is one of the key anchors of the film, IMHO. I do wonder if things were wrapped up a bit too nicely in the end, but this an interesting watch for those who are open to unconventional visual and audio storytelling.
