The koreans really know how to make a movie. This was emotional and mind-bending. At first it felt cringey like "why are you being so stupid" but the longer we watched the more the plot opened up and started to make more sense. It was like a mix of time travel and video game logic. The graphics were phenomenal and even ten minutes in we were questioning what was going to happen next. The ending was so beautiful and heroic i would watch this again and again.

I was so moved by the depth of this hopeful drama about contact with life outside our home planet earth. Based on the 1985 Novel by Carl Sagan; Contact touches on concepts such as spirituality, faith, and phenomenology. I find myself questioning if our communication with beings other than humans is closer than we think. Personal experience is a gateway to understanding the deeper meaning of life.

This movie had me laughing, crying, and cringing. Its a wild ride and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. It scratched an itch in my brain that i didnt even know I had, and not because of the furries haha

This film was phenomenal. It was a satire on how the governemt doesn't take real problems seriously. some scientists discover that there is a comet heading for earth thats large enough to cause the end of the world. All the rich are more concerned with making money than saving their planet. Even though this movie is a few years old I think it's still very relevant today in showcasing how ignorant and self-centered the American government can be. I loved every minute of this, highly reccomend.

★★★☆☆

In this "who dun it" Little Red Riding Hood is a detective that has visions of the crime in question. It's a Japanese take on a Grimm fairytale mixed with a murder mystery. The movie is in Japanese so you will have to watch with subtitles if you don't know Japanese. It has some funny moments. The ending is kinda sad and very reminicent of the original Grimm Fairytales that don't necessarily have the happiest endings. I had it playing in the background while I was working on a crochet project so it did not get my full attention but it does make for some interesting background noise.

★★★★☆

This movie was psychologically fascinating. I was not sure what to expect at first but as it kept unfolding the pieces started coming together. The main character is very skeptical about his life and starts questioning everything. He breaks out of his usual routine and starts to discover the real truth about his existence.

★★★★☆

I really loved the suspense, the thrill of the chase. The main character is very smart as he tried to find ways to outsmart the criminal. I won't spoil the surprise but if you like excitement then definately give this a watch.
