Mickey 17
Bong Joon-ho directs Robert Pattinson opposite his copy and Mark Ruffalo as a rich, egoistic, evangelical nutcase and a failed politician who reminds of someone real with Toni Collette as his saucy wife. Mickey is an expendable blue-collar workman on a colony spaceship who gets cloned anew anytime he dies a horrible death. There is a plot that happens, but we're mostly following the titular Mickey 17's journey through it with internal and even regular monologues. Pattinson is great, but it's not enough to make the movie very good in my opinion. The choice for ost is simply weird and I found it annoying multiple times. The satire is... I'd even call it anti-humor. 5/10

The most fantastical thing about the film isn't the creatures, human cloning, or the spaceship - it's that Mickey and the love of his life get together after meeting eyes accross the mess hall and going off to bang. Sure it's in a nonlinear flashback, but not much is given at any other point either.

SPiT - 10/10

Yes the title is written like that. The movie is a 20 year sequel to Australian film Gettin’ Square but focuses on that film’s side character Johnny Spit, played to dopey but kind-hearted perfection by David Wenham, slipping back into Johnny’s weathered thongs as if he never stopped wearing them.

I laughed, I cried a little and I smiled. It’s a great little film that nearly no one is going to see. But I saw it, and I loved it.

A ★★★½ review of Silent Hill (2006)

“They used to say this place was haunted. I think they were right.” This film first became a concept around 2001, when director Christophe Gans discussed the concept with producer Samuel Hadida while both were working on the film Brotherhood of the Wolf. Initially, Gans wanted to adapt Silent...
