    I Care a Lot

    Rating: 1 out of 5.

    Hate to sound as if I’m saying that specific topics shouldn’t be joked about because everything should be joked about, but considering how many people just learned the level of control a conservatorship legally holds over their ward from Framing Brittney Spears last week, this is poor timing at best.

    Parasite (2019)

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

    A Modern Survival Story Disguised as a Thriller

    This film was extraordinarily wild, and I enjoyed everything they did with it.

    Parasite took me down the longest road of twists and turns I’ve been on this year. Just when you think something’s about to let up — when you finally feel like you’ve figured out exactly what’s going to happen next — the movie slaps you across the face… only to get you ready for the giant punch that’s coming.

    This film is a masterclass in character transformation, showing the strength and weaknesses of the human mind when pushed to its limits. Shot Caller isn’t just about crime—it’s about sacrifice, survival, and the choices we make for those we love.
