  The Empire Strikes Back 1980

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 Jun 2022

  Great set designs and visual effects, intense action scenes and a truly unique style, beautiful performances and a captivating story, not to mention the iconic (albeit derivative) scores, make this film perhaps the best part of a great trilogy that started a long-lasting cultural phenomenon.

  Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) 2020

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 Feb 2020

  It’s imperfect but it made me extremely happy. The film exceeded my expectations and delivered a bold and fun ride full of glitter and fireworks. Just like Harley, Birds of Prey is a fascinating puzzle box that is both raw and violent as well as cute and fluffy. It’s visually stunning and it’s clear that Cathy Yan already has an uncompromising style. The film is fast-paced but spends sufficient time to make Harley a great character. It’s also filled with emotional moments that help bring out the humanity of each “bird”.

  - Especially Huntress, Huntress is a perfect angel.

  The Handmaiden 2016

  It’s a beautifully made dark fantasy that is very entertaining and pleasing to the eyes. But more importantly, it is really moving with its lovely main characters (Sook-Hee is so cute and brave and pure), and with the liberating love story of two women who joined forces to free themselves from their fetters.
