  Crimes of the Future 2022

  ★★★½ Watched by Sofa Sinema 22 Jun 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  "There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?" -The Graduate

  Viggo clears his fucking throat a lot. Typical Cannes festival hyperbole regarding the gross out factor. I was waiting for something far more visually disturbing. A bit tryhard maybe, especially for the festival crowd still high on Titane's body shaming freakshow. Cronenberg may have some new vices, but he's mainly relying on his old tricks. Less compelling than his rawer, less performative and more…

  Living To Die 1990

  ★★★½ Watched by Sofa Sinema 20 Jun 2022

Olivia Williams and Mireille Enos turn in exciting gender-defying performances as the hard-boiled women trapped in this nightmare of throbbing, reckless machismo.

  Aquaman 2018

  ★½ Watched by Sofa Sinema 08 Dec 2018 6

  Hollywood really seems to want to fuck fish lately. Aren't we even getting a rehash of The Little Mermaid soon?

  The saddest truth is that Aquaman is no longer just an Entourage gag. It's now an actual joke that imagines James Cameron's Avatar as it might've been cloned by George Lucas during his prequel phase. The filmmakers seem to reference Lucas's empire multiple times, especially with all the political mumbo jumbo and silly underwater creatures. Hell, we even get Django…
