I.S.S. (2023)

A wasted opportunity

[5/10 · 22 January 2024]

The premise of the movie is great, but some poor decisions in the script ruined the movie for me. This could've been a very good, Hitchcockian suspense thriller. Instead, they give away too much too soon, and make every action too predictable. There is some suspense, but it does not pervade the entire film; it is only intermittent. The characters are not very complex at all, and the viewer isn't very vested in any of them by the time things turn sour. As for the ending, I'm not sure what they were going for there.

I was really expecting more from this movie, but left very disappointed. Not the worst I've seen this year, but it also could've been one of the best.

Nope (2022)

New take on the alien genre

[7/10 · 22 July 2022]

While the commentary which made Peele's prior 2 films so unique isn't nearly as strong or apparent in this, it is still a fresh take on the alien sci-fi genre of film.

House of Gucci (2021)

Great performances from all

[6/10 · 24 November 2021]

Great performances from all the lead cast, but Gaga and Leto stood out. The plot dragged a bit, but was worth the price of admission to see this great cast perform at their best.
