Friday: Bring Her Back (2025): 8/10 Today: Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye (2025): 8/10

This weekend. Friday: Sex (2024) aka part two of the Oslo trilogy: 8/10; Yesterday: How to Train Your Dragon (2025): 7/10 Today: The Materialists (2025): 9/10

Juneteenth: Elio (2025), 3D: 9/10. I hope this one has similar box office legs like Elemental (2023). It certainly doesn't deserve to bomb at the box office. Friday: KPop Demon Hunters (2025)—seen at the Quad as it's already streaming on Netflix. 8/10. What keeps it from being a 9 or 10/10 is that it speedruns through many plot beats as if it should have been a 12-episode miniseries instead of a feature-length film. Today: 28 Years Later (2025), 8/10. The zombie kills with its high-tech iPhone cinematography, which looks like a visual gimmick from a PS2 console.
