Watched Civil War (2024) by an author from letterboxd.com
In the near future, a group of war journalists attempt to survive while reporting the truth as the United States stands on the brink of civil war.

You thought you were watching… and that was your first mistake. If this was intended to be “political” it would have some “politics” in it.

It doesn’t even play like a war film. It’s more like a post-apocalyptic road trip where the protagonists’ only protection is the word “Press”. What makes this frightening is that, on many occasions, that seems grossly inadequate.

Watched Smile (2022) by an author from letterboxd.com

This is the first thing I have seen in a long time that actually put me on edge. Another amazing female lead performance in a horror film.

Watched Sisu (2022) by an author from letterboxd.com
When an ex-soldier who discovers gold in the Lapland wilderness tries to take the loot into the city, German soldiers led by a brutal SS officer battle him.

One of the dumbest films I have ever seen. It does look pretty in places, though.
