Movie Recommendation - Parasite

Post by jkim »

Latest movie by Korean director Bong Joon-ho (Memories of Murder, Host, Snowpiercer) is making the rounds at movie theaters around the country. Not gonna set any box office records being a foreign language film with subtitles but it's a cool movie. I drove up to Orange County to see it but was released here in San Diego soon after.

The ol’ “black out the eyes” trick! Sci-fi?
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Highly recommenced, along with “Joker,” “The Irishman,” and “Ford Versus Ferrari.” “The Host” is a superb monster film, too—well worth finding!

Another good movie I just saw is 1917. It's war movie set in World War I and directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty). The technical premise is kinda gimmicky (movie is presented as one continuous take from beginning to end) but I didn't find that to be a distraction. There's even a dogfight scene, which ends up directly affecting the main characters in an unexpected way. Very enjoyable, especially compared to the last war movie I watched (Dunkirk).
