    Pizza Movie 3/5 - Between this and The Napa Boys it seems like the writers thst influence other writers are interested in exploring how you can do the raunchy teen sex comedy without being exclusively gross to women. I’m not entirely sure that this vein is worth mining but like most raunchy teen comedies, it’s fun enough to watch stoned with your buddies

    Exit 8 3.5/5 - Liminal Horror is in baby! I think Backrooms is trying to be the tentpole movie for the subgenre but until it comes out this is a pretty fun version. I think this is the only video game movie where I beat the game quicker than I watched the movie

    Mortal Kombat (1995) 3/5 - Honestly for being a 90s video game movie it’s not bad. It mostly sticks to the “plot” of Mortal Kombat which barely has one anyway. The CGI is bad but Paul W. S. Anderson can at least pull off edgy cool pretty well

    The Drama 4.5/5 - This is nightmare fuel if you’re mid wedding planning. I think there’s a lot of interesting discussions happening in this movie, I like the acting, and it is sufficiently tense

    Rat Race 3.5/5 - It’s basically a bunch of really complicated set ups to huge visual gags. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s funny. Also Rowan Atkinson should avoid speaking roles

    Mars Express 4.5/5 - Wow! Watching this feels like watching a classic Sci-fi movie despite it being less than 3 years old. So many cool ideas that aren’t just handed to you. They use visual and environmental story telling to just cram in a crazy dense story in 90 minutes. This is a masterful intersection of art and technique. A high recommendation to fans of classic sci-fi like Blade Runner, Nueromancer, Ghost in the Shell, and Akira
