  Terrified is on my (very long) watchlist so I now must also add When Evil Lurks.

  Ne Zha 2 (2025)
  The highest grossing movie you’ve never heard of. This was put on my radar from the other site and despite my reservations of seeing a foreign film in theatres (I know, it’s my NA upbringing), this is what a cinematic experience is. It is beautifully animated and it hits every emotion without it feeling forced (the woman next to me cried twice). A few scenes had odd pacing and some jokes were clearly lost in translation, but I am now waiting for the IMAX (re)release.

  Patton (1970)
  The most feared general of Nazi Germany from the US, or so the movie claims. We now know this to be false but historical inaccuracies aside, this film holds up to the test of time and explores the man behind the impetuous but talented general in a rose-tinted biopic.

  Flow (2024)
  A cute story of society and survival featuring not just the internet’s favourite, a cat, but also includes a social media craze, the capybara. With Ne Zha 2 fresh on my mind, it might be unfair to compare its quality of animation as it only had a fifth of its budget, but I felt as if I was watching animation from the 2000s at times. I do applaud the director’s choice in making it free of dialogue and keeping anthropomorphisizing to a minimum.

  Sri Asih (2022)
  The second movie in Indonesia’s home-grown attempt at the MCU - DCEU as it’s essentially Wonder Woman? - is exactly as predictable and formulaic as you come to expect. Better than Wonder Woman 1984 at least.
