Self Reliance is such a weird idea for such a light comedy. I spent the whole movie saying “yeah, this is amusing… but what? Why?” It’s like the chuckle-funny version of David Fincher’s The Game. Jake Johnson plays some average … Continue reading
I avoided Beyond Utopia last year because I was suspicious of the movie. It’s a documentary about escaping North Korea and I figured it’d be pretty one-sided, maybe even faked… so watching a 2 hour anti-Korean propaganda piece was concerning. … Continue reading
