    Sinners, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Lord of the Rings trilogy (saw it in theaters last year, it counts). I also really enjoyed Megalopolis but understand it's not a perfect film, kinda gonzo. If you like Cthulhu type stuff then Nic Cage starred in an adaptation of Lovecraft's "Colors out of space" that my wife and I both really enjoyed. A lot of people missed the 2008 adaptation of Speedracer done by the Wachowski sisters (same people who did the Matrix) which is a real shame…

    The Night Comes for Us is my second Timo Tjahjanto film after my beloved The Shadow Strays, and while as gory as expected, I found it harder to connect with the story and the MC in particular (also didn't get the title...). Also, Joe Taslim is Indonesian! That was a *revelation* for me! #MovieSky

    The Shadow Strays rules! Aurora Ribero gives such a fun and strong performance both physically and emotionally, very violent and gory that any fans of the genre will love. Absolutely chaotic and only ups the chaos as the film goes on, Timo Tjahjanto impresses once again.

    Aurora Ribero gets close, especially because I've watched her in The Shadow Strays and know she can do the deadpan (or close to it) and raging voices, but... tricky. Maybe because she speaks in Indonesian in the film, and "translating" voices can be hard. But then I do that easily with Iko Uwais +

    Still think it's a bit weird that, when asked, Netflix told me that they don't have screeners for THE SHADOW STRAYS. It's also a pain in the ass for me, as I'm reviewing the movie regardless, but still...do they really not think that there's greater interest in pre-release non-festival reviews?
