6/10 One thing I love about director Bong Joon Ho is that his films never repeat themselves. He will go from a murder mystery to a monster movie to an adaptation of a futuristic graphic novel.

This film, being its follow up came in at #10 for my Top 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2018. Although it is not as good as “Green Room”, there is still a lot … Continue reading #2 Netflix Film in 2019: Hold the Dark

8/10 Originally conceived as a limited series TV show, the Coen Brothers decided to rework this to make it a film which Netflix ended up picking up. Broken up into six stories (each story will get its own hashtag since I always do six anyways), some are better than others but overall this is a … Continue reading #1 Netflix Film in 2019: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
