    This film was phenomenal. It was a satire on how the governemt doesn't take real problems seriously. some scientists discover that there is a comet heading for earth thats large enough to cause the end of the world. All the rich are more concerned with making money than saving their planet. Even though this movie is a few years old I think it's still very relevant today in showcasing how ignorant and self-centered the American government can be. I loved every minute of this, highly reccomend.

    ★★★☆☆

    In this "who dun it" Little Red Riding Hood is a detective that has visions of the crime in question. It's a Japanese take on a Grimm fairytale mixed with a murder mystery. The movie is in Japanese so you will have to watch with subtitles if you don't know Japanese. It has some funny moments. The ending is kinda sad and very reminicent of the original Grimm Fairytales that don't necessarily have the happiest endings. I had it playing in the background while I was working on a crochet project so it did not get my full attention but it does make for some interesting background noise.

    ★★★★☆

    This movie was psychologically fascinating. I was not sure what to expect at first but as it kept unfolding the pieces started coming together. The main character is very skeptical about his life and starts questioning everything. He breaks out of his usual routine and starts to discover the real truth about his existence.

    ★★★★☆

    I really loved the suspense, the thrill of the chase. The main character is very smart as he tried to find ways to outsmart the criminal. I won't spoil the surprise but if you like excitement then definately give this a watch.
