MEMORIES OF MURDER Review
There are filmmakers you discover and filmmakers who discover you, who find you at exactly the moment you needed to be found and rearrange something permanent in the way you see. Bong Joon-ho is the second kind. Most of us in this country came to him through Parasite , that extraordinary night when the Oscars remembered, briefly, that the rest of the world makes movies too. But to watch Memories of Murder again, in this rerelease, is to understand that he arrived fully for

THE RIP Review
Within the Miami-Dade County police department is a specialized unit known as the TNT (Tactical Narcotics Team). Before we even get introduced to the members of the TNT, we see the unit lead, Captain Jackie Velez (Line Esco) get murdered in cold blood. It just so happens that there are rumors the TNT is housing dirty cops who, when busting a drug house, will wind up robbing the house and reporting far less cash than what was actually on-site. So it is only natural that Intern
