    Carrie

    ★★★★½

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Alright, let's talk about “Carrie” this movie was seriously ahead of its time. I mean, from its release back in '76 to now, it’s definitely changed the game for the horror genre. Now, about that color red in the climax scenes – it's like an art form, ya know? The prom scene when she finally lets go of all that built up anger & the whole scene shifts to red as she loses it, that was just 🤌🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    And don't even…

  • Dune: Part Two

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★½

    So, I caught "Dune Part Two" today, and man, it's a visual extravaganza. The cinematography is next level, but here's the thing: the story just didn't do it for me. I mean, I tried to get into it, but it felt like it was dragging on forever. The runtime was a little too long & somewhere in the middle, I found myself zoning out.

    Idk, I just couldn't shake this feeling that something was missing. Maybe I was expecting too much, but…

  • Shakespeare in Love

    Shakespeare in Love

    ★★★★

    "Shakespeare in Love,” man, it surprised me big time, especially after it apparently swiped the Oscar from Saving Private Ryan. But hear me out, this movies a gem. The cast? Absolutely on point—Joseph Fiennes & Gwyneth Paltrow nailed their roles as the leads, but there were so many other recognizable faces in this film like Judy Dench, Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush & surprisingly, Ben Affleck, who— lets be real, looked a little lost in this movie, but even still. Just seeing all…

  • A Nightmare on Elm Street

    A Nightmare on Elm Street

    ★★★★

    Nightmare on Elm Street really pulled me in with its classic ‘80s horror vibe. The whole ambiance of the film brings this uncanny charm that's hard not to enjoy, and despite time passing, Freddy Krueger remains a lasting horror icon. The storyline & concept are solid, even if the effects aren't up to today's standards. Plus, that classic spooky soundtrack? Loved it. It added this haunting atmosphere that intensified the scares, but as a modern day viewer, it just made me…

  • The Piano Teacher

    The Piano Teacher

    This movie was a tough watch for me. It digs into some seriously dark & unsettling themes that just didn't sit well with my tastes. The film dives deep into the messed-up mind of Erika, a piano teacher dealing with some serious psychological issues.

    I get why some folks might praise its raw exploration of the human psyche & how it fearlessly tackles subjects that are usually taboo. But for me, it was just too much. The movie's intense & disturbing content, like…

  • Persona

    Persona

    ★★★★★

    This film was just— “Wow”. I don't really know how else to describe it. I usually prefer movies with straightforward narratives, but this one's different. It's like stepping into an abstract painting – puzzling yet captivating.

    It’s a movie that doesn't tell a typical story. It's more like an open field where you get to make your own connections. It explores ideas of identity & self-discovery in a way that's completely up to interpretation.

    The performances by Liv Ullmann & Bibi Andersson…

  • The Truman Show

    The Truman Show

    ★★★★½

    This is what I thought reality TV was supposed to be, as a kid.

  • Possession

    Possession

    ★★★½

    "Possession" is an unsettling trip, and let me tell you, Isabelle Adjani's performance is the absolute standout in this super weird & unsettling flick. Although, it's not the kind of movie I'd typically go for, mainly because of its intentionally confusing narrative structure. But I get why people praise it – it's horror done right.

    Now, let's talk about that narrative – it's all over the place & confusing. It left me scratching my head more than a few times & I know…

  • The Killing of a Sacred Deer

    The Killing of a Sacred Deer

    ★★★½

    Okay, so, let's talk about 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer.'  I think this may be one of the most bizarre movies I’ve ever seen in my life. This film is like a rollercoaster ride through the Twilight Zone & I'm not sure if I loved it or was completely baffled. But one thing's for sure, it's unforgettable.

    The story, oh boy, it's something else. It's so strange that you can't help but be sucked into its weirdness. It's like a…

  • Totally Killer

    Totally Killer

    ★½

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Totally Killer was like, a total rollercoaster of clichés, man. I mean, it had this cool idea of mixing time travel with slasher film, but they just messed up it’s potential.

    The thing that really bugged me was how the main character, who had this time-travel gig going on, was totally fixated on only her mom. Like, she didn't even bother with her dad, who was, let's be real, a complete idiot in the movie, at least the younger version…

  • The Crow

    The Crow

    ★★★½

    So, "The Crow" – it's like revenge on steroids. Brandon Lee as Eric Draven? He crushes it, bringing the perfect mix of intense and emotional to the table.

    What makes this movie stand out is the vibe – it's all dark streets, rain & this moody atmosphere that sucks you in. You feel like you're right there with Eric, dishing out some supernatural justice.

    The story flows nicely, balancing action & character depth. The supporting cast, especially Ernie Hudson and Rochelle Davis,…

  • Bottoms

    Bottoms

    Not my type of movie, but Marshawn Lynch & Ayo Edeberi were both good in their respective roles.
