I could watch this a million & one times and STILL find it entertaining. Probably my most rewatched movie ever & an all-time classic.

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
"Everything Everywhere All at Once" is hands down one of the most mind-blowingly wild movies I've ever seen. I mean, seriously, it takes you on a cinematic rollercoaster like no other.
I'll admit, I heard all the buzz about it and was like, "Can it really be that good?" But you know what? It definitely is.
This flick blends genres like it's nobody's business. It's all over the place, in the best way possible. The story weaves through different dimensions…

Dune: Part Two 2024
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…

Persona 1966
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…

Past Lives 2023
"Past Lives” took me on quite a ride, and I can't say I didn't have mixed feelings about it. The pacing, well, it kind of dragged, to be honest. But oh boy, the cinematography was a whole different story. It was like a visual love letter, with scenes so beautifully captured that it felt like I was flipping through pages of a stunning poetry book.
But here's the twist: "Past Lives" wears its inspirations, especially from "In the Mood for…

Barbie 2023
So, I finally caught the Barbie movie, and boy, was there a lot of buzz leading up to it. I mean, people were talking about it all summer. But here's the scoop: I couldn't help but feel that all the hype was for no good reason.
Sure, the movie is a visual treat. It's like a candy-colored dream come to life on the screen. The aesthetics, the costumes, the set design – all top-notch. I mean, it's Barbie, right? You'd…

The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2017
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…

Shakespeare in Love 1998
"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…

The Piano Teacher 2001
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…
