“Cocaine Bear”
“Cocaine Bear”is undeniably crazy, and that’s what makes it work. It’s impossible to handle the story of a cocaine-addicted bear in a safe way, and everyone involved in the movie knew that.
“The Wolf of Wall Street”
When I started watching “The Wolf of Wall Street”, the expectations were so high that it would be hard to match them; surprise, surprise Leo ultimately surpassed all expectations.
“John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum”
“John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” is a 131-minute movie with 90% action and stunts, and not any kind of action and stunts; you get the best you will ever see in any film.
“Shazam!”
“Shazam!” had many good individual things that got mixed with lazy writing, mixed tones, too many plots and plot holes a long runtime with no reason for it.
“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”
Ant-man Quantumania is the exact definition of what Marvel is now in the franchise. They bring the comics to life through vibrant colour pallets and extravagant cinematography/special effects.
“Beautiful Boy”
“Beautiful Boy” had every single element to shock us, to really go for our emotions and use them in a cheap way, but instead, it just strips all that way and tells us the story of a Dad that is lost and way over his head and just wants to save his beautiful son, this might be the reason you will love it or the reason why you don’t care about it.
“Us”
“Us” is one tough movie to write about with no spoilers, but still, we will try to talk about the experience of watching it and not so much the plot, messages, and sub-messages that it is full of it.
“Call me by your name”
Its a beautiful love story but one that is wrong and that should not be put in such a light, especially by the parents in the movie; the ending is again something not to be seen as romantic, especially by the parents,
“Nowhere Boy”
“Nowhere Boy” is the story of a young John Lennon, and how troubled he was; it does show how he meets Paul Macartney, but that is never the focus of the movie; the focus here is who John was and how his pain fuelled his obsession of being someone that people would look up to.
“The Girl in the spider web”
The change of actors, to be honest, didn’t hurt the film one little bit, Rooney Mara was, but Claire Foy is no way behind her in any way, to be honest, at some points she is able to bring Lisbeth Salander’s rage to screen on a more visceral way.
“The Whale”
After watching “The Fabelmans” just a couple of days ago, I was pretty sure not many movies could hit me that hard; well, I was very wrong “The Whale” did.
“Blindspotting”
“Blindspotting” honestly blew my mind in every way possible, and it’s crazy to see it receive such little recognition.
“Last Night in Soho”
“Last Night in Soho” is one of the year’s best films and my favourite of 2021. Not only is it stunning in every technical aspect, but it is also fresh and another masterclass in filmmaking by Edgar Wright.
“The Batman”
In my opinion, this is the perfect Batman movie. I am a massive fan of the Tim Burton movies, and I believe they are, in some ways, better Batman movies than the Nolan ones. However, as movies, the Nolan ones are far superior.
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” was everything I wanted and more, and it’s actually probably in my top 5 MCU movies.
“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”
I just watched “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” and let me start by saying that this movie is “BIG.” It’s probably one of the biggest movies in the MCU up to now. When I say “BIG,” I don’t mean in length. Sadly, the opposite is true.
“The Menu”
“Ahhhhh, there are no original movies anymore.”, “Every story was told before, guess The Menu will shut many people up.
“Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio”
We have gotten so many versions of Pinocchio; this year alone, we had a big live-action remake by Disney, but still, no one ever did it just like this.
“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery”
We had listened to the opinions of many people we respect, about “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” so expectations were very high, but they all started to crumble fast.
“Aftersun”
This movie just knocked us out; the simplicity of the story and how natural and believable the relationship of this father and daughter felt, and how, in many ways, we could see our own relationship.
