“Missing”
“Missing” just takes it to new levels; the story is not as powerful or believable as “Searching”, but it is way more interesting than the “Unfriended” movies, but it is much “bigger” in scale, which makes it much more impressive in regards to the writing.
-
“Apocalypse Now”
“Apocalypse Now” is iconic in its own right, and the reason for it is that the director gave it his all.
-
“Infinity pool”
It’s rare to watch a movie and still struggle to fully process it 24 hours later, but that’s precisely how I felt after watching “Infinity Pool.”
-
“Morbius”
Morbius is the second attempt of Sony to milk the Spider-man property; after Venom, this was not the most obvious villain to take on, but I have to say,
-
“Turning Red”
“Turning Red” is not a film for children; it is more aimed toward adults and teens; however, it still seems childish at points or a little obnoxious in how it sees young girls, but it does save itself because of how it balances that with some profound and meaningful messages for young girls like me.
-
“RRR”
“RRR” is nuts, absolutely nuts, and honestly, it has every element for me to hate it; somehow, I had a blast with it.
-
“Cha Cha Real Smooth”
“Cha Cha Real Smooth” will warm your heart at the same time it rips it out, it is beautiful at times and had me laughing with never even feeling it was trying, and it did all that, going really deep into some dark subjects.
-
“Tár”
“Tár” is easily one of the most influential movies of the year, not only by the juggernaut of talent that is Cate Blanchett but also because of the subject matters it takes on.
-
“Creed 3”
“Creed III” is the first of the 9 movies that don’t have Sylvester Stallone involved in some way, and believe it or not, that does make it feel different.
-
“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…
-
“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.
