Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

2004

★★★★★ Liked 11

Did I ever wish I could erase the memory of my past significant others? No—not now. But did I once? Absolutely. After my first long-term relationship ended, I was undone. The heartbreak was relentless, stretching across months, suffocating every part of me. I drowned the ache in drugs and alcohol, blurred the sharp edges of loss with substances and distractions. I cried nearly every day. I couldn't eat. I lost a significant amount of weight, and with it, I lost…

There have been many times in my life when I didn’t want to live. Times when I came close to making that final decision. Looking back now, I’m thankful that I didn’t succeed—not because I triumphed through strength or resilience in those moments, but simply because I didn’t. I used to think of that as another failure. Now, I see it as grace.

"Made it, Ma! Top of the world!"

White Heat is a powerhouse of a film and absolutely deserves its status as a classic. From start to finish, it’s gripping, gritty, and surprisingly ahead of its time. While the ending comes a bit abruptly, it still leaves a lasting impact, especially thanks to that iconic final scene. What really elevates the film is James Cagney’s unforgettable performance—he’s magnetic and terrifying as Cody Jarrett, a ruthless, unhinged gangster with deep psychological complexity.…

Night Call

★★★★ Liked Watched

Wow—I didn’t expect to like Night Call as much as I did. It’s a wild, tense ride that really surprised me. While it's not perfect and definitely has its flaws, it delivers a gritty, brutal experience that pulls you in and doesn’t let go easily.

The film leans hard into its dark, almost grimy atmosphere, with a sense of desperation running through every scene. It’s intense and often brutal—both in of violence and emotional weight—and that won’t be for…

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

2025

★★★★ Liked 2

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has all the franchise hallmarks fans have come to expect—Tom Cruise in full sprint mode, a cascade of flashbacks, high-octane action set pieces, an absurdly convoluted plot, and a villain with a doomsday worldview that borders on parody. And yet, it all works. Sure, it may not win over everyone, and some might walk away feeling underwhelmed, but I was more than satisfied. This one felt even more expansive, with a broader ensemble of…
