When one door closes,
try the next
not all locks are meant to last.

Love is an illusion,
a shadow that fades with time.
But you
you are real.
And that’s what matters.

This is so beautiful

I always like when I find a random gem.

Cool dudes killing cowboys in style what more do you want

The cinematography in Conclave is honestly beautiful. Some of the shots and angles are just insane in the best way. You can tell a lot of thought went into how each scene was framed. The way the camera moves through those grand Vatican spaces, or lingers on a quiet moment between characters, really pulls you in. It doesn’t just look good it feels meaningful, like the visuals are telling their own story alongside the dialogue. Definitely one of those films where you just want to sit back and take it all in

To Live boasts stunning cinematography that captures both the quiet beauty and the devastating reality of life under Mao’s rule. The film is beautiful, heartbreaking, sad and deeply human in a way that lingers long after it ends.

The story unfolds with rich character development, showing a family’s slow unraveling through decades of political chaos. It’s a candid look at Mao Zedong’s Communist takeover of China and how regular people like the ones in this film got swept up, used, and left behind.

The film doesn’t just tell a story, it shows the brutal impact of the Great Leap Forward, a movement that was supposed to modernize the country but ended up crippling the economy and leaving millions in poverty. You feel that pain through the family’s losses, is quite personal, and devastating.

I love the feeling this film gave me. It’s beautiful, but so fucking sad. It doesn’t need to be loud to break your heart. It just shows life as it is soft, harsh, and sometimes unbearably real.

An exploration of mental illness, isolation, and obsession. intense and relentless from start to finish. Bro stays chasing blonde women and scaring them. it’s a good film. I wanted to like it more, but it just feels like it’s trying too hard.

Messiah of Evil is a nightmarish psychosis. The atmosphere is eerie and bleak, and everything just feels off in this really creepy, uneasy way from the very beginning to the end. It’s one of those films where something’s always wrong, but you can’t quite explain what it is. You just feel it.

At the same time, the film is weirdly beautiful. It’s colorful and has some stunning imagery and aesthetics. It’s visually striking, but in this off-putting, surreal kind of way. Like, everything looks good but feels wrong. That contrast makes it even more disturbing.

You literally feel trapped with the characters. Like you’re stuck inside this slow, quiet nightmare and there’s no way out. Some scenes really got to me, especially the supermarket and the theater scenes. They’re not loud or flashy, but they’re genuinely scary. 

I was also kind of sleepy while watching it not because it was boring or anything, but because I was just tired. And somehow, that made the whole thing feel even more like a dream or a nightmare, really. It was such a weird experience. I felt like I was drifting in and out of it, and honestly, I think that actually enhanced the experience of watching the film for me. It really felt like I was having a nightmare.

Sleuth is a cat and mouse game but not quite in the traditional sense. We’re thrown into a battle of wits between two sharp characters, each trying to outsmart the other. The story is clever in how it constantly twists and turns, all while taking place in a single, confined setting.

At times, it’s easy to start feeling bored. The entire film rests on just two characters and a whole lot of dialogue. But just as your attention starts to drift, the film pulls a rabbit out of its hat and surprises you, pulling you right back in. It’s fun to watch everything unfold, and the way it toys with the viewer is part of what makes it enjoyable.

That said, the film does run a bit long, which can make it hard to stay focused all the way through. Still, it’s a unique and engaging experience especially if you enjoy psychological mind games and heavy dialogue films.

Bad Lieutenant is a masterclass in character study. It follows a self-destructive cop with no moral com, spiraling deeper into his own depravity. It’s a menacing exercise in existential ecstasy, ugly, relentless, and hard to look away from.

The camera stalks the Lieutenant like a shadow, lingering on him almost obsessively. There’s no escape from his downfall, no breathing room, it’s a nonstop descent into moral decay. He gambles, snorts coke, abuses power, and rots in plain sight. The film is filthy and chaotic; you feel like you need to take a shower after watching it.

You can tell he’s exhausted by the life he’s living, but he can’t stop. He’s in too deep. The addiction, the chaos, it’s all he knows. There’s also a religious layer running through the film, about guilt, meaning, and identity. But even when he tries to do something good in the end, it doesn’t land. He still fails. Because at the core, he has no real sense of morality, he's empty.

Harvey Keitel’s performance is absolutely raw. He vanishes into the role, putting everything out there with no filter. It’s intense, unflinching, and completely lived in. A special performance in a film that pulls no punches.

Black Bag has beautiful cinematography, the film is undeniably stylish, and I really appreciated its minimalist aesthetic. But honestly, that’s about all it has going for it. Even with two of my favorite actors, Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett, I found myself wanting to like this film more than I actually did.

The film doesn’t do itself any favors in how it handles its characters. They come off as cold and emotionally distant. There’s this lingering sense of detachment not just between the characters themselves, but also between the characters and the audience. At times, it felt like they were speaking a different language entirely, making it hard to connect with anyone or anything on screen.

The plot is convoluted and hard to follow, and when you combine that with dull, inaccessible characters, it just ends up feeling like a slow, disconnected mess. For a film that looks so good on the surface, it’s a shame how hollow it feels underneath. Overall, Black Bag was a big disappointment for me.

Superb direction, beautiful and icy cinematography, unexpectedly funny and heartwarming moments, and incredible performances all around especially from Robert Pattinson and Mark Ruffalo, who completely steal the show. Pattinson just doesn’t have bad performance these days. He was truly incredible in this.

This actually started off really fun and engaging, and for a moment, I thought I was in for something genuinely entertaining. But as it progressed, it started to feel awkward and, honestly, kind of cringy. I really wanted to like it, it showed so much promise in the beginning. Of course, we’ve seen this kind of story play out plenty of times before, and while it doesn’t bring anything new to the table, it still managed to be enjoyable at first. It’s just a shame it couldn’t hold onto that momentum.

The Addiction is a philosophical escapade. The film looks absolutely stunning, the cinematography is genuinely gorgeous. The atmosphere is bleak and somber, mirroring the emotional state of our main character Kathleen. There’s a heaviness to it, like the film is quietly suffocating you.

The choice to shoot in black and white works. It gives the whole thing a sense of distance and decay. New York City has never felt more tormented. It's cold, detached, almost haunted. There’s this one scene in a library that looks absolutely ridiculous in the best way. The shots are so beautiful they feel out of place, but that contrast just adds to the film’s weird, dreamy tone.

The film leans hard into its philosophical side. It’s not just about addiction. It's about guilt, shame, despair, isolation, and how we rationalize pain. It doesn’t hand you any answers. There’s no comfort here. Instead, it forces you to sit with what’s happening and come to your own conclusions.

There’s a certain detachment to the whole film, like it doesn’t want to be close to you, and maybe that’s the point. Addiction distances people, not just from others, but from themselves. Watching this feels like the film is testing you: how much are you willing to invest? Are you going to let it pull you in, or are you keeping your guard up? Like addiction. 

That said, some of the acting just didn’t work for me. It felt wooden, especially in moments that needed emotional weight. And yeah, I get the intention, but I wasn’t really into how Kathleen becomes a vampire. It just kind of happens. No build-up, no background, nothing. Though, to be fair, in the context of the film’s philosophy, maybe that randomness doesn’t matter. It’s not about lore, it’s about metaphor.

It’s an incredibly well-made film that I couldn’t fully connect with.i probably missed a lot of things. It’s definitely not for everyone, and I fall into that “not for everyone” group, even though I actually work with people battling addiction. Still, it’s a captivating and unique take on the vampire genre, one drenched in poetry, philosophy, and everything messy about human nature.

Inherent Vice is like PTA’s version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but not on steroids. Nothing really makes sense as we follow the private eye “Doc” through this hazy, dreamlike atmosphere of 70s LA.

At its base, Inherent Vice is about a man longing for love, connection, and some kind of meaning in a chaotic and confusing world. Doc is insistent on finding his ex, clinging to the remnants of the ’60s hippie counterculture as it fades away. The Manson murders have made LA paranoid, there are cults and neo-Nazis, and it all feels like one big tangled puzzle with no clear solution.

It’s a bizarre trip of a film psychedelic, scattered, full of paranoia, and drenched in the long, strange aftermath of the Manson era. Everyone’s questioning what’s going on, but nobody really knows anything. The characters are as lost as the viewers, stumbling through this warped version of reality.

The movie is definitely too long and often hard to follow, but there’s something about it that still makes it enjoyable. Maybe it’s the vibe, the weirdness, or just watching Doc try to make sense of a world that doesn’t want to be understood.

Anomalisa perfectly lives up to its title: it's an anomaly, strange and beautiful. This film is about loneliness and longing. It follows a man so deep in his own head that he can’t accept the good things that come into his life. He’s a perfectionist, consumed by his own standards, which drives him toward disconnection and isolation from the world around him. Charlie Kaufman has such a unique way of capturing the human experience with a precision of discomfort. Anomalisa is an uncomfortable experience, yet it’s relatable to an extent that’s hard to put into words. In Kaufman’s world, the human experience is a rich, messy, and beautiful mosaic of connection, emotion, growth, identity, meaning, creativity, and mortality. I don’t know, his work just speaks to me on a certain level.

500 Days of Summer is beautifully crafted. The film is stylish, and the editing is top-notch, I haven’t seen anything this cool in a while. But beyond its aesthetics, it’s also one of the most raw and honest portrayals of love I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t sugarcoat relationships or give you a Hollywood ending, instead, it reflects the kind of emotional uncertainty many people face today.

What struck me most is how timeless the story feels, especially now. In an era where many people avoid labels in relationships, choosing instead to “go with the flow” and live in the moment, 500 Days of Summer feels like Marc Webb somehow saw into the future. He captured the essence of a generation trying to figure out what love means to them without rules, scripts, or guarantees.

At its core, the film is about the human experience, beautiful, heartbreaking, and heartwarming all at once. It’s about how we navigate the chaos of connection, loss, and the personal growth that inevitably comes with it. A film I will definitely go back to.

I have a love hate relationship with espionage films because they are sometimes full of propaganda.

Super is a menacing exercise in existential coping, an interesting take on the superhero genre. Frank’s journey is less about justice and more about making sense of the world after his wife leaves him for a sleazy drug dealer. Struggling to understand the absurdity of his situation, he clings to the belief that he didn’t deserve what happened to him. Frank then undergoes a transformation, but instead of coping with loss in a healthy way, he externalizes his pain through violent and delusional vigilantism. The film thrives on unhinged, chaotic energy, with brutality that is both ugly and overwhelming. At times, it’s deeply uncomfortable to watch, but the dark humor and sharp comedic timing keep it from feeling like a complete slog.

The attempt to portray a dysfunctional family fell flat. I’m not sure if I was already annoyed before watching this film, but it only made me more annoyed.

Millie Bobby brown fire your Agents, they keep feeding you bullshit.

To Live and Die in L.A. is a wild ride through the gritty streets of 1980s Los Angeles, packed with morally ambiguous and shady characters.The film constantly challenges you on who to root for every character is morally compromised in their own way, which deepens the film’s bleak and cynical atmosphere. And that car chase? Easily one of the best and most intense I’ve ever seen. It’s a relentless, edge of your seat masterclass in action filmmaking.

I wasn’t patient enough with the film because I thought the first act was dumb. However, it eventually transformed into an amazing social commentary on incel/red pill ideology and women’s autonomy. It was actually very well done.

I finished the film even more confused about who Bob Dylan is, despite watching over two hours about him. I’d heard his name before, but this movie didn’t help me understand him any better. 

Timothée Chalamet has a big personality and is very charismatic in real life, but unfortunately, I haven’t seen him fully embody a role on screen, except maybe in Wonka. Even in this film, his charisma didn’t really shine through. It is no secret he is a real talent but it just not doing it for me right now.

I get that this was supposed to be a biopic of Dylan’s early career, but what’s the point of making one if you’re not going to explore his entire journey? The attempt to take a unique approach fell flat and felt boring. It was a missed opportunity to capture the essence of someone considered iconic.

The brutalist is visually stunning, the costume design is incredible, and the film’s cinematography is vast in scope, an American epic almost done right. From the story to the production design, everything is well done. The film explores ambition, the American dream, and the lonely road to achieving it. The brutalist architecture mirrors the struggle our main character faces and the obstacles he had to overcome to reach his dream. My only complaint was the weak third act, it did little to overshadow the film’s overall impact, also the subtle Zionism didn’t move me Other than that, everything was wonderful. Felicity Jones stole the show for me every time she’s on screen, she just takes over with authority. She was mesmerizing and captivating. Adrien was incredible as well, really enjoyed the experience.

With its beautiful cinematography, which is always expected from Wim Wenders, Wings of Desire is an existential yearning to be seen and loved. A beautiful, poetic love letter to humanity. It’s a meditative journey filled with love and melancholy, a juxtaposition between the lives of angels and humans. The angels’ desire to be human and have free will makes you ponder and appreciate the life you have, the ability to have agency, to roam freely, to feel love, pain, and all that comes with being human. Truly an incredible piece of work.

The Daytrippers offers a portrait of dysfunctional family dynamics, real people dealing with relatable problems. The audience is put right in the middle of a chaotic journey. As we follow these complex characters throughout their journey, we see how tension develops between them, and their attempts to solve it and make sense of everything are hilariously well done. The underlying sense of longing and uncertainty, with the characters trying to relate to one another and understand each other, gives the film real emotional weight.

It wasn’t necessarily funny, but it was a fun ride with beautiful LA scenery and stunning women.

Bro couldn’t catch a break lol

Bro really risk it all for some sexy time smh

The Seventh Seal is a claustrophobic encounter between Death and a knight. Ingmar Bergman leaves no room to breathe with his use of tight camera angles and meticulous composition, mirroring the characters’ own sense of being trapped and uncertain. As a viewer, you’re drawn into their experience of discomfort and chaos. While I grasped the overall impression of the film, I found it hard to connect with the story on a deeper level. I almost wished for more scenes between the knight and Death, more heavy, philosophical dialogues about life and mortality that could have enriched the story . Although the film successfully evokes the emotions Bergman intended, it ultimately fell a little short for me.

Martin offers a unique take on the vampire genre, one that still feels fresh today thanks to Romero’s outside-the-box thinking. I really love how the film looks, despite its obviously low budget, the raw and grungy aesthetic works in its favor, adding to its unsettling nature. The atmosphere is eerie and bleak, perfectly complementing the film’s themes.

At its core, Martin is a candid exploration of isolation, mental illness, and the clash between belief and reality. As we follow the main character, we see how he feeds into the figment of his imagination, convincing himself that he is a real vampire. He longs for connection, but his delusions, combined with his introversion, prevent him from forming any real relationships. 

This fuels his conflict with his super-religious uncle, who insists on calling him Nosferatu, something that, somehow, ends up being unintentionally funny, while trying to “save” him from the evil he believes has taken hold of his nephew. Overall, Martin is such a unique and thought provoking experience

I wanted the high I got from The Ladykillers, so I went back for more.

Classic Coen-esque, where everything keeps getting worse and worse. A bunch of misfits trying to rob a casino, and everything goes south.

The Color of Pomegranates is a visual delight and a truly unique cinematic experience, taking you on a spiritual odyssey. Deeply rooted in culture, religion, poetry, and symbolism, the film uses striking imagery, rich colors, and evocative music to stir emotions.

This is one of those films that you have to take for what it is, an artistic expression rather than a conventional narrative. Though, if you look closely, there is a loose narrative structure, especially when considering the chapters and the journey of the main character.

I feel that if you are not Armenian or unfamiliar with their history, you may never fully understand or appreciate the film’s deeper meaning, as it talks about the Armenian experience. Instead, you have to rely on your eyes, your senses, and your appreciation of art to absorb its beauty.

Frenzy is a three-way cat-and-mouse game between a serial killer, the accused, and the police. It’s a suspenseful ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat for most of its runtime. The first and second acts are wonderfully executed, building tension and intrigue. My problem with the film starts in the third act.

The latter part of the film is horribly handled, with a noticeable lack of emotion and reaction from the characters that annoyed me. For example, when Blaney is brought to the police station, there is no real reaction or emotion from him, this is a man accused of being a serial killer, yet he doesn’t even try to defend himself. Where is the urgency? The fear? The frustration? Every character’s reaction in the film feels strangely detached.

For a film centered around the human condition, Frenzy lacks emotional depth. That being said, at least the final seconds of the film is funny as fuck.

It’s no secret that Robert Eggers is an auteur, with his meticulous attention to detail and signature gothic style. Nosferatu is undeniably well crafted, featuring stunning cinematography, accompanied by rich costume design and immersive sets. Eggers transports you to the 1800s through his dark, gothic aesthetic with technical brilliance. 

The atmosphere is drenched in eerie, looming clouds, adding to the film’s haunting tone. That being said, where the film fell short for me was the story. It was pretty boring. I felt like there was a disconnect between the characters, and as a viewer, I struggled to engage with the story. Also, maybe I’m bugging, but nobody can convince me that Lily-Rose Depp can act. 

Overall, Nosferatu is a technically impressive and visually memorable experience, but the story itself left much to be desired.

Gladiator II definitely has its moments. The film is filled with highs and lows. The costume design and acting were great, but the direction was lacking. At times, I found myself trying not to cringe, maybe I just take things too seriously. It was unnecessarily long, which made the film somewhat boring.

Younger me would have appreciated this film more when I was obsessed with Juice and Boyz n the Hood. There’s something both profound and menacing about Menace II Society. The quote, ‘You either die or go to jail, hauntingly follows this character’s generation after generation. The depiction of intergenerational trauma runs deep, making this film as impactful as it is unsettling.

This was a wild ride. It started slow but picked up in the second act, building to an incredible third act that completely delivered. Y Tu Mamá También is raw, emotional, and beautifully shot. I also want some of that.
