Nosferatu 2024
“We are here encountering the undead plague carrier... the Vampyr... Nosferatu!”
Previously conceived into the screen by Murnau and Herzog, Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu marks the third reimagining of Henrik Galeen and F.W Murnau’s unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Eggers masterfully breathes new life into the tale with an ambience as richly haunting as the works of the legendary German filmmakers before him. As a result, the infamous Count Orlok rises once more with a nightmarish presence ready to haunt…

Civil War 2024
"I've never been so scared in my entire life. And I've never felt more alive."
To my utter shock, Garland’s vision unfolds into an experience far wilder than I ever dared to imagine. Civil War follows four determined journalists as they navigate through a war-torn United States in pursuit of securing a final interview with the President as well as capturing the iconic moment of his inevitable death. An exceptional exploration of the intersection between journalism & war, further elevated by…

Hairspray 2007
“Who cares about sleep when you can snooze in school? You'll never get to college but you'll sure look cool!”
Based on the 2002 Broadway musical and John Waters’ 1988 comedy, both of the same name, Hairspray follows pleasantly plump teenager Tracy Turnblad as she gains newfound fame after achieving her lifelong dream of becoming a regular on The Corny Collins Show. While the film bursts with infectious enthusiasm, its true brilliance lies in its unapologetic exploration of some of…

The Fall Guy 2024
“You need carbs!“
Former stunt performer David Leitch channels his deep passion for the art of stunts onto the screen in his fifth directorial effort, The Fall Guy. It’s as heartfelt, sincere and explosive as a tribute to moviemaking and its unsung stunt performers can get. Not only that, the movie also features a pretty entertaining action-romance narrative. The set pieces are wildly impressive, with a heavy emphasis on practical effects that make certain moments look and feel truly beautiful.…

Past Lives 2023
"I liked you for who you are; and who you are is a person who leaves."
In Past Lives, emerging writer & director Celine Song showcases immediate fine craftsmanship of her work, wonderfully emphasizing the beauty of human connections while reflecting on the past, present, and the realm of ‘what ifs’.

White Noise 2022
"Out of some persistent sense of large-scale ruin, we keep inventing hope."
What started as a surviving-the-apocalypse family trip, ended as a neo-noir revenge tale. What started excitingly, ended underwhelmingly.
White Noise is a prime example of a film overstuffing themselves with too much complex themes that it unintentionally destroyed itself. The first 30 minutes of White Noise was already entertaining, thrilling, and brilliant in itself. I was so on board with the family-centric story of the first half of…
