Heart Eyes 2025
A pulpy, midnight-movie packed with gleefully excessive violence that feels like part of the fun.

Corner Store 2010
An excellent documentary that follows Yousef, a Palestinian refugee who rebuilds his life in San Francisco, running a corner store while enduring a decade-long struggle to reunite with his family. Corner Store weaves together the harsh realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the flawed immigration system, and the resilience of familial bonds, while touching on themes of migration, memory, and displacement with poignant depth. Recommended.

Oru Jaathi Jathakam 2025
Oru Jaathi Jathakam revolves around a deeply prejudiced protagonist, with his purported journey toward personal growth forming the film’s central narrative arc. While the story ostensibly aims to critique toxic masculinity, its execution feels disingenuous. Fleeting moments of potential self-reflection are quickly abandoned in favor of lowest-common-denominator humor, which seems to pander to, rather than challenge, the regressive worldview. The result is a deeply problematic film that risks reinforcing harmful stereotypes, particularly those directed at the LGBTQ+ community, under the guise of satirical comedy.
