  In case you didn’t know how many Oscar’s this masterpiece won, Sean Baker made sure to have Ani spell it out for you.

  Eyes Wide Shut 1999

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 26 Nov 2024

  Sensational in every way. The Christmas setting, the subdued colours, warm interiors, even the messy kitchens work. 
  It’s an entrancing experience that deconstructs the marital status and thrusts a once secure man into a world of untapped realities. Lust, prostitution, trafficking, elitist exploitation. All seen in one night, all with a resounding reminder that humans love and connect, but when we’re stripped down, we’re all animals. Sex, sexual desires, sexual fantasies, everything is sexually charged in this movie. Kubrick really…

Marvel was able to bring together 20 Iron Man’s, a CGI villain, and choreograph it all over a shipyard with genuine effects. Now we get a choppy, green-screened CGI-fest with atrocious lighting and the filmmakers call it a day? 
  And don’t even get…

  The Dark Knight 2008

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 20 Aug 2024

  A technical masterclass, a genre-defining epic, and a film that will transcend any and every criticism that comic book movies are not cinema. It is storytelling at its finest, firmly cemented by a flawless antagonist, superb crime noir drama, and jaw-dropping cinematography. Undeniably one of the first movies that made me fall in love with movies - simply put, a cinematic masterpiece.
