  • Poor Things

    Poor Things

    ★★★★★

    “I have adventured it and found nothing but sugar and violence.“

    A succulent fable derived from classic literature, Poor Things is simultaneously a modern feminine-led Frankenstein retelling and a coming of age story, focusing on Bella Baxter (Emma Stone in a career-best performance) who has been reanimated, as Baxter affectionately claims, by the misunderstood and visually striking Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). What entails within is nothing short of unexpected when Baxter embarks on the journey of a lifetime to experience…

    A mother and a daughter. What a terrible combination of feelings and confusion and destruction.”

    Initially, I was going to say that Autumn Sonata, despite it’s comforting and cozy title, is a punch in the gut to anyone that was raised by and/or struggles with a parental figure that is stifling, borderline-abusive, and doesn’t know how to love their most important contribution to the world.

    Fear is a tool. When that light hits the sky, it’s not just a call. It’s a warning for them.

    Matt Reeves’ newest feature “The Batman” doubles as DC Comics’ most impressive installment…. scratch that; it doubles as the most impressive comic book film in history! Movies revolving around the Caped Crusader are certainly not in drought, but still take on such a tough task of nailing perhaps the grandest superhero across any brand of comics. The team of Reeves and…

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★★★

    “The visions are clear now. I see possible futures, all at once. Our enemies are all around us, and in so many futures they prevail. But I do see a way, there is a narrow way through.”

    Yes, yes… it’s true: the overwhelming hype from critics and fans alike is real! Denis Villeneuve managed to cherry-pick every alluring and genre-defining moment from Dune: Part One and transform those moments and characters into a masterclass in filmmaking to mark just how…
