Dune: Part 2 prevails as a sequel and possibly exceeds the success of Dune: Part 1. The bar was set high as expectations were positively strong before, but now, we may have one of the best Sci-Fi franchises of all time, with some even calling Part 2 a masterpiece.
The film exhibits its most substantial aspects in cinematography, sound design, and musical score. Personally, this area of the movie immersed me into an…
Poor Things is an exceptionally innovative film reminiscent of Metropolis and Frankenstein. Then, it infuses its world-building with timely themes that are both humorous and thought-provoking.
The film language on display may not catch everyone’s eye, including me, at times. However, once I sat and thought about the different creative choices, my appreciation grew deeper. For example, I didn’t consider why the visuals start as black and white and then progress to color. This decision is simply because Bella doesn’t…
The Electric State is another mediocre, decently executed Netflix movie of the week that I won't remember.

Black Bag is a unique exploration of espionage, marriage, relationships, and the nature of truth. The film takes an intriguing approach to storytelling, focusing on thrills rather than just action. However, even with a fresh spin, more is still desired.

I'm going to keep this subtle. I'm a black man, and I want to scream and shout at people who don't look like me about how much they don't understand what it's like to look like me. 😤
Listen, I get it. This "movie" has an abundant of extremely impactful themes, and yet, it simultaneously is the most pretentious story trying to be more woke than it actually is. However, what this movie really is, is propaganda to…
