Y Tu Mamá También 2001
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Something really honest about this film. Easy to focus on the sexual aspects of it, but what shine through in the end was the realisation and maturing of the two main characters (Tenoch and Julio). I feel as Luisa represented the maturation and acceptance of their true selves, and when they left her, it was a sign of how many of us disregard our true selves and what we actually want for what’s expected or what’s “normal”.

Carlito's Way 1993

The killing of David was brutal and very satisfying. Great ending and a fantastic story. Started off slow but that’s expected from 90s films. Pacino was fantastic and the ending is different from most gangster-like films from that era, warning of the consequences of a life of crime and how difficult it truly is to reform from the old ways.

How monster films should be done. Digestible science and mostly powered by raw emotion and trauma as well as connections with the protagonist and other characters, all told through a flawless story. Godzilla (or Gojira) originated from Japanese cinema, so it’s only fair that they’ve made the BEST version of it that I’ve watched. Rightfully deserving of an Oscar for the VFX because the decimation of Ginza scene was just WILD.
