    I'm Not a Robot

    ★★★

    Really cool concept that didn’t quite stick the landing in an impactful way. I’m Not a Robot (2023) was still a solid watch, but the short lost its originality with a very predictable ending in an increasingly cliché sci-fi subgenre. The setup had a lot of potential, but I just wish the screenwriter had gone in a less obvious direction.

    ★★★★½

    Ashamed to be an Italian-American film buff who didn’t see The Godfather (1972) until I was 30.

    Great movie, but you all already knew that haha. Not much to say that hasn’t already been said about such an iconic classic.

    It's crazy to me to think that Paramount originally didn’t want Al Pacino in the lead role, pushing for bigger names like Robert Redford or Warren Beatty. Hard to imagine anyone else playing Michael Corleone.

    At no point does Come to Daddy (2019) truly cross into the horror umbrella, despite being touted as a horror…

    I did not know exactly what to expect with X (2022)...

    A24 trailers have proven themselves to be increasingly more deceiving - The studio has gotten into a habit of portraying dramas, thrillers, and the like as horror films, only for audiences to discover that the movie they paid to see doesn't fully transcend into the horror genre.

    This marketing trend is clearly a way for A24 to bolster additional traffic towards their less confident film releases that they predict…
