I'm Still Here 2024
"I'm Still Here" is a beautifully shot glimpse into one family's struggle under dictatorship. The cinematography is gorgeous, the direction is engaging, the production design is fantastic, and the costumes are great - it's only weakness is its plot.
I went into "I'm Still Here" without knowing what it was about. The first act dragged and meandered until we finally get to the crux of the story: the dad has been delivering messages to the anti-government terrorists and is arrested.…

Joker: Folie à Deux 2024
"Joker: Folie á Deux" is a decently crafted movie that is so boring and pointless that it fails the basic qualification of being entertainment: it wasn't entertaining.
I had absolutely no interest in a sequel to the first "Joker." The first Joker was a thematic mess and a derivative, contrived pastiche of better films (mostly Scorcese), and when the trailer came out for the sequel, I seemed to be the only one who had absolutely no interest. Then the reviews…
