  Exam 2009

  ★½ Watched 01 Mar 2025

  Live-action adaptation of Naruto's Chunin Exams First Phase. (Actually, the Naruto episode was better and more interesting in every way.) Ibiki Morino’s cameo as the exam presenter was pretty nice, though.

  The Unforgivable 2021

  ★★★½ Watched 08 Feb 2025

  I really liked Sandra Bullock's performance in this one; I think she fits perfectly in this kind of drama/thriller role. Overall, I found the plot interesting, but the "revenge brothers arc" could have been left out without any issues. I really loved the speechless reunion at the end, though.

  Christiane F. 1981

  ★★★★ Watched 03 Feb 2025

  I like the fact that this movie is as raw as it should be, since, in my opinion, there's no other way to portray a powerful message about the dangers of drug abuse. Christiane is nothing more than a victim of bad friendships and absent parents, trying to find understanding in the darkest places. I also appreciated the symbolism of the caged birds throughout the movie, which, for me, represents the unattainable hopes of the main characters to change their lives for the better. Additionally, David Bowie's appearance in the film is fantastic, I absolutely loved the "Heroes" scene.

  I think this is one of those movies that has inspired many others, as even today you can find directors who use Travis Bickle as the basis for their main characters to create amazing stories. Some examples include "Drive", "American Psycho", "Fight Club", "Blade Runner 2049", and others. Travis, along with the characters from the aforementioned movies, is very relatable because they convey that sense of loneliness and incomprehension we sometimes feel toward the world around us. This only highlights…
