    Drive

    ★★★★★

    Like its nameless protagonist, Drive glides through Los Angeles with lethal precision. Director Nicolas Winding Refn crafts a neo-noir that pulses with fluorescent menace and quiet grace. It's a film that knows when to whisper and when to scream.

    Ryan Gosling's Driver says little, but his silence speaks volumes. He's a stunt driver by day, getaway wheelman by night – a man who lives by a code as precise as his five-minute window. Gosling transforms stillness into an art form,…

    The Matrix

    ★★★★★

    In 1999, a film arrived that would permanently alter the landscape of cinema. The Wachowskis' groundbreaking sci-fi thriller didn't just bend the rules of filmmaking—it rewrote them entirely.

    When The Matrix hit theatres, nobody saw it coming. Here was a film that opened to widespread acclaim, eventually grossing over $460 million worldwide—not bad for a high-concept sci-fi film with a $63 million budget. But box office numbers only tell part of the story.

While the film has its moments and remains watchable, it struggles to find its footing, lacking the charm and coherence of the beloved Brendan Fraser version.

    The film’s biggest talking point is its role as the would-be cornerstone of the Dark Universe. From the outset, it’s clear that The Mummy is trying…

    The Phantom

    ★★★★

    The Phantom is a delightful throwback to the adventure serials of yesteryear, brimming with old-school charm and a sense of fun that’s often absent in today’s polished blockbusters. From its swashbuckling hero to its pulpy villains, the film captures the spirit of classic matinee adventures, making it a nostalgic treat for anyone craving pure escapism. Yet, despite its many virtues, this movie remains underrated, overlooked at the time of its release—perhaps overshadowed by bigger-budget fodder—but it’s a hidden gem that…

    An American Werewolf in London

    ★★★★★

    John Landis' horror comedy is probably the best werewolf movie ever made with a fantastic transformation sequence that still holds up to this day it looks and feels painful, a true landmark moment. A true classic of the genre.
