  Emilia Pérez 2024

  ★ Watched 20 Jan 2025

  Never mind the borderline racist and stereotypical scenery/plot devices used here—this is a downright affront to the Mexican community and Latinos in general, with Spanish straight-up from Google Translate, songs that make no sense, and lines so out of touch with the language (“me duele la pinche vulva”) that it makes it almost seem like AI regurgitated every failed concept of Mexican culture from white colonizers and dumped it into a screenplay. 

  This film should have NEVER been in contention…

  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 20 Jan 2025

  Perfectly shot and acted. A masterclass of tension and cinematography with a score that accentuates every scene transition.

  ★★★★½ Watched 13 Jan 2023

  One of the best depictions of alcoholism I’ve seen on film. Andrea Riseborough should claim a spot for an Oscar nomination.

  Godzilla Minus One 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 02 Dec 2023

  Godzilla Minus One is not only one of the best, if not the best monster/disaster film in the past 20 years, but would be a poetic contender for a Best Picture nomination. What a script. What a score! Did not expect to be moved to tears so many times throughout. Extraordinary! 

  Cinema at its purest!
