Babylon 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Babylon - The rise and fall of Hollywood and its stars.
An everlasting circle repeating itself throughout the decades.
An ode to the early days of Hollywood, Damien Chazelle's eye-catching "Babylon" showcases the course of three lives connected throughout the industry as well as their unavoidable downfall.
All of its sparkly glamour and opposites are set in context to cinema history as well as the changes the industry went through.
In the process the movie changes from comedy to drama…Translated from by -
The Banshees of Inisherin 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Adjustment: The Banshee of Inisherin
(it is just one and she is not really good at it).
Pádraic Súilleabháin v Colm Doherty: Civil War
It is as simple as it gets, yet nothing in this conflict is simple.
It is the year 1923 on the idyllic fictional Irish isle of Inisherin. Bombs going off on the mainland across the water, but no one really cares. It is the irish mainland after all.
Pádraic's lifelong friend and drinking companion Colm Doherty…Translated from by

The Lord of the Rings 1978
Those images are just weird looking storyboards for the actual Lord of the Rings movies in the early 2000's...
It could have been decent enough if it weren't for a few creative choices with derailing consequences.
Like the badly executed pacing, the really compressed story for its runtime and the uncanny rotoscoping aspects and effects in general.
Nonetheless, there are some similarities and influences in specific scenes that can't be overseen in later installments, so it kinda works as an inspirational source.Translated from by -
Possession 1981
An expressionistic, bizarre and surreal tour de force à la David Lynch, embedded in a german setting (pre fall of the Berlin Wall), with raw, unsettling and memorable performances of both Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani pondering around visceral, unclassifiable exploration of love and divorce (amongst other themes and genre mix-ups in general), which plays like an actual tonal shifting fever dream.
A puzzling and challenging experience instead of a straight-forward film, with maybe too many themes and meanings squeezed in that it becomes convoluted at the end of the day. Unique and sometimes confusing nonetheless.Translated from by

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Yes, the movie ends rather abrupt and stops without a big showdown to instead settle up another movie, but at this level of quality I'm not worried at all for the third and final installment.
That being said: this movie is the perfect sequel. It fulfills all the necessary requirements.
Not only is everything bigger and more connected on multiple levels, the journey the different characters go through is further developed and the animation feels as vibrant as ever, thanks…Translated from by -
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi 2022
Yaddle speaks normally in this, which means Yoda is just a goofy little Goblin talking in riddles for his own amusement.
