    O Brother, Where Art Thou?

    ★★★★

The way the urban samurai is portrayed, the honour code one must uphold, the beautiful quotes woven throughout, it all comes together with RZA’s soundtrack. This is a film that touches your soul. This is cinema. It’s not about when you watch it, it’s about when it hits you.

    ★★★★★

    It's been a while. Jim Jarmusch's Mystery Train (1989) captures an Americana, run-down atmosphere that truly feels like Memphis on a hot summer evening. Thirty-degree weather with a crisp wind. I felt that. If Pulp Fiction and Paris, Texas were fused into one film and then split into three stories, each so similar yet so different, this would be the result. Despite their similarities, these stories prove that even within the same environment, we all experience life in such different…
