    The Beach

    ★★★

    The Beach is a tropical adventure gone wrong. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a backpacker searching for paradise, but he finds more than he bargained for when he discovers a hidden community. It's a visually stunning film with a dark undercurrent that explores the dangers of isolation and the allure of the unknown.

    A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

    ★★★★

    Biopics? Not usually my thing. I mean, most of the time they’re like those overcooked documentaries with too much salt—y’know, just a bit too much, and it kills the whole thing. They often feel forced or overly sentimental. But this one… guys, this one got me, and I was like, “Whoa, alright, maybe this is worth the popcorn calories after all!”

    Chinatown

    ★★★★★

    Jack Nicholson goes full noir detective, uncovering a tangled web of deceit, dames, and family secrets that'll leave you saying "Forget it, Jake, it's Hollywood" (but in a good way!). Think "The Maltese Falcon" meets California sunshine (with a dark underbelly), with a shocking twist ending that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew.

    The Night Listener

    ★★★

    Robin Williams plays a lonely insomniac host who gets drawn into a web of mystery after a teenager writes in with a story of childhood abuse – but is it all a hoax, or something more sinister? Hold on tight for a slow-burn psychological thriller with more twists than a tangled phone cord, and a reminder that sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones we can't see.
