The Brutalist 2024
“It’s not the journey, it’s the destination”
This film has been on my radar since its announcement, and today I finally had the chance to see "The Brutalist" in theaters. It is a masterful film that’s hard to describe; for me, it evokes a sense of grandeur similar to "Game of Thrones," not in terms of story or setting, but in its overall scale. From the beginning, I was struck by how grand the film feels. The filming and editing…

Twin Peaks: The Return 2017
Rest in peace to one of the greatest minds in film. David Lynch passed away today, and it’s truly sad because not only was he my favorite director, but he was also the one who sparked my interest in film. I am still new to his work, but wow, some of his movies have changed the way I view cinema. "Mulholland Drive" is my favorite film of all time, and I can’t believe the mastermind behind it has been taken…

Isle of Dogs 2018
I honestly think this is one of Wes Anderson‘s most underrated films. The writing is superb and the animation/cinematography is artistic and very catching to the eye. Super relaxing/comforting watch!

Coach Carter 2005
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Watchmen 2009
My favourite comic book adaptation, and one of the best comic stories oat
"Watchmen" (2009), directed by Zack Snyder, is a visually stunning adaptation of Alan Moore's iconic graphic novel.
Set in an alternate 1985, it explores complex themes of morality, power, and the nature of heroism through a diverse cast of anti-heroes.
While the film captures the graphic novel's gritty aesthetic and philosophical depth, some viewers may find its pacing uneven and its narrative dense, I have never had…Translated from by -
There Will Be Blood 2007
"I'm not a false prophet, you sniveling boy! I am the Third Revelation!"
I cannot believe it took me this long to finally watch this masterpiece. I now understand why so many people regard it as one of the greatest films ever made, from its masterful acting to its intricate storytelling layered with depth and symbolism, all complemented by the brilliant cinematography and direction of the one and only Paul Thomas Anderson. Daniel Day-Lewis's performance is honestly indescribable, it’s easily…
