    “My friends, you bow to no-one” ⭐️

    Extended Cut 

    A perfect movie, all 240+ minutes of it. Even then I could definitely of watched more if there was any. It has it all, amazing characters with incredible story and character development mixed with the stunning visuals, magical world building and beautifully looked after vfx shots. The battles are simply awe-inspiring. Jackson directs them such that you are always aware of the scale but you are focused in on the main…

    Extended Cut 


    As the midway-chapter, both of a trilogy and the second long act of a behemoth epic movie; The Two Towers has its cracks: it has a lot to establish and introduce while tying with what's to come and what came. And if you take the fact that the extended editions are the superior (and definitive!) versions of these films, is the one that drags way too often,…

    'Til Death Do Us Part

    ★★½

    While the concept of escaping an abusive relationship is relevant, the execution falls flat. The characters lack depth, and the plot becomes predictable and formulaic. Anyways this was a decent thriller. It felt like a lifetime movie it’s watchable.

    The Electric State

    ★★

    "obviously, i have no issue with technology as long as humanity retains control." 👎🏼

    The Electric State is a blah sci-fi movie full of big half-assed ideas you've seen a bunch of times before. It could have been decent if they had put in more effort and taken anything seriously. Instead it screws around indifferently and ends two hour later without ever mattering to anyone or anything. Even Chris Pratt couldn’t save the movie for me. He was the only…

    “𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲” 🏆

    Props to the directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who did a great job carrying over the feel of Wes Craven’s films. The performances were all perfect for the slasher genre. Melissa Barrera is perfect. Jenna Ortega was great. Jack Quaid was super contagious with his energy. The score, the camerawork, the style all around was amazing. I specifically loved all the dutch angles and the dolly zoom. Just perfect. I LOVED the new cast,…

    "I would have followed you, my brother..." ⭐️

    Extended Edition

    The breathtaking visuals, captivating storytelling, and stellar performances bring Tolkien's world to life. The film expertly introduces the rich lore and diverse characters of Middle-earth, with standout performances by Ian McKellen as Gandalf and Elijah Wood as Frodo. The extended cut of The Fellowship of the Ring is 3 hours and 43 minutes. That time just flies by . It has its slow parts -- the lovingly long introduction to…
