    Se7en

    ★★★★½

    “what i've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed... forever.”

    Se7en is the kind of movie that stays with you long after it ends. its dark and shocking story is meticulously crafted, with gritty visuals and relentless tension that immerse you in a world both unnervingly real and deeply unsettling.

    the script is brilliantly written—original, thought-provoking, and free from the tired clichés of crime thrillers. it masterfully intertwines themes of morality, sin, and justice, delivering a…

    Arcane: Bridging the Rift

    ★★★★★

    “there is no prize to perfection, only an end to pursuit.”

    Arcane is a masterpiece — a show that takes the sprawling lore of League of Legends and transforms it into something truly spectacular and far beyond the chaos of its actual gameplay. as someone who has spent more time than i care to admit dealing with Riot’s questionable decisions, i can say that Arcane is one of the best things to come out of Riot in a very long…

    Jurassic Park III

    ★★★

    “some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions.”

    Jurassic Park III does a better job of feeling like a direct sequel to the original than The Lost World did. it’s quicker, more streamlined, and doesn’t drag its feet as much. that being said, it still doesn’t come close to the magic of the first film. while it’s certainly an improvement over The Lost World, it still doesn’t do much to elevate the franchise.

    The Lost World: Jurassic Park

    ★★

    “don't worry, i'm not making the same mistakes again”
    “no, you're making all new ones”

    the second film was just not it for me. the writing is rough—flat characters, awkward dialogue, and a plot that relies entirely on people running from one place to another with no real momentum. it lacks the tension and wonder that made the original so captivating, instead feeling like a rushed attempt to recapture the magic without understanding what made it work in the first…

    ★★★★★

    “if there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained.”

    Jurassic Park isn’t just a movie—it’s a cinematic landmark and one of Spielberg’s greatest gifts to the world. there’s honestly nothing that i don’t love about this film—from the eerie cricket-filled opening to the triumphant roar of the t.rex in the final moments, every frame is crafted with precision and purpose. it’s a film that doesn’t just entertain—it pulls you into…

    Creed III

    ★★½

    “the higher you get, the harder it gets.”

    for a movie meant to be the emotional high point of Adonis’ journey, it fell surprisingly flat. the pacing was all over the place—some scenes dragged, while others rushed through key moments without giving them time to breathe. it was predictable, and most of the emotional beats felt shallow, like they were tossed in just to check a box. and after all that buildup, the final fight didn’t land the way it…
