    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 World Dominion

    “the idea that life on earth existed 65 million years ago... it's humbling. we act like we're alone here but we're not. we're part of a fragile system made up of all living things. if we're going to survive, we'll have to trust each other, depend on each other, coexist.”

    nope. just, nope. this movie was not it. the pacing was a disaster, the writing was atrocious, and the whole thing felt like a bloated, directionless mess.

    there’s a reason…

    Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

    ★★½

    “how many times do you have to see the evidence? how many times must the point be made? we're causing our own extinction.” 

    this film was a mixed bag for me. there were way too many dumb decisions, some painfully cringe acting, and moments that made me wonder if anyone in this universe had even a shred of common sense. but at the same time, i can’t deny that i was still somewhat entertained ⁽ᵃᵗ ˡᵉᵃˢᵗ ᵐᵒʳᵉ ᵗʰᵃⁿ ᵀʰᵉ ᴸᵒˢᵗ…

    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 plot…

    Jurassic Park

    ★★★★★

    “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…
