    We're here to become human again, to put on nice clothes and dance around and enjoy the things that is not in our reality" - Sean Johnson

    Poetry

    What is art? I don't know nothing about playing dress up and dancing around like a fool, I grew up in the streets; hustling instead of going to school. Locked up, locked up by a system that's unfair, locked up by people in power that wanna keep me here, locked up with…

    "But even if you think you know someone well, even if you love that person deeply, you can't completely look into that person's heart. You'll just feel hurt" - Takatsuki

    A complex film about survivor's guilt, finding closure, and understanding the importance of loving someone truly despite the darkness and secrets kept underneath. The story is rich in emotion and emptiness from its characters that the actors convey a genuine sense of grief and sorrow. Every shot is pristine and fills the runtime with an addiction to never look away. From start to end, this is a modern masterpiece of filmmaking.

    "Well, yeah, of course. Money's like fucking heroin for boring people" - Benji Kaplan

    A very compelling and deep journey across Poland as two cousins embark on an emotional tour expedition. Both Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg are phenomenal as they contrast each other's characters so well. Benji being open minded and speaks his feelings out loud and once he says what he has to say, he completely forgets the words that shot very powerfully out of his mouth. David…

    "So those are definitely third degree burns, so you wanna run them under some cool water" - Nathan Caine

    Having your main character have the condition of not being able to feel pain and orienting the story to be an action one, leads to a pretty creative choice. Fun and creative ways for a character that isn't a fighter but is able to use his condition in ways to gain the upper hand was quite entertaining; however the trailer exposes…

    "We're all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride" - Tim

    A rather unique way of utilizing time travel in a movie, not necessarily about getting a girl to love you but more so about cherishing each day with them and being present and in the moment. That's the philosophy of the story as it's a deep and introspective look into learning how to live…

    "Can you find the wolves in this picture" - Ernest Burkhart

    Just sensational, this is the type of picture Marty wanted to direct his whole career so it's bittersweet that it came at the end of the road. This man needs to be preserved because he's one of the handful of directors that can actually tell a damn story and portray it a certain way. The way everyone came together and gave damn near Oscar worthy performances across the call…
