A great detective film from start to finish. As usual per Nolan, he knows a story as complex as this was something everyone has to experience, and he made the experience enjoyable. I do wish he did more of this, he was good at it. Nowadays, he focuses more on big films, with big budget,ContinueContinue reading “Insomnia (2002) Film Review”

Kiss the Girls (1997) Film Review
Very 90’s approach to a detective crime noir drama. Morgan Freeman did his best. Its not him. Its the overall story. The side characters weren’t convincing, in fact, they were corny. Very 90’s. Not a bad casual watch though, but easily could’ve been a 90 minute flick. 2.5 out of 5
a cinephile
a person who is fond of the cinema. A status that no one is given, but earned. No one may have labeled me as such, but ever since I was young, I have always watched films. Phanton Town, Honey, We Shrunk the Kids, Rush Hour, Blue Streak; just some of the films I watched asContinueContinue reading “a cinephile”
Heat (1995) Film Review
Amazing film. Amazing. Amazing. From start to finish. Pacino and De Niro masterclass. One of, if not the best crime thrillers in history. Ages well. Michael Mann handled both legendary actors well, while also letting them lose, because that’s just what they do. All you can do is capture it, and that he did, andContinueContinue reading “Heat (1995) Film Review”
The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Film Review
The story wouldn’t have such a cultural impact if it wasn’t for Anthony Hopkins. He worked his minutes like he was behind rent. Chilling acting using his eyes and his eerie voice. Without a doubt, the best performance of that year. No wonder he won the Oscar. Jodie Foster also carried her own weight. ItsContinueContinue reading “The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Film Review”
To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) Film Review
Maybe I’m too young, but I thought it was sloppy. My fault for expecting Scorsese or Coppola to direct every single movie prior to the 90’s. But in terms of nostalgia, this really felt great. I love watching good actors that aren’t versatile enough (except for Dafoe and Turturro of course) to have a greatContinueContinue reading “To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) Film Review”
Django Unchained (2012) Film Review
Simply the best modern western movie. Quentin’s love for the genre gave birth to an instant, timeless classic, both the movie and the characters. His ability to create long drawn conversation that justifies every single word is phenomenal. No one does tension build-up like him, and this movie is just one of the many examples.ContinueContinue reading “Django Unchained (2012) Film Review”
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019) Film Review
I get the disappointment of Tarantino fans about this one. It’s not very old school Tarantino (except of course the last part). But this one has a certain charm to it. The best I can describe it is it’s a ‘vibe film’. A film where you don’t have to overthink, put the pieces together, interpretContinueContinue reading “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019) Film Review”
A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014 Film Review
This is my jam. Gritty, dark, twisted detective noir. Engaging story with the right amount of intrigue to reel you in. A bit of a slow burn but thanks to the cast, it made it worth while. Cinematography wasn’t perfect, but it still looked gorgeous.Liam Neeson’s mid-sized budget films are a thing of beauty. ThisContinueContinue reading “A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014 Film Review”
The Substance (2024) Film Review
This is a perfect film Too many things to praise, so I’ll narrow down the best parts. The plot is simple and the progression solidified the complexity of its simplicity. The cinematography is gorgeous and did not try to be pretentious. Every camera shake, angle, and wide shots were justified, and all of them fittedContinueContinue reading “The Substance (2024) Film Review”
