Funny how this isn’t complete fiction. A satire well made that it makes you scared but calms you down at the same time. De Niro with his fedora, and Hoffman with his scarf controlled the story. When they smiled, we smile, and rarely did they ever not smile. When they’re inconvenienced, we rooted for them. TheyContinueContinue reading “Wag the Dog (1997) Film Review”

Joy (2015) Film Review
A remarkable true story, but the execution made it look so corny and cringy. Every supposed ‘cool and methodical’ scene Jennifer Lawrence has makes me think she was hyped up by the director that she was delivering the greatest performance of all-time. She did her best, but the editing, cinematography, and soundtrack just failed to back herContinueContinue reading “Joy (2015) Film Review”
Everybody’s Fine (2009) Film Review
Heartwarming and adorable. Robert de Niro is so versatile that he can go from a cold, heartless gangster, to an adorable grandpa you just want to hug and spend the afternoon with. Sam, Drew and Kate were also fantastic in this.Plot is nothing spectacular, but the film was great nonetheless. 4 out of 5
Analyze This (1999) Film Review
This wouldn’t be as funny as it was if you haven’t seen the essential mafia films. Having seen almost all of them, and most De Niro films, this was hilarious.Billy Crystal’s comedic timing is great in this, but De Niro really can’t help outshining his co-stars, because he was hilarious in this. He knows hisContinueContinue reading “Analyze This (1999) Film Review”
La La Land (2016) Film Review
I was so glad I saw this one when it came out. Instantly became one of my all-time favorites, but couldn’t watch it again ever since. A perfect film and a beautiful story of passion, love, and music. Perfect casting. Emma and Ryan’s chemistry is the best I’ve ever seen. From Crazy, Stupid, Love, to GangsterContinueContinue reading “La La Land (2016) Film Review”
Challengers (2024) Film Review
Listed as romance, but this is more than that. This is a movie about friendship, glory, pride, passion, and ultimately, contentment. Brilliant editing. Fantastic soundtrack. Excellent pacing. Good plot, and the three young stars carried it with their dialogues and delivery. One of the best closing act I’ve seen. Puts you right in the game and injectsContinueContinue reading “Challengers (2024) Film Review”
They Came Together (2014) Film Review
They’ve done a stupid parody in a great way. Laughed my ass off almost the entire time. From their over-the-top facial expressions, ridiculous slapstick, mockery of the rom-com meta, delivery of dialogues, everything. From the get-go, it made me laugh, like laugh laugh, not just chuckle or giggle at some jokes. The best parody film ofContinueContinue reading “They Came Together (2014) Film Review”
Flightplan (2005) Film Review
Intriguing plot and pace, but there’s just too many plot holes to make it a great film. Jodie Foster’s monologue was a thing of beauty, but for films like this one, the acting is not the primary driving force. You could have Pacino or Streep or Daniel Day in there, but if the twists doesn’tContinueContinue reading “Flightplan (2005) Film Review”
When Harry Met Sally (1989) Film Review
A romcom that stands the test of time. The dialogues are fantastic. Billy and Meg have impecable chemistry that you couldn’t help but fall in love with. The editing is great and adds emphasis to the humor. A classic, one that will have plenty more rewatch to those who have seen it, and those that areContinueContinue reading “When Harry Met Sally (1989) Film Review”
Bad Lieutenant (1992) Film Review
A poignant film of a spiraling man that cannot be redeemed.Fantastic dialogues. One of the best performances I’ve seen from an actor. Harvey Keitel puts himself into the darkness his character possesses.There was no relief as you watch. It’s not a film that you can watch if you’re not in stable mind and soul. ThisContinueContinue reading “Bad Lieutenant (1992) Film Review”
