The film’s presentation of life during a time of civil unrest is great. I felt like it didn’t take away from the balance of life during those times. Will Poulter found the perfect balance for his character. I admired his approach—it wasn’t an easy character to play. He maintained his appearance while ironically giving hisContinueContinue reading “Detroit (2017) Film Review”

Warfare (2025) Film Review
I liked it very much. The set is on point, and the sound—oh, the sound—it’s amazing. If the sound design team doesn’t win awards for this, it’s an automatic robbery. Not only does it sound good, but it also fit the scenes perfectly. I loved it. The cast was a bit awkward, though. Will PoulterContinueContinue reading “Warfare (2025) Film Review”
…And Justice for All (1979) Film Review
Clever dialogues. Superb acting. A very straightforward plot with no major twists, but one that builds into a blatant display of cynicism toward the justice system. The pacing in the first half was slow, but it gained momentum in the second and rolled relentlessly from there. Pacino, man—what can I say? A master actor. TheContinueContinue reading “…And Justice for All (1979) Film Review”
Blow Out (1981) Film Review
This movie looks fantastic—I loved the cinematography. It’s super underrated, and if it weren’t for Letterboxd, I never would’ve found this gem. The plot is solid from start to finish. They wrapped up all the important details perfectly by the end. John Travolta and Nancy Allen? Their chemistry is *chef’s kiss*—so good. And that ending?ContinueContinue reading “Blow Out (1981) Film Review”
Midnight Cowboy (1969) Film Review
This film has the best montage of reality-bending trauma I’ve ever seen. It fits perfectly with the overall jolly theme of Jon Voight’s character and Dustin Hoffman’s grim persona—two sides of the spectrum meeting halfway. It’s perfect. The dialogue is sharp, the acting by both leads is outstanding, and it’s a great buddy film thatContinueContinue reading “Midnight Cowboy (1969) Film Review”
Yes Man (2008) Film Review
Don’t watch this film expecting perfection, and I guarantee you’ll have a great time. This is a feel-good movie to turn to whenever you’re feeling down, as it’s fun, positive, and lighthearted from start to finish. Whenever I recommend fun, casual films, this is always on my list. It’s Jim Carrey being his goofy self—whatContinueContinue reading “Yes Man (2008) Film Review”
Honor Society (2022) Film Review
I watched it as a grown man expecting a corny adaptation of what high school is like today, but instead, I was presented with something familiar: a feel-good, funny film that doesn’t rely on age restrictions to be enjoyable. Angourie Rice shines in this type of role. She not only looks perpetually youthful but alsoContinueContinue reading “Honor Society (2022) Film Review”
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (2007) Film Review
A very stressful, slow-burn film—a dangerous combination for viewers, as relief is scarce. Throughout the film, I kept waiting for a redemption arc, even though I already knew there wouldn’t be one. It’s a deeply depressing story about the repercussions of one’s actions and their devastating culmination. Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of the greats,ContinueContinue reading “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (2007) Film Review”
Somewhere in Queens (2022) Film Review
Either you hate it, or you relate to it—and when you relate to it, you’ll love it. I loved it. It was a treat to watch. This film offered a perfect perspective on a solid, united family—not the typical portrayal of a loving one. In fact, the relationships seemed dysfunctional. But as you read betweenContinueContinue reading “Somewhere in Queens (2022) Film Review”
Wag the Dog (1997) Film Review
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”
