A film for adults—not because of its maturity, but because the layered story might be challenging to follow at first. If you stick with it, though, you’re in for a real treat. It’s a very easy film to understand, provided you let yourself be entertained by it—and it’s hard not to. I love movies withContinueContinue reading “L. A. Confidential (1997) Film Review”

Carlito’s Way (1993) Film Review
The soundtrack in this film is one of the most beautifully curated in film history. Every song is perfect and placed at the right moment. From beginning to end, the soundtrack acts as a character in its own right. Al Pacino is flawless, as always. His final narration is serenely peaceful, carrying the emotional weightContinueContinue reading “Carlito’s Way (1993) Film Review”
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) Film Review
A claustrophobic film—not because of its confined setting, but because of the suffocating tension between the characters. Six top-notch actors deliver razor-sharp dialogue with powerhouse performances. You can’t single out any one actor here; everyone is stellar. Pacino, Lemmon, Baldwin, Arkin, Harris, Spacey—heck, even Pryce—all shine. While the plot might seem shallow on paper, theContinueContinue reading “Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) Film Review”
My Cousin Vinny (1992) Film Review
What a treat of a movie this is. I loved every single scene. Joe Pesci is an effective comedic actor because he knows his capacity and knows how to balance it. He knows his limitations and stays within it. Imagine an actor revered for both Goodfellas and this film. Two different films, but with aContinueContinue reading “My Cousin Vinny (1992) Film Review”
Insomnia (2002) Film Review
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”
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”
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”
