Incredibly funny. Jack Lemmon is a fantastic actor with impeccable comedic timing, and he remains one of the greatest actors of all time—his name still resonates in modern discussions. The dialogue is fantastically witty, and the cinematography holds up remarkably well for its time. Many lines are so quotable that they linger in your mindContinueContinue reading “The Apartment (1960) Film Review”

12 Angry Men (1957) Film Review
Wow. What a cinematic experience. For a very simple plot, we heard perfect dialogue. Twelve actors were given 90 minutes to showcase their acting chops, and they showed us perfect acting. With the limited and confined setting, we were gifted with perfect cinematography. A movie that defies its age in every aspect. It’s one ofContinueContinue reading “12 Angry Men (1957) 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”
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”
Sea of Love (1989) Film Review
Oh God, this had me grinning like a teenage girl. One of the best rom-coms (yes, I felt like it is one) I have ever watched, and I hate that it took me this long to find out about this. There are very few things I look for in films. 2 of them are: wellContinueContinue reading “Sea of Love (1989) Film Review”
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”
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”
