Guy Ritchie seems to just make films for the money, but this one is actually a more decent attempt. John Krasinski is charming — I don’t care what anybody says. He has limited range, but he nailed it here. Natalie Portman is versatile, and she was good in this, though I’m not sure why sheContinueContinue reading “Fountain of Youth (2025) Film Review”

The Peacemaker (1997) Film Review
By today’s standards, this action feels fearless. It wasn’t afraid to show what is now regarded as wrong, and that kind of boldness is exactly what’s needed to make action films feel like action films again. Yes, it’s corny. Yes, it’s absurd. But it’s a check-your-brain-at-the-door action film — you watch it for the sequences,ContinueContinue reading “The Peacemaker (1997) 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”
L. A. Confidential (1997) Film Review
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”
Ronin (1998) Film Review
One of the best car-chase sequences I’ve seen! While it might not be the best action film overall, it’s still a fun ride. The plot is thin, the dialogue is cheesy yet occasionally quotable, and the big picture is an action-packed, gloriously chaotic spectacle—the kind of nonsense that just works. 3 out of 5
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”
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”
