All of my movie reviews…
Oh boy… Where to start with this one. Don’t Look Up is one of the most talked-about films of last year for many reasons. Everything from the star-studded cast (I knew about the main players, but seeing names like Ariana Grande or Timothée Chalamet pop up in the opening credits surprised me) to the story and mainly how the film goes…

The Batman. One of the most universally known superheroes of all time is back (yet again), and this time, it’s Robert Pattinson‘s time to shine as the caped crusader. No, I won’t make some variation of “hey, that’s Edward from the Twilight films, he’s done well for himself”. Simply because if you followed his career since that abomination, I…

You don’t put on a movie titled Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and expect anything remotely resembling a masterpiece; let’s get that straight. At least that’s what I did one evening, when I wanted some “mindless” fun, and I remembered seeing trailers for this film and thinking it looked ridiculous enough to be entertaining. So I stumbled upon…

After the pleasant surprise that was A Quiet Place (2018, my review here), I remember thinking – does this film need a sequel? And before we go any further, there is a difference between “does it need a sequel” and “can I imagine more films from this world” because the answer to me differs. Sure, a post-apocalyptic world,…

After the success of The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020, my review here), Aaron Sorkin seems to have caught the directing bug. And since he loves his scripts, old Hollywood and the words he puts on the paper, there was no better subject for him to make a film about than the backstage of I Love Lucy (1951 – 1957), still…
My Life as a Courgette (or Zucchini if you live in other countries) is a film I’ve heard many great things about. So my expectations were set pretty high from the start. And one day, it finally arrived on one of the streaming services I am paying for (thanks, Mubi), and I immediately put it on and hoped for…

Like everyone, I remember when this movie came out. And based on nothing but posters and maybe one trailer, I’ve pre-judged it. And when it got an Oscar nomination, I was also making dumb jokes about it, even though I had not seen it. “But why would you need to see it? It’s about a…

This movie… I don’t get it. The story is a pretty ordinary “I need to live my own life” coming of age tale; the path this movie takes is also predictable (her singing clashing with her family “responsibilities”), and that becomes a significant plot point later. The only difference is the CODA stuff (Child of…
