I have an almost love/hate relationship with this film. Because I absolutely loved it until it started to go up against itself with the story presentation. If you have seen the movie, you know we effectively see what I would call a stand-up routine, which is pretty much narration but dressed differently. And that is…

Let’s get one thing straight right from the get-go. The Suicide Squad is better than Suicide Squad (2016). It’s the “the” that makes all the difference, sometimes you need to drop it (looking at you, The Facebook), and sometimes you need to add it to distinguish itself from the pretty bad film. And, of course, the director James Gunn might have something…

Nightmare Alley might be the ultimate example of the power of Guillermo del Toro. I can’t think of a director who could make a movie like this, make it two and a half hours long and for the film to be a visual and storytelling feast, without any “boring” parts. Everything in this film is here because…

Movies like The Lost Daughter are the reason I love films. It might sound weird, especially when I am not fully “in love” with this film, but let me explain. The Lost Daughter is a challenging movie to sit through. There are literally no “good” characters/people. Everyone is flawed, and what’s more interesting than that, they all are aware…

Like many, I still remember when this remake was announced. Mainly because I remember thinking, why, Steven Spielberg? Why do you feel the need to remake West Side Story (1961)? Why “waste” your talent on this? Anyway, I hoped for the best, as always. And then, the first reviews started to come out, saying it’s decent…? Imagine my…

The Mitchells vs the Machines is one of those films I’ve heard plenty about, mainly how amazing it is. So when it got an Oscar nomination, that bumped it on my “to-watch” queue higher. And after finishing this film, I couldn’t be happier about that. Because this movie was everything I didn’t know I needed and…
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…

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…
