If you were to ask me five years ago: “Which Asian director would be the first to win the ‘Best Director’ Oscar?” I would have replied Park Chan-wook, no competition. His body of work is varied, and even if some of his films don’t land with me 100% of the time (like Thirst (2009, my review here), which is…

If there is a theme to Rian Johnson‘s directorial career, it might be best described using the word “subversive”. Every time you think he will do “A”, Rian does “F”; that’s how subversive he is. And Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery only cements it further into his legacy. No matter what you were expecting after Knives Out (2019, my…

From the animation style to keeping the same story but setting it into new beats, this version of Pinocchio (also known as Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, but I will…

I am not going to lie; this movie got lost in the shuffle for me. So when I learned it was coming out, I was shocked since I had heard nothing about it. A new film by David O. Russell (whose popularity, respectively popularity of his movies, I will never understand no matter how hard I try)…

I remember the first time I watched a trailer for The Lost City, and that was all it took to hook me in. I like self-aware adventure films; I like Sandra Bullock (not only is she hilarious, she ages better than a fine wine in a French monastery), and Daniel Radcliffe‘s choices continue to surprise me. Plus, since watching both Jump…

I went into this movie blind, not knowing anything about it. And when I learned it’s a fantasy story, I hoped I would end up loving it because it’s been a while since we got a truly great fantasy film. And the story got me hyped, I thought there were elements of something magical (even…
