I am not going to lie; this was the biggest surprise of the 96th Academy Awards for me, as I hadn’t heard much aboutĀ NyadĀ before this at all. And when I say at all, I mean I wasn’t aware of Diana Nyad either. This meant I was the perfect audience for this movie, given my lack…

This movie is one of those rare ones that only received one Oscar nomination. Usually, Oscar nominations are like disasters and come in (at least) two or three, but not in this case. And after watchingĀ Rustin,Ā I concur that The Academy got it right in this instance.Ā Colman DomingoĀ shines and leads this film from mediocrity into “it’s…

I will be the first to admit that there are some directors I still struggle to appreciate fully, andĀ Alexander PayneĀ would be on that list. Let me be clear; I don’t think his movies are bad, but out of the three I have seen beforeĀ The HoldoversĀ (ElectionĀ (1999),Ā The DescendantsĀ (2011) andĀ DownsizingĀ (2017)) I almost loved the first one and liked…

There are some directors who are so out there that you know they will never be able to make a “normal” film, whatever that word means to you. I always say we should be grateful for them as those are usually the ones who can challenge us the most or introduce us to new ideas…

When I first watched a trailer for this movie, I thought I knew what I was in for. We have a boy, we have a heron, and it’s all going to be about this boy’s journey to deal with his mom’s death (I don’t think that’s a spoiler, given all the trailers and even the…

AfterĀ Baz LuhrmannĀ tried to wow us withĀ ElvisĀ (2022, my reviewĀ here), here comes one of my favourite directors,Ā Sofia Coppola, with her counterpart, focusing on the experience of this young (very, inappropriately young) girl who falls in love with him. And who else could portray a section of her life that must have been so isolated, strange and lonely…

If you read my review for the previous gem of this franchise (I won’t even bother to name the film; my review can be found here), you know I was not a fan, to say it mildly. But I have heard that Fast X has improved slightly and have also heard wild tales of Jason Momoa‘s acting performance, so…

Zack SnyderĀ and I have had one heck of a relationship. I would still consider myself a fan despite his last couple of movies and having many issues with the current “version” of Snyder. I can still go back and enjoy his earlier films likeĀ 300Ā (2006, my reviewĀ here), which would still unironically be in my TOP 15/20…
