May December 2023
Saw this at the cinema earlier in the month, definitely one of my favorites of the year. So deftly handled which is kind of a miracle considering its subject matter. Incredible performances from all leads but Melton in particular is so devastating. Funny and uncomfortable but also empathetic when it needed to be. A script like this landed in the perfect hands to be honest and Portman chose Haynes perfectly as the person to handle it.

Godzilla Minus One 2023
‘Godzilla Minus One’ is not merely a kaiju film; it's a cinematic journey that transcends the genre. Probably my second favorite after ‘Shin Godzilla’. With its captivating story, stellar performances, breathtaking visuals, and a perfect blend of action and emotion, this film stands as a true gem in the franchise. A cinematic triumph, ‘Godzilla Minus One’ deserves every bit of praise, making it a must-watch, especially on the biggest screen possible. If you can see it in IMAX, I highly recommend.

It combines both of these storytelling styles extremely well, and ends up making his most "complete" work in my opinion. Pacing is a little slow at the start, but provides an…

Napoleon 2023
Grandiose, Messy, muddled, historic dramatization with terrific cinematography and production design.

Although it's surprising valleys, the film has its fair share of peaks. A stellar performance by the entire cast. The history is slightly modified for dramatic purposes, and Joaquin Phoenix is very dramatic. He as usual delivers a…

Blonde 2022
I’d be lying to you if I said that the production design, cinematography and performance from Ana de Armas were terrible, because they aren’t whatsoever, but it’s hard to appreciate these things when what you are watching on screen is repulsive.
What could've been an exploration of exploitation and an intimate look at Marilyn Monroe's life behind the fame, it chooses to further exploit the actress and positions itself more like distasteful porn. It should’ve been a biopic.
