BARBIE is a wonderful film that far exceeded my tiny expectations. It truly lives up to the hype, and it richly deserves all its unprecedented success. The movie is a fairytale given a hard dose of reality. Still so beautifully bright and colorful. Surprised with how well it was written!!! I expected just a bubble gum comedy type of movie, but it definitely has some meat!!!

“Prometheus stole fire from the Gods and gave it to man. For this he was chained to a rock and tortured for eternity.”
Cillian Murphy’s contemplative depiction of morality, stress, power and revenge is expectedly overwhelming. OPPENHEIMER is a remarkable narrative to watch unfold and disintegrate and the intricate direction from Chris Nolan authenticates the time period and characters to create a truly immersive and thoroughly entertaining film that in…
“War don't ennoble men. It turns ʼem into dogs. Poisons the soul.”
With a contemplative anti-war approach and his particular intimate vision, Terrence Malick leaves his mark on the genre, questioning as never before the horrors of WWII and the evils it sows in man, in his soul, in his lands, in his habitat and in his being.
Loading the narrative with thoughts, memories, emotions, physical and philosophical encryptions; Malick's cinema is not made for you to see, but for…

Anyone who 'abandons the Dunson ship' is killed, when, if we remember, Dunson himself did the same thing at the beginning of the movie with the group he was a part of.

My second Gaspar Noé film and again I'm floored, despite the main theme of dancing, which I have nothing to do with. I really appreciate CLIMAX for its long introduction to the action. It takes a good 50 minutes before the fun really starts. On the way there we are treated to, among other things, wonderfully choreographed dance performances. The cinematography by Benoît Debie is also simply outstanding…
I've a love–hate relationship with writer-director Denis Villeneuve, as I'm fond of four of his films (Incendies, Prisoners, Enemy and Blade Runner 2049) and not really a fan of others (Arrival and Sicario), but at the end of the day, I appreciate any artist who's willing to take risks.
Dune: Part One, naturally, is nothing but build up. The climactic moment of the movie isn't really a climax because it's just the mid-point where the movie is still building up…
