(I really haven’t had much time for myself in terms of watching films. I’ve found myself fairly busy with my family and making sure to help them with stuff over the past few months. But ever since hearing about one of my favorite filmmakers coming back to the big screen this year. With a film that was not only a passion project but also shot in one of the most special formats ever; you bet your ass that after missing…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023
We’ll all fly away together.
One last time.
Into the forever & beautiful sky.Damn James Gunn, you don’t have to hurt a homie like that.
(Also, bravo to my Cinemark XD theater to showing the IMAX sequences on the screen.)

John Wick: Chapter 4 2023
Those who cling to death; live.
Those who cling to life; die.This movie is definitely gonna be my new for the next couple of months.
Oh yeah, Caine and Mr. Nobody spinoff stuff when?
(PS, Chad Stahelski I fully put all faith in your Ghost of Tsushima movie.) -
Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
(Been meaning to catch up on a lot of films from 2022 for a bit & I'm happy I decided to make this the first out of most of them.)
So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.
I heard so much about this film and how much of a unique experience it was for many. That doesn’t surprise me…

Avatar: The Way of Water 2022
His name is James Cameron.
The bravest pioneer.
No budget to steep, no sea to deep.
Who’s that?
It’s him!
James Cameron!Yep, that was definitely something else. Almost unreal to how this film looked half of the time. Absolutely stunning in every sort of way and I cannot wait for what’s next.
James Cameron, explorer of the sea.
With a dying thirst, to be the first.
Could it be? Yeah it’s him!
James Cameron! -

The Polar Express 2004
At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.
Yeah this film definitely has flaws and there may be a lot of animation aspects that may have aged poorly for some. But damn it, every…

The Devil's Backbone 2001
What is a ghost?
A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again?
An instant of pain, perhaps.
Something dead which still seems to be alive.
An emotion suspended in time.
Like a blurred photograph.
Like an insect trapped in amber.
A ghost.
That is what I am.
Leave it to a master like GDT to mix elements of a ghost story, a coming of age story, & a war story just perfectly in one movie. Just an absolutely hauntingly beautiful film. -
The Thing 1982
It isn’t Bennings.
Damn, been awhile since seeing this classic and pretty happy I decided to revisit during the Halloween season.
What an absolute kino horror film. Almost everything about this film. From Carpenter’s chilling and atmospheric direction, Morricone’s phenomenal haunting score, Cundey’s tight and claustrophobic camerawork, & of course Bottin’s iconic practical effects bringing these horrifying creatures to light.
With everyone in the cast giving amazing performances as you feel the suspense and paranoia drip in from each of the… -

12 Angry Men 1957
It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is. I don't suppose anybody will ever really know. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we're just gambling on probabilities - we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don't know. Nobody really can.…
