F1: Speed, Spirit, and the Drive to Redemption

As someone who genuinely enjoys sports dramas—especially underdog stories about characters closer to my age—I found F1 not just entertaining, but surprisingly resonant. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), this high-speed, high-stakes racing film may follow familiar narrative roads, but it does so with such style, energy, and heart that it’s easy to overlook… Continue reading F1: Speed, Spirit, and the Drive to Redemption

Movie Review: F1: THE MOVIE Is An Audio-Visual Experience That Has A Familiar Story

Now, my headline may imply that I didn’t enjoy this movie, but that’s not the case. I enjoyed this film. I feel that the writing involved is familiar and redundant. That said, director Joseph Kosinski and his crew deliver a summer sports flick that has plenty of great cinematography, superb sound, and charismatic characters who… Continue reading Movie Review: F1: THE MOVIE Is An Audio-Visual Experience That Has A Familiar Story

Movie Review: M3GAN 2.0

When I saw the opening scene of M3GAN 2.0, the sequel to the 2022 American science fiction horror film M3GAN, I almost thought I was in the wrong theater.

Hay una sinopsis muy simple de una frase para la película.

El protagonista es Brad Pitt, como ya sabrás por el tráiler de la película y otras… Continue reading Crítica de película: F1: The Movie – Coches calientes, pilotos y propietarios – ¡Oh sí!

I thought this film would be ridiculous, but since I genuinely laughed… Continue reading Movie Review: BRIDE HARD

Pins & Needles: an intense, claustrophobic thriller

Pins & Needles Pins & Needles is an intense, claustrophobic thriller that caught me off guard in the best way. Directed and written by James Villeneuve in his feature debut, the film delivers a taut blend of suspense, survival, and horror with a unique premise that sets it apart from more conventional thrillers.

Movie Review: ELIO Is Not Disney/Pixar’s Savior, But Is A Step In The Right Direction

Disney/Pixar has not had a big winning movie in recent years. It has been a while since the label released an all-time outstanding film. While the studio could benefit from a win, it doesn’t help that the film’s promotion has been so limited. So, while Elio will not completely revitalize the Disney/Pixar name, it at… Continue reading Movie Review: ELIO Is Not Disney/Pixar’s Savior, But Is A Step In The Right Direction
