Captivatingly Stark Contrasts: Rudimentary satisfaction battles complex mental instability. Turmoil unfolds in slow motion, trapping your gaze, similar to a roach in a sticky trap. Desolation and depression are well represented and reflected in empty, gray landscapes. Light-hearted characters and wry comedy bring a deep beauty to these dark places.

Nacho Libre
It might be the most artful comedy ever. This movie has everything: a luchador-friar-cook, secret tunnels, the best corn in the city, cinema's greatest training montage, and stretchy pants! From the "recreation clothes" to the "Lord's chips," this movie is "the best!" Plus, it's (loosely!) based on a true story.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The Tainted Cup
The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett I made this entire series to write this review. The 2024 Hugo Winner is a Holmes and Watson style whodunnit taking place in a fantasy world that blends Area X from the Southern Reach Trilogy and The Lost World–more on the setting later.
