Nacho Libre
I am I am... a Real Religious Fan
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.

Banshees of Inisherin
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.

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."

Mistakes in Stranger Things - Season 5
Stranger Things 5: A Train Wreck of Lazy Writing and Brand Blunders When Stranger Things first dropped in 2016, it was a masterpiece of atmosphere and tight storytelling. It felt like a love letter to the 80s. Fast forward to Season 5, and that love letter has been shredded. What we got instead was a bloated, nonsensical mess that felt like the creators were just checking boxes to get it over with. It wasn't just a disappointment; it was a total collapse of the logic and stakes that made us care about Hawkins in the first place.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

Great critique!
Omg I love the use of chips as the picture, great choice for a great film!
I've not seen this but now I have to! Excellent review!
I do remember the title. Nice review, it definitely makes me want to pull up the trailer to see what all the hype was about.
Heheh I use to love this one too! A great and funny critique! I prefer Napoleon Dynamite a little more though. Glad to see this film up here though! 😁
