Movie

Hey Avatar, someone wants her story back
So you were the highest-selling movie of all time huh? I guess space + 3D = genius. Those fancy glasses of yours made people miss the real crime. Not mining Ubh-310, but taking what isn’t yours. How appropriate that it’s called Pandora.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane
Interesting 70s movie featuring a teenage Jodie Foster as Rynn Jacobs, the little girl of the movies title. The movie is both a testament to a better time, while being equally charming, romantic, devastating, and disturbing. Unexpected in its motives and topped of by an incredible score by Christian Gaubert.

Inception (Film)
Nolan intricately challenges traditional narrative boundaries. Against dream espionage, the storyline intertwines love, loss, and redemption. Its multi-layered plot, paired with cinematic visuals and an evocative soundtrack, beckons repeated viewings. Far more than just a heist narrative, it's an exploration into human consciousness, perception fragility, and the malleability of memory.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Rowling unveils an enchanting realm where magic and reality converge. Anchored by young Harry's transformative journey, the tale is saturated with lore, endearing characters, and ethical lessons. Beyond whimsical elements, the narrative emphasizes friendship's enduring power, valor, and the eternal battle between good and evil, resonating with readers across ages.

Ridley Scot's Alien
No one can hear you scream in the vacuum of space. Claustrophobia in the empty void. A perfect monster hiding in the shadows. Practical effects. Disturbing androids. Corporate dystopia.

Big Trouble in Little China Critique
Maybe didn't age the best. But Kurt Russel as confused side kick in a Hong Kong inspired action comedy from the mind behind The Thing!? Yes please!

Pulp Fiction
Shocking but fun with a sublime soundtrack. Overhyped, but stylish and quotable. Pulp Fiction, in hindsight, is not the masterpiece many thought it was. The inspiration for a million and one knockoffs. A career best for John Travolta, though not even close to being Tarantino's finest film. Watch Inglorious instead.

Kill Bill - Volume 1 (Critique)
I hated it the first time. Over the top, silly, too long, too violent, too muddled. But now? Each scene - no, each frame - gorgeously stylised, terrific badass protagonist, perfectly chosen soundtrack (seriously, spot-on), exquisite casting.

The Big Short
An absolute rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish; dread, hopelessness, defeat, excitement, hope ironically enough. The Big Short has it all. A fantastic, hilarious, tragic film that's able to simplify complex wall street vocabulary, into an easily digestible and understandable message about greed and corruption. Please, watch this film.

Midsommar
Midsommar is a semi-decent horror movie. It was one of the few movies that I've watched that scared me. Though I despise how folks think it's some girl-power movie. When it clearly isn't that. And makes me worry that folks can't see a cult when right in front of them.

Charlatan
When they get online, they look to see what they can find. Was their creativity ever there? Is it in decline? Writing isn’t hard. It comes with ease. It takes no more effort than to blow a breeze. Now we question all you’ve created. Was it yours, or just imitated?
