I’m Still Here (2010) Review: Joaquin Phoenix’s Boldest, Strangest Role Yet
A Wild, Blurred Line Between Reality and Performance In 2010, actor Joaquin Phoenix shocked the world with I'm Still Here, a raw, confusing, and at times uncomfortable documentary-style film that chronicles his supposed retirement from acting to pursue a career in hip-hop. Directed by Casey Affleck, the film plays like a psychological experiment—a piece of performance art disguised as a documentary that leaves the viewer constantly questioning what is real and what is a hoax.

The Accountant 2 Review: Family Ties and Firefights Reignite the Franchise
"Family, Firepower, and Fractions of Redemption" A decade after his shadowy debut, Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck)—the autistic math savant with a moral code and military-grade combat skills—returns in The Accountant 2, this time teaming up with his estranged brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) to unravel a human trafficking network. Gone are the solo spreadsheets and cryptic clues. Instead, director Gavin O’Connor delivers a sequel that leans hard into bruised brotherhood, bloodied knuckles, and a surprisingly timely critique of systemic exploitation.

Enough with the Remakes!!!
I’m just going to be blunt: Can we please STOP!!! making remakes of the animation classics? I’m not just talking about Disney. I’m also talking about DreamWorks. I’m giving you my opinion because, as of now, not only are the film scripts a bit off, but there are a few things that are absolutely (in a figure of speech) throwing a wrench into making a live-action movie. Honestly, what the hell happened!?
