Movies I absolutely love, but I HATE watching
It's been quite a while since I've talked about movies hasn't it? You might be asking yourself now, "Dyllon, why don't you like watching movies that you like? That sounds completely contradictory.". Trust me I'm aware of how it sounds and it's not click bait either. I do love every single one of these films but every time they come on I just think to myself "Oh boy, strap in. It's (insert film here)". Again you'll understand once you start reading.

My Review of "Gran Turismo"
Gran Turismo is PlayStation's latest full feature movie to come out in 2023. This time it's a biopic based on the exploits of one of their successful experiments back in the day. I'm a big fan of the Gran Turismo game franchise so I had to check this one out to see what it was all about.

My Review of "Flaming Hot"
Flaming Hot is a direct to streaming biopic that came out in 2023. I've heard about the story of Richard Montañez but I didn't know they made a movie out of it. Come to think of it, his story totally makes sense for a movie. It's so out there that people won't believe it's true.

“Heart of Stone” & Alia Bhatt: The Misplaced Bollywood Gem
There’s a fine art to casting. It's about placing the right actor in the right role, setting the stage for magic to unfold. When the announcement broke that Bollywood sweetheart, Alia Bhatt, was stepping onto the global scene with Netflix’s “Heart of Stone,” there was palpable excitement. Fans expected fireworks. Instead, what played out was more akin to a damp squib.

“Heart of Stone” on Netflix: When Spy Flicks Collide with Fast Fashion
In the ever-expanding cosmos of movies, “Heart of Stone” feels like that fresh pair of kicks you impulse bought online. Looks great, fills a void, but not exactly the ones you'd showcase in your collection. Netflix, with their relentless hunger to stay atop the content food chain, presents another flick that drifts pleasantly but inconsequentially between the binaries of “oh, that was good” and “meh.”

My Review of "Enter The Dragon"
Enter the Dragon is a milestone martial arts movie that came out in 1973. It is probably the pinnacle of Bruce Lee's movie career. Way of the Dragon will forever be my favorite Bruce Lee movie but this one is up there at the top. I've watched this movie at different phases in my life and each time I have a different perspective of it.
