My Review of "Sound of Metal"
The Sound of Metal is a small budgeted movie that came out in 2019. Not a lot of advertising had come out for this movie. Through word of mouth recently, this movie has been getting some buzz. I think people like the existential exploration of the main character. Through his adventure of finding himself we see a lot of genuine situations and emotions. It's a lot to take in and that's what makes this movie great.

‘Trainspotting’ (1996) Film Review
“Trainspotting” is defined as the practice of venturing to a railway station and logging the number of trains that one sees. Though the characters do, quite literally, idle along a railway and watch as trains pass by in one particular scene of Trainspotting, the term serves as a double-entendre in the context of this film; it also refers to the track marks left on one’s arm from the use of hypodermic drugs.

Review of 'Lies Like Poison'
Riverdale meets Kara Thomas's The Cheerleaders in this electrifying, twisted thriller about estranged friends who reunite when someone commits the murder they'd planned--but didn't go through with--and leaves one of their own to take the fall. Poppy, Lily, and Belladonna would do anything to protect their best friend, Raven. So when they discovered he was suffering abuse at the hands of his stepmother, they came up with a lethal plan: petals of poppy, belladonna, and lily in her evening tea so she'd never be able to hurt Raven again. But someone got cold feet, the plot faded to a secret of the past, and the group fell apart. Three years later, on the eve of Raven's seventeenth birthday, his stepmother turns up dead. But it's only belladonna found in her tea, and it's only Belladonna who's carted off to jail. Desperate for help, Belle reaches out to her estranged friends to prove her innocence. They answer the call, but no one is prepared for what comes next. Now, everyone has something to lose and something equally dangerous to hide. And when the tangled web of secrets and betrayal is finally unwound, what lies at its heart will change the group forever.

My Review of "Tenet"
Tenet was one of the most anticipated movies of 2020. It came out with a bunch of mixed reviews that discouraged me from watching the movie. I heard it was over bloated and pretentious. By now I should know not to take movie critic reviews so seriously since it's all a matter of perspective. The root thing about a movie is if it can entertain me. I can gladly tell you that I was able to enjoy my time watching this movie.
