My Review of "Way of the Dragon"
I loved Way of the Dragon when I first saw it as a young child. I realize now that this movie is very much like an anime before Animes were big. There was so much to love back in the day but I wasn't sure how I would receive the movie today. As with many movies that I re-watch from the past, there's a chance it might suck. I was willing to risk my memory of this movie to give it another watch.

My Review of "Uppity: The Willy T. Ribbs Story"
I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to the sport of racing. There's a few race car drivers that I know of but I have no clue what race car drivers have to go through in order to become a professional. That being said there's some information in this documentary that flew way over my head. I'm sure it will fly over a lot of people's heads as well when you watch this film.

My Review of "Parasite"
Parasite has been talked about by a ton of people despite being Korean. I found that particularly interesting because I've never heard so much buzz for a non-European language movie since Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. It's a breathe of fresh air for Asian cinema because it delves not in a historical or fantasy based story. It's a well polished modern story!

My Review of "Groundhog Day"
Re-watching movies from the past is kind of a gamble for me. I risk the chance of ruining a classic for myself. I did this with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I used to love that movie but watching it today I realize it's not quite the movie I remembered it to be.

Better watch out for aliens while on your vacation. They are deceiving and could look like a cushion. Save Yourselves! is a 2020 film about a young couple deciding to get away for a week and isolate themselves from the world of their phones. Having disconnected, they miss out on an urgent alert which ends up destroying the world around them.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
A ending impactful as Hitler getting shot in the face from one of my favorite movies of all time, a top ten of all time list and most rewatchable for myself personally ‘Inglorious Bastards’ written and directed by the same person as this film. A love letter to Hollywood. Two time Oscar winner best supporting actor and best production design. Shout out to Parasite for their Oscar wins and the most important one of night best picture (movie) win. Monumental moments stoned in history for powerful representation for all ethnicities in more similar to Moonlight’s win created by a black director Barry Jenkins. Congratulations to Bong Joon Ho in the entire cast and crew for their work. Filmmaking is a lot harder than people think it’s highly physical and mental work so well deserved definitely one of best movie of the past decade get past your bias of no subtitles movie in see something special. Congrats again and to the people of South Korea. Lastly major shout out to the director of directors the one and only everybody across the world who wants to be a filmmaker is in the shadow of, with a highly deserved shouting standing ovation for Martin Scorsese. The greatest director to live and of the century.

"Manahatta" Yale Repetory Theatre.
Robert Massimi. Throughout time, things have both changed and have also stayed the same. Playwright Mary Kathryn Nagle constantly brings us from the present, to the past and somewhere in the middle. This play has many constants, variations and much symmetry too it. In the one hour and forty intermission less minutes we go back and forth between a Wall Street firm where a talented, young Indian woman with a propensity for mathematics, who is originally from Oklahoma, lands a job in investment banking. Proud of her Indian roots, she has lost many of the customs and the traditions of her culture. Even though she has to go back and forth to tend to her dying father, she has her eye on the prize... the glory of being a Wall Street big shot.

A Filmmaker's Review: "The Pharmacist" (Netflix, 2020)
I had many different conflicting thoughts about this documentary because of the fact there were so many different people involved at the beginning. When it comes down to it, the various characters and their differing lifestyles made me question exactly how much I cared and sympathised with various people. I will explain the many different emotions I felt during the watching of this limited series and why these various emotions came to me.
