Indiana Jones 5 (2023)

2023-07-10 // ★★

Like time travel this movie is a paradox, it's both better and worse than I expected at the same time. But to paraphrase the words of a professional critic: "we didn't know how good we had it with Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull".

The Flash (2023)

2023-07-03 // ★★★★

I expected to hate Ezra Miller, but to my surprise he is the second best part of this movie, first is obviously Michael Keaton. WB execs are idiots for not immediately green lighting a Return of the Dark Knight movie with him starring.

Kandahar (2023)

2023-06-16 // ★★★★

Not what I expected but a decent thriller nonetheless.

Fast X (2023)

2023-06-09 // ★★★★★★

I expect stupid and they deliver awesome stupid, I'm happy. Jason Momoa is a great addition to the cast.

Shazam 2 (2023)

2023-04-08 // ★★★

A fine movie, that's just fine.

Tetris (2023)

2023-06-09 // ★★★★★

I loved the energy of this movie even if by adaptation and “based on real events” they meant that the only true things in the movie are that there is a game called Tetris that was a challenge to license and that there are people with some of the names mentioned in the movie that exist in real life.

Almost a a complete fabrication but it paints the essence of the real life story in style!

Hidden Figures (2016)

2023-06-04 // ★★★★★

Historical liberties for adaptation purposes aside, Hidden Figures is a great look at how human achievement is a collaborative effort. Really loved the bathroom scene with Kirsten Durst and Octavia Spencer and their subtle but positive development.

Blackberry (2023)

2023-06-02 // ★★★★★

Subverted my expectations.

Scherzo of the Deep Night (2022)

2023-05-24 // ★★★★★

This felt like a long episode, it was great as usual, but I still think they should have adapted Moon Cradle as movies instead of Progressive’s first floors.

Sisu (2023)

2023-05-18 // ★★★★★★

Glorious, manly and made on a small budget --everything modern Hollywood hates.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 (2023)

2023-05-15 // ★★★★★★

Most likely the last creator-led MCU movie. A great goodbye to my favorite MCU misfits.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2023)

2023-04-20 // ★★★★★

Better than most live action movies.

Super Mario (2023)

2023-04-11 // ★★★★★★

Everything I didn’t know I wanted and more! This is how you do nostalgia right.

Demon Slayer (2023)

2023-03-13 // ★★★★★

I could get used to watching anime in a premium cinema...

John Wick 4 (2023)

2023-04-04 // ★★★★★★

A fitting end for the saga.

Creed III (2023)

2023-03-03 // ★★★★★

Simple and powerful, two men understanding each other through the purest language, violence.

Quantumania

2023-02-20 // ★★★★★

I liked it! Good vs evil, solid action, great villain and everyone gets to shine. The only negative is no Michael Peña.
