Viridiana (1961)
Directed By Luis Buñuel
Written By Luis Buñuel & Julio Alejandro

Starring

Silvia Pinal
Francisco Rabal
Fernando Rey

Spoilers 🚨🚨🚨
(If You Haven’t Seen The Film Avoid Reading This)

I Thought This Film Is An Examination Of The Hollowness Of Religion And Religious Morality.

Viridiana Is Barely A Person,
She Is Shallow,
She Is Fake,
Her Piousness And Piety Is A Facade,
She Is Someone Who Tries To Run Away From Real Life Challenges.But She Is Confronted By Real Life Challenges She Covets.
Viridiana Is An Empty Person Who Masked Her Emptiness With A False Sense Of Virtue And Piety

JUST LIKE RELIGION!!!!

Miss Lovely (2012)
Directed By Asim Ahluwalia
Written By Asim Ahluwalia & Uttam Siraur

Starring

Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Niharika Singh
Menaka Lalwani
Anil George
Zeena Bhatia

Mild Spoilers 🚨🚨🚨

This Gem Of An Indian Film Which Is About The Underbelly Of Shady Filmmaking In India In 1980’s Is Pure KINO!!!!!

An Underrated Gem From India That Should Be Seen By Everyone.
(But It Might Not Be For Everyone)

Battleship Potemkin (1925)
Directed By Sergei Eisenstein
Written By Nina Agadzhanova & Sergei Eisenstein

Starring

Aleksandr Antonov
Vladimir Barsky
Grigori Aleksandrov

Spoilers 🚨🚨🚨

Widely Regarded As One Of The Biggest Achievements In Cinematic History Battleship Potemkin Remains Intriguing As Ever. But I Felt Like The Staircase Scene Held The Movie Together. And I Felt LIke Despite Being Made As A Propaganda Piece To Evoke A Strong Sense Of Rebellion And A Sense Of Uprising In The Audience I Really Wonder Whether The Movie Really Achieved That Goal. I Felt Like The Movie Is Somewhat A Cerebral Experience Than An Emotional One And Failed In What Eisenstein Intended,But This Is Just Me!!!

My Rating 9/10

Megalopolis (2024)
Written & Directed By Francis Ford Copolla

Starring

Adam Driver
Giancarlo Esposito
Nathalie Emmanuel
Aubrey Plaza
Shia LaBeouf
Jon Voight
Laurence Fishburne
Kathryn Hunter
Dustin Hoffman

Very Very Mild Spoilers 🚨🚨🚨🚨

This Film Is Far From Perfect,Apart From Plaza And LeBeouf Acting Is Below Par,Especially Nathalie Seems Miscasted.The Film’s Improvised Dialogue Did More Harm To The Film That Elevating It And The Film Seems Like A Rambling Rabbit At Times.

But The Visual Style And Grandeur Is Commendable And I Really Don’t Think The Core Of The Film Is Lost. It’s A Modern Retelling Of Catilinarian Conspiracy Where The Rome Is New York And Renamed New Rome.That Core Is Not A Miss.Once You Get The Grab Of The Film’s Core The Film Is Completely Watchable And While I Couldn’t Understand The Film Completely I’m Sure Rewatches Would Do Wonders To Me.

Not Perfect But Overhated!!!

My Rating 7/10

Joker - Folie A Deux
Directed By Todd Phillips
Written By Scott Silver & Todd Phillips

Starring Joaquin Phoenix,Lady Gaga,Branden Glesson,Catherine Keener,Zazie Beets,Steve Coogan,Harry Lawtey,Leigh Gill

This Film’s Existence Is All About Destroying What Joker (2019) Was.
That’s It,Otherwise This Film Is Just BANAL.
The Film Is Just A Middle Finger To The People Who Liked The First Film,Which Itself A Derivative Copy And Paste Of Taxi Driver And The King Of Comedy!!!

Just BANAL,SHALLOW & Extremely Smug About It’s Own Existence!!!

This Movie Got What It Fu***ng Deserve!!!

My Rating 4/10

Emilia Perez (2024)
Written & Directed By Jacques Audiard

Starring Zoe Saldaña,Karla Sofía Gascón,Selena Gomez,Adriana Paz,Mark Ivanir,Édgar Ramírez

Well We Are Having The Crash (2004) Of 2020’s. Will Win Whole Lotta Awards But Will Age Like Fine Milk!!

WELL MADE TRASH!!!

My Rating 4/10
(Gave 4 Cause I Liked The Cinematography)

Anora (2024)
Written And Directed By Sean Baker

Starring Mikey Madison,Mark Eydelshteyn,Yura Borisov,Karren Karagulian,Vache Tovmasyan,Aleksei Serebryakov

Well Sean Baker Makes Films About S*x Workers Like Martin Scorsese Makes Films About Gangsters.
Brilliant Performance By Madison And The Rest Of The Cast And Though The Movie Was Genuinely Funny.

My Rating 8/10

Casablanca (1942)
Directed By Michael Curtiz
Written By Julius J. Epstein & Philip G. Epstein& Howard Koch

Starring Humphrey Bogart,Ingrid Bergman,Paul Henreid,Claude Rains

This Is One Of Few Films Which I Thought Might Not For Me But End Up Really Loving It.With Ingrid Bergman And Claude Rains (Two Of My Favorite Actors Ever) And Bogart With His Outing As One Of The Best Protagonists Ever Casablanca Is Without A Doubt A Classic That Is Rightfully Beloved

My Rating 10/10

Kanguva
2024
Directed By Siva
Story By Siva & Aadhi Narayana
Screenplay By Siva
Dialogues By Madhan Karky

Starring Surya,Disha Patani,Bobby Deol

Simple!!
Plain,Bland & Boring!!
One Of The Rare Movies That I Couldn’t Sit Through Completely And I’m Not Gonna Try Again!!

My Rating 1/10

Obsession (1976)
Directed By Brian De Palma
Story By Paul Schrader & Brian De Palma
Screenplay By Paul Schrader
Starring Cliff Robertson,Geneviève Bujold,John Lithgow

While Being Another Hitchcock Homage By De Palma (In This Case Vertigo) This Film Takes The Narrative To Very Uncomfortable Realms, Which In A Way Works For The Benefit Of The Movie. The Movie’s Real Weakness Is Cliff Robertson,Who Clearly Lacks The Emotional Range To Portray Such A Complex Character. He Just Smirks,That’s All He Does Throughout The Movie.

My Rating 8/10

Inferno (1980)
Written & Directed By Dario Argento
Starring Leigh McClosky, Eleonara Giorgi, Gabriele Lavia, Daria Nicolodi, Alida Valli, Irene Miracle

The Thematic Sequel To The Classic Suspiria (1977) Is Somewhat Overshadowed By It’s Predecessor When It Comes To Reputation. I Feel Like The Film’s Much More Slower, Brooding Pace Which Contrasts With Much More Bombastic Suspiria Had To Play A Part For The Mixed Reviews It Got. But I Felt Like Inferno Is A Better Film Than Suspiria In Terms Of Writing. Inferno Deserves Much Respect As Much As Suspiria Gets

Underrated Argento!!!!!

My Rating 10/10

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
Directed By Shawn Levy
Written By Ryan Reynolds,Rhett Reese,Paul Wernick,Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy
Starring Ryan Reynolds,Hugh Jackman,Emma Corrin,Morena Baccarin,Rob Delaney,Leslie Uggams,Matthew Macfadyen
(And Countless Cameos)

All The Cool Needledrops,Cameos And Meta Irony Doesn’t Change The Fact That This Movie Lacks In Story & Character. But It Feels Like The Movie Doesn’t Really Care About It Since It’s Heavily Reliant On The Cameos And All The Meta Jokes By Reynolds (Which TBH Doesn’t Help That Much)

This Movie Is Made For Fan Service And It Gets It Right.

Deadpool > Deadpool II > Deadpool And Wolverine

My Rating 5/10

Tenebre (1982)
Written & Directed By Dario Argento
Starring Anthony Franciosa,Christian Borromeo,Mirella D’Angelo, Veronica Lario,John Saxon

Probably The Best Written Film Of Dario Argento,This Is One Of The Few Films That Kept Me Guessing Until The End. And Antony Franciosa’s Effortless Performance Made The Film A Joyful Ride. Damn One Of The Best Horror Thriller Films I’ve Ever Seen And Exemplifies The Giallo Spirit Pretty Well

My Rating 10/10
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

27/11/2024

The Substance (2024)
Written & Directed By Coralie Fargeat
Starring Demi Moore,Margaret Qualley & Dennis Quaid

As Visceral As A Body Horror Should Be The Substance Which Is Led By Without A Doubt The Career Best Performance Of Demi Moore Is Like A Smug Adolescent Kid Who Is Proud About It,And It Should Be. And The Final 30 Minutes Of The Film…….Damn One Of Most Visceral Experiences I Ever Had. But For Me The True Hero Of The Film Is Coralie Fargret.

This Film Has Lots If Virtues But Subtlety Is Not One Of Them,But That Lack Of Subtlety Is What Makes The Movie An Exhilarating Experience, The Primary Goal Of Any Good Filmmaker

My Rating 9/10

The Omen (1976)
Directed By Richard Donner
Written By David Seltzer

Starring Gregory Peck,Lee Remick,David Warner,Billie Whitelaw

“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666”

The Book Of Revelations 13:18

One Of My Favorite Soundtracks Ever!!!

Gigi (1958)
Directed By Vincente Minnelli
Screenplay By Alan Jey Lerner

Starring Leslie Caron,Maurice Chevalier,Louis Jourdan,Hermoine Gingold,Eva Gabor

Spoiler Alert 🚨🚨🚨

This Movie Starts And Ends With Honoré Lachaille (Played By Maurice Chevalier) Singing “Thank Heaven,Thank Heaven For The Little Girls”.
That Fact Solely Makes The Movie An Unpleasant Experience.

Despite Loving The Cinematography And The Production Value (A Hallmark of Minnelli’s Films) This Movies Certainly Have Aged Like Milk!!

My Rating

Rebecca (1940)
Directed By Alfred Hitchcock
Adaptation By Phillip MacDonald & Michael Hogan
Screenplay By Robert E. Sherwood & Joan Harrison

Starring Laurence Olivier,Joan Fontaine,Judith Anderson,George Sanders,Reginald Denny,Gladys Cooper,C. Aubrey Smith

The First American Film Of The Master Of Suspense Is My Favorite Film Of His.Backed By Solid Performances By Laurence Olivier,Joan Fontaine And Ever Charming George Sanders. Another Major Character In This Wonderful Film Is It’s Cinematography By The Great Cinematographer George Barnes.

Overall One Of The Best Hitchcock Films And My Personal Favorite Of His
