Burning bad films so you don’t have to.
I recently watched the new trailer for Ballerina (2025). Honestly, ever since Keanu Reeves turned the John Wick universe into a new benchmark for modern action films, I've been holding my breath for all related spin-offs. After all, when you have such a high standard set before you, it's tough to surpass, or even just maintain, that level. After watching the trailer, I felt somewhat relieved, or rather, quite excited. In the trailer, Ana de Armas ' character, the ballerina assassin Rooney, fight
The gaming world’s been buzzing lately, and the hottest topic? Nintendo finally dropping their new console, the Switch 2. As an old-school gamer who grew up with the NES, I’m always hyped to see what Nintendo’s cooking. But when this so-called “next-gen” console got unveiled, I wasn’t jumping for joy—I was just… meh. Honestly, it felt predictable, even a little disappointing. To me, it’s just another half-assed upgrade, like they’re squeezing toothpaste out of a nearly empty tube. Not worth the
Alright, let's talk about Disney's "poison apple," the live-action "Snow White." Whether you've seen it or not, you've probably heard something about the reviews. This time, the reception really hasn't been great. On IMDb and rating sites like Peliplat, the scores are very, very low. You could say it's faced a significant challenge; audiences and critics don't seem too impressed. I went to see the movie myself, and honestly, the viewing experience wasn't exactly enjoyable. It felt like the film
Icemoon: I think Zegler's an actress with talent. However, she did say a lot of things on social media that created disappointment and distrust with many Disney fans and casual viewers alike. I love to see a genuine heroine in action, whether is an animated movie like Brave or brainless action flick like Ballerina. A heroine can have both hard physical strength and soft powers like kindness, gentleness, compassion and empathy. I would appreciate if either side is portrayed on screen.What have put off many viewers, including myself, is the fact that Zegler talked about Snow White as if being feminine is a bad thing, as if it is only acceptable that girls nowadays need to be "strong" and "independent" like "a man" (who said men are completely independent from women and/or society anyways??)We need to clearly see through logical fallacies, and recognize that our limited social circle and worldview may not necessarily represent the different/varied environments functioning around the world right now. It's not a zero sum game. One does not have to be independent from being able to rely on others in order to be viewed as sovereign. It's this illogical defiance of common sense that comes across as immature, and that's probably why many people chose to not watch Snow White after what she openly said about the film and her role.
Recently, I came across a review of the sci-fi movie Companion on Peliplat titled “Companion Made Me Question Everything.” The author, Lucas Friesen, found the film underwhelming, criticizing its clichéd plot and average acting. After watching it myself, I couldn’t disagree more. Companion follows Iris, a companion robot who starts off believing she’s human and trusted her owner, Josh, unconditionally. As the story unfolds, Iris realizes Josh has been exploiting her robotic nature for his own se
marvelousmars: This is a super interesting article but what really got me was your experience with DeepSeek giving you terse answers that don't really lend themselves to a continued conversation... Somehow I'm starting to worry half of the guys I match with on dating apps are actually just DeepSeek in disguise lmaooo
When I saw The Brutalist snag Adrien Brody an Oscar for Best Actor, I got pretty pumped —he’s one of my favorite actors. The movie follows László Tóth, a fictional architect who flees Europe for the U.S. after World War II, hauling his dreams and scars along, hoping to reshape his life through buildings. In the film, Brutalism—that raw, concrete-heavy style with its sharp, no-nonsense lines—comes off super oppressive, almost suffocating, like the gloom of war accompanying him everywhere he goes.
As someone who’s watched a ton of Marvel movies—and ridden the rollercoaster of endless hopes and crushing disappointments—I have to say this: since Captain America 4 completely shattered my faith in the MCU, Disney’s Daredevil: Born Again has been like a breath of fresh air, delivering the kind of thrills and surprises I’d almost forgotten existed. Let me break down exactly what makes this show so damn refreshing. 1. Fight Scenes The opening duel between Daredevil and Bullseye absolutely blew m
In my opinion, Anora is an extremely mediocre film. Its win completely shocked me. I have always believed that the Best Picture at the Oscars should represent the pinnacle of Hollywood filmmaking. Yet here we have Anora, which on Peliplat barely reaches a 7.7—never even hitting an 8. This is just an average score. I never imagined that among all the awarded films there would be one this mediocre. Even more surprising is that throughout Oscar history, there are several films that disappoint even
Tip: Offline Love is currently streaming on Netflix. All ten episodes are out, and I highly recommend it! Last week, I stumbled on a Peliplat post by marvelousmars titled “Before Sunrise, or, uh, Before I Sleep I Guess?”. The writer complains about the fakeness of dating apps and reminisces about the romance of chance encounters on trains—her words dripping with a longing for that pre-internet kind of love. No sooner had I finished her post than Netflix’s algorithm recommended a Japanese dating
Hot comment: Siempre tendremos nostalgia por los buenos logros de épocas anteriores. Algo semejante pasa con las canciones de los 60s, 70s, 80s. Y ya que tu hiciste referencia a la vieja y noble carta, esa forma comunicativa tan amplia -poemas cupieron en ella- alcanzó lo sublime hasta en el estrato popular. Pero la evolución cultural también es implacable, carece de esa cualidad que tienen los automores, la velocidad en reversa. Interesante y bonita reseña.
The Oscar results are out, and unsurprisingly, A Complete Unknown, which snagged eight nominations, ended up empty-handed. Honestly, most of this year’s Oscar nods left me disappointed—especially Emilia Pérez, The Substance, and Best Picture winner Anora. But in the midst of all that mediocrity, A Complete Unknown was the only film that truly struck a chord with me. Today, I want to talk about this movie and how it tapped into that restless spirit of refusing to be mediocre and going against the
I’m currently watching the nominees for Best Picture at this year's Oscars, Most of them, I'm afraid, aren’t worth mentioning. So for each one, I'll just leave a brief summary of my thoughts. (I’ll keep updating as I finish more—stay tuned!) 1. Emilia Pérez Rating: C- A crime lord’s desire for gender transition triggers a bloody saga of melodrama and over-the-top sequences of a Mexican TV drama. While it lightly touches on gender issues, this is hardly the film’s focus. The musical sequences are
Ishika Banerjee: I thought Anora was great because the dialogue was very on-point and straightforward tbh
After recently watching Ne Zha 2 and Captain America 4, I walked out of the theater with a sudden realization: the landscape of global movie box office rankings has changed. Here’s the current top 10 global box office ranking as of February 25, 2025: • Avatar (2009)– $2.92 billion • Avengers: Endgame(2019)– $2.80 billion • Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)– $2.32 billion • Titanic(1997) – $2.26 billion • Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) – $2.07 billion • Avengers: Infinity War(2018)– $2.05 bill
As a cinephile perpetually "educated" by the Oscars’ taste, I’ve finally hit my limit this year: Dear Academy voters, have you all inhaled some artistic hallucinogen? Look at the three frontrunners—Emilia Pérez, Anora, and The Substance. One features a transgender cartel leader tangoing through cartel territory, another follows a sex worker’s absurd marriage to a Russian oligarch’s heir, and the third turns a Hollywood star into a grotesque science experiment for eternal youth. These films seem
On Valentine's Day, I rushed into the theater with my ticket in hand, ready for a long-awaited reunion with the Marvel Universe. But by the time the credits rolled, I was left with only one thought: this might be the last time I pay for a movie with the Captain America's name on it. Yes, Captain America 4 is a complete disaster. With a score below 6 on Peliplat, far lower than the previousChris Evans ´ Captain America films, I felt a bit dazed—how does the Marvel I once loved, the one that made
As the end credits of Ad Vitam slowly roll by, I find myself staring at the flickering Netflix logo on the screen—not feeling the rush of adrenaline you’d expect after a thrilling ride, but rather an almost numb exhaustion. This so-called "breakthrough action blockbuster" packs every cliché of Netflix action films into one package: sweeping aerial shots of cityscapes captured by drones, high-speed chase sequences cut in rapid-fire editing, and even scenes of the leads embracing amid a hail of gu
Ishika Banerjee: I don't think Netflix has a good monopoly over well-written scripts other than their already-established IPs like Stanger things or squid games. The rest of their content is so mid it makes you wonder if they're only allowed to take bad scripts.
Valentine's Day used to be Hollywood's golden window for releasing tender and heartwarming love stories that would make us believe in love again. However, fast-forward to 2025, this tradition has been completely rewritten. The only major release this Valentine's Day is Captain America: Brave New World. What does a superhero movie have to do with romance? It seems movie studios have decided that love is no longer in demand, and armored heroes saving the world are a safer commercial bet. Over the
