‘Companion’ Sparked the Creation of My AI Lover

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

Companion

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

"The Brutalist" Missed the Real Brutalism

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.

5 Reasons Why Disney+ Daredevil Can Save Marvel (Not Captain America)

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

10 Worst Winners in Oscar History (Anora's #9)

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

Offline Love: Gen Z's Netflix Guide to Dating Without Phones

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

Offline Love

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.

A Complete Unknown: Timothée’ s Dylan vs Oscars Snub

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

2025 Oscars | Most of Them Are Trash!!! (Updating)

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

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

OSCAR 2025 | Madness or Masterpiece? The Oscars’ Addiction to Shock Value

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

Captain America 4 Failure: Marvel's Superhero Fatigue Exposed

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

When Will Netflix Action Movies Stop Being Clichéd?

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

Ad Vitam

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.

This Valentine's Day is all about Captain America

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

Missing You: Watch 1-2, Skip the Rest, Enjoy the Finale

Aside from the highly anticipated Severance Season 2, there haven’t been many great shows lately. In my opinion, the underrated thriller Missing You is barely worth watching. As a fan of suspense thrillers with a rather picky taste, I was initially excited about another Harlan Coben adaptation. But I didn’t expect the show to suffer from such a drastic pacing issue. The first two episodes are tightly woven with suspense, packed with intriguing clues that keep teasing your curiosity. Then, the mi

Joel Might Not Die: The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer’s Big Tease

Joel might not die. For a devoted fan of The Last of Us like me, this isn’t just an idle guess—it’s based on careful observation of the trailer’s details and an analysis of the show’s adaptation strategy. In season 1, the series boldly adjusted and innovated the game’s narrative, keeping the spirit of the original while adding new layers of emotional depth. So, can Joel’s fate be rewritten this time? That’s the question I’m dying to find out. Let’s get straight to the point: Joel’s fate is delib
