A Minecraft Movie? Shockingly Not Bad

Look, when I heard they were actually making a Minecraft movie, I groaned out loud. Not figuratively—I literally groaned like a zombie from the game. I mean, how do you turn a game with no plot, square cows, and a character who punches trees with his bare hands into a coherent movie? It sounded like the kind of half-baked IP cash grab you'd expect to see dumped onto a streaming service and forgotten by Monday. And yet… here we are. A Minecraft Movie is not a masterpiece. It’s not Spider-Verse. I

Mickey 17: I'm Disappointed

I'm Disappointed (And not in the fun, ranty way. Just… bummed.). Let me start by saying: I wanted to like Mickey 17. I really did. Bong Joon Ho is a genius. Parasite blew me away—it was sharp, tightly paced, visually brilliant, and it delivered its social commentary with a scalpel, not a hammer. So when I heard he was adapting Mickey7 with Robert Pattinson playing clones in space? I was in. Fully onboard. Buckled up and ready for liftoff. And then… the movie started. Look, I don’t mind weird. I

Snow White’s Still Waiting to Be Rescued? Seriously?

The worst part? It’s not even bad enough to be good. It’s not camp. It’s not edgy. It’s just… there. Bland. Like someone put a Pinterest board through an AI script generator and hit “print.” It’s not offensive, it’s just disappointing. And honestly, that feels worse. Alright, let’s talk about Snow White—yes, that Snow White. The OG Disney princess who’s been singing to birds and scrubbing dwarf cottages since 1937. You’d think, after nearly a century, we’d maybe let her grow up a little, right?

Flow: A Poetic Journey of Survival

That’s where Flow really hits. There’s something almost absurdly profound about watching animals gaze at themselves. No dialogue necessary. Just the quiet, eerie realization: survival isn’t just about escaping danger. It’s about noticing you’re still here. Now, I’ll admit: I went in for the cat. I stayed for the existential crisis. Let’s get one thing out of the way: Flow (2024) is not your average animal movie. It’s not here to make you laugh with talking critters or melt your heart with Pixar-

The Gorge: Anya Taylor-Joy in Love and Action

Let’s get one thing straight—The Gorge (2025) is not here to win Oscars. It’s here to punch you in the face with style, set things on fire for no reason, and then throw in a chaotic love story while monsters scream in the background. And honestly? I loved every second of it. This film is a glorious throwback to the kind of absurd action movies that used to rule Friday nights—think Face/Off meets Mad Max with a splash of Pacific Rim on acid. There’s no subtlety, no restraint, and thank god for th

Demi Moore, Let Yourself Be Mad

Demi Moore spent the entire awards season playing nice, showing nothing but gratitude for an industry that had once discarded her, only to welcome her back with cautious, conditional arms. She had it all—the career resurgence, the compelling performance in The Substance, the overdue narrative, the industry respect—but when the name in the envelope wasn’t hers but Mikey Madison’s, the shock on her face was unmistakable. Of course, she recovered quickly. Years in Hollywood teach you how to mask di

marvelousmars: I love how you wrote this, especially how you focused on the fact that the injustice was less that she didn't win and more that she was expected to act like everything was perfect. I hadn't thought about it before, but now I hope she gave herself the chance to really feel the emotions of the loss, just like you.

My Fault: London : A Classic BookTok Fantasy

If you spend enough time on BookTok, you start to recognize the pattern. There’s always that one romance novel—dramatic, over-the-top, dripping with forbidden tension—that dominates your feed. And when those stories get turned into movies? Chaos. Enter My Fault: London (2025), the English-language remake of Culpa Mía (2023), a Spanish film that absolutely wrecked Prime Video’s viewership records. Now, it’s getting a fresh coat of paint and a new accent, but let’s be real: it’s still the same Boo

And the Oscar Goes to... Kieran Culkin!

Kieran Culkin winning an Oscar? Feels like something out of a fever dream—or, more accurately, something Roman Roy would joke about before immediately self-sabotaging. But here we are. And if there’s anyone who deserves the gold for effortlessly blending comedy, pain, and raw authenticity, it’s him. At 42, Culkin has perfected the art of playing characters who are walking contradictions—hilarious yet heartbreaking, cocky yet deeply insecure, lovable yet completely insufferable. It’s a niche, but

What Makes The White Lotus So Irresistible?

Calling The White Lotus a “highly anticipated” show barely does it justice. Every season kicks off with a dead body, rewinds a week, and then slowly peels back the layers of dysfunction, privilege, and chaos lurking beneath the polished veneer of luxury resorts. But the magic of the show isn’t just in its murder-mystery framing—it’s in how it constantly shifts gears. Season 1, set in Hawaii, was a sharp critique of wealth and privilege. Season 2 took us to Sicily, trading social commentary for a

Why is The Brutalist So Pretentious?

The Brutalist (2024) is one of those films that demands to be noticed, and it does so with a flair that borders on the absurd. From its choice of VistaVision cameras to its projection in 70mm, complete with a grand overture and intermission, this film unapologetically wears its pretensions like a badge of honor. It’s big. It’s bold. It’s brash. But does that make it a masterpiece, or just a self-indulgent exercise in cinematic excess? The answer is complicated, but one thing is certain: The Brut

Lucas Friesen: Call me crazy, but I think a director benefits from having a massive ego. It helps to believe you can do everything the way you want to do it. I would rather have an egotistical director go for a homerun and fail than a meek director make something that he thinks will appeal to the most ppl. And I still don't know how they made this movie on only $10M. Did Adrien Brody work for free?

Babygirl: Can Men Understand Female Desire?

Question: power = control, submission = weakness. But what if those equations are completely wrong? Men and their endless need to figure out “what women really want” — we’ve all heard it, and honestly, it’s a bit of a tired debate at this point. The thing is, it’s a debate men seem to love having, probably because they think it gives them some sort of upper hand. But in the movie Babygirl, that assumption is turned on its head in a way that’s both funny and painfully real. The film really taps i

Is It Time to Let Go of Bridget?

Bridget Jones: the chaotic, calorie-counting, chain-smoking, and relentlessly self-improving single woman who charmed her way into our hearts back in the early 2000s. She became the poster child for every woman who felt a little out of place in her own skin, a little too imperfect to fit into the “perfect” mold of the time. If there was ever an everywoman in film, it was Bridget. She was messy, real, and most importantly—she made us feel less alone in our own messes. But now, with Bridget Jones:

Men and Chocolates, Fk Off!

Valentine’s Day is a capitalist farce—plain and simple. Every year, like clockwork, we’re flooded with ads selling us this idea that love can be bought. And the biggest, most hypocritical symbol of this is chocolate. Don’t get me wrong, chocolate’s great, but it’s been co-opted by an industry that’s more about reinforcing outdated gender norms than actually celebrating anything real. The history of Valentine’s Day is a lovely little mix of commercialization, patriarchy, and consumerism, all wrap

A Valentine’s Day with Amélie

What would it be like to spend Valentine’s Day with Amélie Poulain, the whimsical Parisian dreamer who sees beauty in the most peculiar details of life? I picture it now: a night full of secrets, strange coincidences, and romantic adventures through the winding alleys of Montmartre, with Amélie by my side, her eyes twinkling as she leads me down paths I’ve never noticed before. We’re tracking a stranger just because "his shoes look like a story." Sounds like the kind of spontaneous, magic-filled

Captain America or Captain Midlife? Marvel’s Middle-Age Crisis

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is at a crossroads. Gone are the days when Tony Stark could fly in with a flashy suit or when Steve Rogers could effortlessly wield his shield, saving the world with a single toss. Now, with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans ’ departures, we’re left with a roster of superheroes who are either getting a little too old for this game or scrambling to stay relevant in a world that’s rapidly changing. And then there’s the question: what happens when Captain America
