The brutal and murderous John Wick

It seems to me that John Wick is one of the most brutal Assassins in history and one of my favorites and here I explain why. First you should know that John Wick is a very violent, often bloody thriller starring Keanu Reeves as a brutal, vengeful killer. The death toll is very high: The characters are shot bloodily, they are mutilated, stabbed, beaten, threatened, the murderers with firearms at point-blank range are very outdated scenes, they are blown to pieces in an explosion, they are strangl

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is widely regarded as a must-watch movie for several compelling reasons: 1.

John Doe from 'Se7en' is the best killer ever.

John Doe. What can we say about John Doe that hasn't already been said? One of the most devious, petty, and twisted serial killers and villains in cinematic history. So much so that even if he surrenders to the police, it will be to complete his evil plan and win the game. It's impossible not to admire him, despite his wickedness. Or because of it. He was masterfully portrayed by a Kevin Spacey in top form, who followed this superb Se7en (David Fincher, 1995) with another equally superb The Usua

'Say Nothing', one of the best recent TV series.

Say Nothing (2024) is a nine-episode television miniseries that opens with the tragic abduction of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was taken at her house in 1972 and never seen again. The story of various members of The Provisional Irish Republican Army (Provisional IRA) narrates the extremes to which some people will go for their beliefs, how a once-divided society can suddenly turn into an armed conflict between neighbors, the enormous shadow of radical violence for those affected,

Keyser Söze vs. Tyler Durden.

Two of my favorite characters in the history of contemporary film are Keyser Söze from the fantastic film The Usual Suspects (Bryan Singer, 1995) –played by Kevin Spacey, a covert alter ego of the pusillanimous Verbal Kint–, and Tyler Durden from the influential Fight Club (David Fincher, 1999) –played by Brad Pitt but actually a fictional alter ego of the Narrator character played by Edward Norton–. In the thriller City of Shadows we witness these two protagonists in the same story: a metropoli

KATHY BATES : SINISTER CHARM ON SCREEN

Kathy Bates is an iconic actress, particularly renowned for her role as Annie Wilkes in the film Misery. It's undeniable that her performance was brilliant. She commands the audience's attention throughout the entire movie. Her unique grasp of the scene, her expressions, and her gestures—it's like watching a ticking time bomb—make her shine on screen. She's simply terrifying. Biography Born in Memphis, Tennessee, on July 28, 1948, the youngest of three daughters, Kathy Bates' father was Langdon

Amy Dunne Has A Point: A Closer Look at Female Villains

Marriage is hard. I wouldn’t personally understand, but I’m sure some of you can attest to that statement. When two people marry, we believe they’ve been able to overcome their struggles as a couple and move on to the next stage. They know each other inside and out and still accept one another—we assume, but can never be sure. But what's more important than the marriage itself is our perception of it. What does it look like from the outside? What do people think about us as a couple? Who is the

mind.full.of.movies: Yes! I LOVED Gone Girl, both the novel and movie. I think you're hitting a vein here-- the unhinged woman. With the marginalized female body, the unhinged woman seems to be a form of retaliation against the gender expectations and norms imposed on her. She is visually and internally rejecting all these expectations, and she's doing it intentionally. Love this article! Well thought out and beautifully written!

I am a person, in my house and inside my workplace. Both coincide in the episode memory I hold that reframes the identity I know myself to be. If I had a bad day at work, I had a bad day in general and I take it home with me. My bad day at home though lingers, can't take priority over my productive day at work. Severance ties all these memories and identities into one cute bundle where the doors to the outside world are locked shut and I'm not sure if season 2 will open them. But here's what I t

Dark and Immersive Tragic Tale Worth Watching

I can’t believe I let this Netflix gem slip past me when it first came out, but after finally watching The Pale Blue Eye, I have to say: What a macabre and poetic surprise, an omen to imminent death. A Murder Wrapped in a Poem Set in the icy, desolate world of 1830s West Point, The Pale Blue Eye follows the detective Augustus Landor (played by Christian Bale) as he investigates the mysterious murder of a cadet. Among the soldiers, one stands out: a peculiar young man with an interest for poetry,

Knock at the Cabin: The Fictional Fire of Sincerity

Horror films, as a widely popular movie genre, are becoming both more mainstream and market driven. At the same time, some films are transcending the genre to become auteur cinema, with M. Night Shyamalan's works being a prime example. His latest film, Knock at the Cabin, based on Paul Tremblay’s horror novel The Cabin at the End of the World, is a testament to the best that the horror genre has to offer this year. The plot follows a family who are held hostage by four strangers who claim that t

Knock at the Cabin: The Fictional Fire of Sincerity

It started as an Escape for him and became Life for me.

When I was younger I struggled with my relationship with god, with the lack of signs, with the uncertainty of heaven and hell. With such big ideas being introduced to me through film, at a young age, it was hard to conceptualize. It honestly made me afraid and I wondered: do I have to please a man upstairs? Is there truly a life after this? In the movie Signs, Mel Gibson’s character Graham Hess wisely said: “What you have to decide is what kind of person you are. Are you the type who believes in

The Killer : Why David Fincher's Professionalism isn’t appealing in Hollywood Anymore

The Professionalism of a Detective or a Killer on David Fincher's The Killer Early in the morning, a contract killer awakens in an abandoned office, proceeds through his morning routine, lays out a yoga mat, stretches his body, dons headphones, and carefully stands beside the window, observing the location where his target is expected to appear. But instead of the voice-over which drones on and on about "redundancies", it is the film’s stringent way of mise-en-scene that captures our attention:

The Matrix: Surpassing Dune, Still Reigns as the Ultimate Sci-Fi Masterpiece

As superhero movies are often considered as science fiction, The Matrix by the Wachowski siblings presents a narrative challenge with its gritty, unyielding depth and is a tough nut to crack. However, its greatness transcends the need for facile comparisons. In the absence of The Matrix, the box office standout of 1999 would still be Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. But this wild horse galloped onto the scene, making audiences feel like Lucas' space opera had already drifted away from

Memories of Murder: A Modern Noir Masterpiece

During the black hole period between Christmas and New Year's where time is an illusion, I was searching for a film to watch to fill the time while cozied up on the couch. That’s when I spotted the neo-noir crime thriller Memories of Murder (2003), directed by the master Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho. I had already seen this film many years ago, and while I recognized that it was a great film, I don’t think I fully appreciate just how brilliant the film is. This time around, I was barely a minut

As the title suggests, the movie I’m about to introduce, Babygirl, revolves around the story of a successful CEO of a robotics company with a family who finds herself drawn to a young male intern. Before we dive into this, let's get one thing straight: This isn't about someone I want to marry. This is about someone I want to date. I'm not here to talk about long-term commitment. 🤷‍♀️ So… does that mean it’s okay as long as the affair is beautiful? 🙅‍♀️NO! Not at all! I’m not endorsing cheating
