A ★★★★ review of Dune: Part Two (2024)

97th Academy Awards Picture - Dune: Part Two is an awesome sci-fi film and a worthy successor to the previous film. I had a blast watching this a second time. However, without it getting nominations i...

A ★★ review of A Complete Unknown (2024)

97th Academy Awards Picture/Director/Adapted Screenplay - This felt very much like a typical musical biopic. I’m not a huge Bob Dylan fan, so I didn’t have strong connection to the material or the son...

A ★★★★ review of The Brutalist (2024)

97th Academy Awards Picture/Director/Original Screenplay - This movie is a true epic. It’s an artistic Oscar-bait film with a Philadelphia backdrop, which I felt specifically targeted with. The length...

Watching the movies back-to-back always brings out interesting connections not as noticeable if viewed separately - usually it's actors appearing in multiple nominated movies (Chalamet) - on Saturday, the common factor was that 4 of the 5 movies had WTF endings at various levels of WTFness

97th Academy Awards Picture/Adapted Screenplay - The gimmick of how the film was shot and framed sadly did not work for me at all. I found it very distracting from the plot. It was well written, but I...
