A ★★★★ review of Godzilla (1954)
Gojira嘆きの怪物 Recently rewatched this one night due to an unshakable sense of restlessness and found myself weeping in solitude upon hearing Serizawa’s parting words as well as witnessing the voiceless climax. Those final minutes elicit such a raw sense of sorrow from me it’s almost humorous to admit, yet I …
A ★★★★½ review of The Straight Story (1999)
Farm Rider“That is one thing I can’t shake loose. All my buddies’ faces are still young. And the thing is, the more years I have, the more they’ve lost.” Each visit with my papa is another reminder we’re nearing our final hello’s, final handshakes, final living room chats, final hugs, …
A ★★★½ review of Where the Wild Things Are (2009)
It ends eventually I remember vividly the day death became a tangible concept for me. It was at a family friend's church, their pastor was conducting a sermon I’d heard many times prior but never really listened to yet what felt like out of nowhere was a monologue about how …
A ★★★★ review of Cloud (2024)
Sigma-reseller grind set manCash chats, mandates our past, present and future, makes us feel like we’re gliding on cloud nine. Up until it all comes crumbling down leaving us with nothing but a chasm. It grows grander with each micro triumph or cataclysmic fatality. Success or failure interchangeable to it; …
A ★★★★½ review of Prehistoric Beast (1985)
Genndy 🤝 Tippett Tragedy to us, necessity to them. We can personify the primordial all our hearts desire but ultimately, ain’t nothin immoral bout this land. Eat. Sleep. Survive. All there was and all there is. That’s how they made it multiple megayears, up until a falling comet scorched this …
A ★★★½ review of Casino (1995)
Town of ̶t̶r̶u̶s̶t̶Vapid glitz and glamor beckoning every and all persons who answer the song. Vagabonds making a dead land their home one way or another. Empires built upon sham successes and hollow bonds. Perfidy rampant. Cash flow flooding pockets of polluted politicians and lowlifes alike, each equally scum. But …
Sentimental Value (2025)
Representar família é uma prática muito comum em diferentes tipos de mídia, e o cinema não foge disso. Até porque, por mais desnaturada e complicada que seja, todo mundo tem uma família; todo mundo veio de algum lugar. Portanto, ao abordar um tema tão recorrente, um filme precisa trazer elementos …

Crítica de 'El caballo de Turín' (2011
Si la película es reconocida por algo, es su estilo. Fotografía en blanco y negro, escasos planos y contadas elipsis, situadas casi enteramente dentro de una humilde casa. Hablamos de un cine lento, que reduce al mínimo sus acciones y movimientos. Parte de una extensa duración, de forma que cada …
Crítica de 'Love Actually' (2003)
Asumimos la suspensión de la credibilidad para cada género, incluidas las comedias románticas. Lo que nos exige atenernos a ellas es, en cierto modo, también el motivo por el que las vemos. Sabemos que, al final, aunque partamos de la comicidad, y aunque durante todo el relato pueda ser su …
A ★★★ review of Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
Michael Bay uses his sunburnt, hopped-up-on-energy-drinks franchise of murderous giant toys to portray the fight for America's soul as one fought between the evil and the useless, while the whole world suffers the destructive consequences, allies are betrayed and innocents are crushed.A master visualist even when he obviously couldn't care …

No Place Like Home: Walter Salles and Fernanda Torres on time-traveling to honor the family of I’m Still Here • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine
It took Walter Salles twelve years to return to narrative filmmaking and sixteen to be back in his home country of Brazil, but I’m Still Here is worth the wait. As I write this, the director has just made history by helming the first-ever Brazilian film to be nominated for …
Film Review: The Florida Project (2017)
Set in the backdrops of the enchanting Disney World is a purple-hued motel called Magic Castle. It houses all kinds of people- whether it be tourists looking for a cheap stay or the working class who've turned it into a permanent lodging. Well, atleast for our 6-yr-old Moonee and her …
A ★★★★½ review of The Pledge (2001)
Rewatched - December 30, 2024 I first saw The Pledge when I was in High School after I read that the movie was on The Great Movie List by Roger Ebert. Great cast, plot and ending, what could I ask for more?
