I just finished watching Vanilla Sky because I wanted to see another Tom Cruise movie like "Eyes Wide Shut" and I saw a video of Tom running in empty america of it which was very reminiscent! And I have to say this movie gave me alot of what I wanted, the psychological aspects and the moody 2000s music was so good, it reminded me of Ergo Proxy (2006) several times! David (played by Tom Cruise)'s life was so dreamy yet chaotic. The movie suddenly jumped between scenes which created some confusion but kept the audience just as confused as David that kept me invested. It was really blurring the lines between dream and reality! The actresses were also especially endearing and beautiful with Tom, especially Penelope Cruz even more than Cameron Diaz, they somehow managed to make her very adorable and hot! Maybe it was her early acting days, which added to her naive innocence. The dialogue was also used beautifully and the plot kept you guessing. Kurt Russell's father-like figure to Tom was very hearttouching. I really enjoyed watching this movie and there were quite a few funny moments with Tom Cruise going crazy! The scattered hints and the extended ending scene was just beautiful. It really delved into multiple genres, and loved that I want in completely blind as to what type of movie it was! P.s. one scene of Tom getting down on his knees and falling on his side reminded of a scene in Yasuke's opening! That was soo cool! 8:39am - 8:56am, 9.2.2025

Just finished watching Nosferatu, and overall it was a good-looking, well-acted period movie. I watched it for the stylized portrayal of the Count Dracula / Nosferatu, coincidentally his name even comes in Hellsing I saw over a week ago on Jan 18-22, 2025! I'll just go and say the castle scenes were perhaps the strongest, maybe even funniest part of the movie as if a Hotel Transylvania scenario or like Scooby-doo and the gang visiting a haunted mansion. I appreciated the choice of actors like Nicholas Hoult, Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Emma Corrin from Deadpool & Wolverine actually looking pretty, Lily-rose depp looking sensual in some, while heartrendingly sincere and innocent in others was impressive. And of course, Willem Dafoe being the cryptic, adorable crazy old man who guides or menaces the youngsters! I will admit it was a little startling in its Exorcist inspired possession scenes (most of all the opening scene). However, being a period Vampire seduction movie, it portrayed its titular menace quite smartly. Again relying on practical effects and cinematography to portray supernatural abilities. There's a bit of comfort in knowing in how he looks like and what he can do, and also exhibits the film's confidence in its titular character. The film is very appealing in its elaborate 18th century German streets, especially the streets with falling snow made the scenes quite beautiful to look at. Personally for now I do not feel as strongly about the film, however its ending left a touching, poignant impact, that just may make it a memorable albeit slightly anticlimactic film. Maybe could've benefitted from some good-old vampire hunting action. Still a good enough Robert Eggers movie. 7:00am 30.1.2025

Gotta say, gotta go fast for this one. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 may not have broken huge new ground in terms of its plot structure, but the role of Dr Robotnik by Jim Carrey ended soo beautifully, and poignantly, it left a very pleasant impression of the movie. This 3rd film Confirms it, "this" Sonic voiced by ben shwartz is his best when he's serious, angry or truly sincere. The jokes cracking is alright here and there especially with the insanely adorably Knuckles with Idirs Elba voice, comparing him with Shadow "much more impressive than the hedgehog I fought previously" but it usually gets a bit too much. It is easily over-shadowed by Sonic's serous, intense voice which he does really well! Keanu Reeves as Shadow certainly channeled his inner john wick. His pain was understandable, yet at times cant help but feel he just became the quiet villain sidekick. James Marsden with his ventriloquist dummy was tooo funny, and as usual he gives Sonic a lot of heart as his charming best friend! (He's always going to stay Scott Summers/Cyclops or the prince from Enchanted) But it all ends really good, in a huge scale super-powered battle which they really out did themselves. And the direct cliffhanger tease for the next movie was soooo good at end for Sonic meeting a rather attractive female hedgehog! Really builds appetite for the the 4th Sonic movie! 10:27am 30.1.2025

Finally watched The Substance tonight and it was a really good movie, with stunningly hot Margaret and even beautiful Demi Moore, and for the most part it was 8/10 except the last 20 minutes just made me a little too sad, dropping it to a 7/10. Maybe if the end wasnt so heartbreaking, painful and cynical. I watched it for Margeret Qualley and for as pretty as she was, the movie succeeded in making me not like her! Its always sad in these spiraling out of control stories... I must commend them even for a present day setting, they made it so 1990s in style with little to no allusions to present day pop culture! It helped in creating its own little fictionalized 21st century hollywood (and this mysterious drug). The camerawork was very good as well as the wardrobe for Margaret! She looked so pretty and hot! I really enjoyed it, just wish they ending could've been happier though that is just wishful thinking. The mystery still remains but I guess that was the movie. 4:14am - 4:24am, 18.1.2025

I can finally say unironically this is the first Venom movie that I actually liked. Just finished watching Venom: The Last Night since starting last night at 5:20am and the ending scene, once again had left me a bit emotional.... just had to skip the dumb dance scene. I had never expected so much heart in in its third film in the series, finally taking the main plot seriously really warranted genuine emotional investment into the story and Eddie and Venom's fate. The VFX may have been a little unrefined in several places but the supporting cast of Naydeen from Fargo looking actually pretty, the angry chitofel ejiofer and even the mildly african scientist girl who was fond of the symbiotes were sooo well portrayed!!! The locations also held strong meaning in relation to the wider context of the nature of the film. I cant tell you how cool the symbiotes were in this movie, it brought a huge glee to my face. Of course I was excited for it since the moment it was revealed in the trailer who the real villain was, which is beyond the scope of this film or any solo Marvel movie. The voices for the Symbiotes were tooo good and harrowing and I just loved the hippie family eddie took a ride with, the kids were so funny and touching and the daughter girl was very pretty, and Venom's kindness to the kids was hearttouching! 😭🖤 I shall remember this movie fondly, it is exponentially, way, way better than that last let there be garbage film... I did NOT expect this to be so good. 3:07pm 15.1.2015.

Just finished watching Sunshine overnight because after 28 Days Later, Trainspotting, T2 trainspotting i needed to see another Danny Boyle film. I must say it was very riveting even if the premise of literally going into the Sun is so harrowing and almost akin to suicide, but the movie makes the idea so plausible even though it would not be at all. The growing bleakness of the story was disheartening and despondent yet some of the characters' urge to see the extremely bright sunlight rather solar flare was so oddly compelling! The atmosphere of this ship was eerie and the last notes of the distress signal in the credits was quite chilling and thought-provoking.... I also forgot this movie was the originator of my most beloved movie ost "Amagio in D Minor" and it was played at the most beautiful and epic moments! Sad what happens to them but i suppose that was the mission... 😢 Rose Byrne was so pretty and cute and Cillian Murphy at end was so impactful! Impressive where the movie went in the last act. 9:22am 16.10.2024

Now that was a significantly better movie than Alien³ but sad 200 years passed... what the heck! *spoilers ahead* The alien Ripley baby was kind of cute with baby noises but had to be killed... The action was pretty good and Ripley clone was well done. Very sad the hot butt girl and the crew leader didn't make it... ☹ Ron Perlman was badass and had some really sensible lines and Sigourney Weaver was in good shape. Had some cringe moments especially because of horrible winona ryder acting that's supposed to be android but doesn't act anything like it, but overall really good Alien movie. 11:20am 12.8.2024

Such an Aesthetically pleasing film to watch with an adorable duo at it's heart of Chris Evans and cute Dakota Fanning. Finally I properly watched PUSH after years of watching it in bits on TV, there was always something so thought-provoking and cool about this movie that deeply attracted me to it. After watching several hundred anime, I realized this was as close to most sci-fi anime American movies can get. Namely Ghost in the Shell and Akira. The Hong Kong setting, the thoughtful theme music, and the cast especially Chris and Dakota meandering through the streets of Hong Kong was just Soo cool.... Don't even get me started on that extremely hearttouching and coolest romantic scene of Nick (Chris Evans) and his heartrendingly beautiful girl Kira. That scene with the music "Keep me paralyzed..." is the absolute triumph of this film. Watched August 4, 2024 5:00am - August 5, 2024 2:45am. It took me so insanely long because I was obsessed with taking screenshots of this very cool film against that beautiful Hong Kong aesthetic and ambient Matrix-esque greenish tint the movie had throughout!

Finally saw Deadpool & Wolverine a few hours ago, it is almost exactly what the fans of X-Men and Wolverine were waiting for. The action was insane, PHENOMENALLY COOL, BLOODY & BADASS filled with gore, the comedy may have gone a bit TOO overly profane and tedious by Deadpool, but when it did tasteful humor, the jokes and one-liners landed hard, the music was Sooo good & beautiful (the first fight theme reminded of Bleach OST "Battle Ignition") and used all that had come before as a very emotional (personally eye-teary) legacy of Deadpool and Wolverine's lives to mold their relationship and fates in this film. The movie was beyond pleasingly stacked with a gratuitous amount of these two together, and an incredible JAWDROPPING amount of cameos, ones you would NEVER expect, that you'd become confident to expect even those appearing that would seem impossible. Go into this movie with ZERO spoilers if you can!! Its the REAL Multiverse of Madness. Without spoiling anything this movie is a pseudo love letter and send off to what 20th Century Fox has done with Marvel and the X-Men with great appreciation and heartfelt embracement of what remains for the MCU. 2:20am 3.8.2024
