On my second watch, I realized just how much this movie relies on visual storytelling. The filmmakers didn’t resort to hand-holding the audience with dialogues, which means some subtle details could easily be missed with just the blink of an eye. However, these visuals were even more impressive the second time around, especially the Rock DJ sequences.

I’m staring at the screen, a cold sweat beading on my forehead, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest, caught in the agonizing dilemma of fight or flight. Instead, my mind freezes, while my trembling hand hesitates—each millimeter closer to the screen feels like stepping toward a cliff’s edge. Before me lurks my worst nightmare and my sworn enemy, an ever-present shadow in my life that has stolen my sleep ever since I first learned to type: that little, merciless, unforgiving “delete” button.

From watching the trailer of Sinners, I anticipated an exploration of the horror of America’s racial history, shedding light on the rich and complex past of Black people. What took me by surprise was how the film not only centered on that theme but also gracefully paid homage to blues music—an aspect I particularly loved. It captured the spirit of the blues exceptionally well, making it one of the remarkable sound and music experiences I've ever had in a cinema.

As a fan of Rami Malek, I was quite excited to watch this film. I had hoped it would lean more towards the geeky side, with an emphasis on coding and hacking. However, it still proves to be an enjoyable action thriller. One aspect that felt somewhat jarring, besides the plot holes along the way, was the character development. The protagonist transitions from a seemingly cowardly and fearful individual to a stone-cold killer who has conquered all his fears, which seems rushed.

If you're a fan of Jason Statham as an action star, you would likely enjoy this movie. However, from a screenplay perspective, the plot and story are quite weak. The first act is great, but then it goes off the rails, becoming merely average. Though it offers a few satisfying fight scenes, they’re not particularly memorable. This is a movie you can enjoy in the background, have fun with, and not overthink.

I believe the story could have explored the characters and the storylines more, but, sometimes, all we want is just some sweet and cute story filled with hope and joy like this. This movie certainly has great cast members that bounce off each other very well, making it wholesome and enjoyable.

Movies are often made to entertain, but occasionally they also serve as powerful political statements and forms of activism. The Seed of the Sacred Fig, directed by Muhammad Rasuloff, is one such film. It not only shed light on systemic violence, oppression, and resistance within Iran's regime but also weaves these elements into a compelling narrative. This is the movie that I hope will define the year— a work where filmmaking is both emotional and profound, making a statement while capturing hearts.

"In his memoirs, he described his designs as machines with no superfluous parts, that at their best, at his best, possessed an immoveable core; a "Hard Core of Beauty." A way of directing their inhabitant's perception to the world as it is. The inherent laws of concrete things such as mountains and rock define them. They indicate nothing. They tell nothing. They simply are." Brutalist is an impressive film with a captivating storyline.

Do not confuse fame with love. Fame will not hold you at night; it only pulls you into the spotlight, parading you around until you forget the feeling of a restful night. The warmth of the spotlight can never replace the warmth of someone's embrace. Better Man is one of the best biographical musical films I have ever watched. I love Rocketman, but Better Man is equally impressive, if not more so in some aspects.

The Red Envelope is an adaptation of a Taiwanese film, Marry My Dead Body, into a Thai movie. While I am not sure of the specific differences between the two versions, I find this adaptation humorous and filled with heartfelt moments. The storyline, though deserving of more depth and nuance, successfully delivers delightful comedy. Its charm primarily lies in the chemistry between the actors. The natural rapport between the leads, who have collaborated for over a decade, is undeniable.
