100 METERS (2025)

Very good movie. Really liked the message at the end: It doesn't matter who wins, life is a pain in many ways but to do the thing you love you must forget the harsh reality and feel what's ahead of you with your heart and not your brain.

4/5 ⭐️

Sin City (2005)

This movie hit the perfect equilibrium. The art style lends perfectly to the over-the-top nature of the stories, personalities and action. The performances are the best part. Bruce Willis kills it, but hell if every role wasn't perfectly cast.

4/5 ⭐️

Man of Tai Chi (2013)

Okayish flick. Keanu as a bad guy is a weird choice. It kind of felt like he spent the entire movie being amused to himself about the very idea of it. Tiger‘s whole thing of being secretly groomed by Keanu into being a killer was well done, though.

3/5 ⭐️

Ikiru (1952)

A solid film but definitely not one of my favorites from Akira Kurosawa's filmography. The ending of the movie was just a mistake and tried to bite off more than it could chew. I don't want to end up like the main character, but I probably will some day.

3/5 ⭐️

High and Low (1963)

I really love this film, especially the part where detectives are discussing the case, the way they go through the whole case, reach some dead ends and find new leads, i never knew someone could direct conversations that well.

4.5/5⭐️

Casino Royale (1954)

The first screen adaptation of Ian Fleming's character of James Bond, and one of the three "Non-Canon" Bond films in the Franchise. Pretty lame first outing imo. It’s worth watching as an historical document once and then filed away.

1.5/5 ⭐️

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)

Okay sequel. The Eva Green story was the best one but still rather predictable (I like Josh Brolin but Clive Owen was better as Dwight) despite Eva Green delivering a good performance. Joseph Gordon Levitt's story went really nowhere.

3/5 ⭐️

Scary Movie (2000)

Pretty good. Some of the humor doesn't hold up, some does. This came at the time where parody movies had not yet been run into the ground, and a lot of the tropes/cliches that they lampshaded in this movie were, for the time, very clever and very funny.

4/5⭐️

Loved 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026). The tonal balance shines: Sir Jimmy’s near-mythic evil contrasts perfectly with Kelson’s optimism. The Iron Maiden finale is pure adrenaline. Spike remains dull, though. Still excited for Part 3.

Lustmord (1987)

Ecstasy transforming into self-destruction.
Creating a reality where freedom becomes suffering, and joy fades into insanity.

3/5⭐️

Evil Dead Trap (1988)

What do you get if you combined Dario Argento and David Cronenberg - one of the craziest japanese slasher films ever!

4/5⭐️

Re-Wind (1988)

More or less a hardcore pornographic version of Peeping Tom (1960).

3.5/5⭐️

Scary Movie 2 (2001)

Not as good as the 1st one but still good.
It has my favorite opening scene of all the Scary Movie movies. And the basketball skit scene always has me in tears 😂

3.5/5⭐️

Love Letter in the Sand (1988)

The wetness in this movie was so miserable and gross that I just wanted to dry off all the humidity off my skin after watching.

2.5/5⭐️

Tomie (1998)

The most positive thing I can say about this movie is that I want to read the Junji Itō manga that its based on. It seems like an impossible task to adapt Junji Itō's works properly.
