If you've seen many great psychological-horror film before ..., you've actually seen this film.

Nicolas Cage and sound design should get higher pay for carrying the unstoppably terrifying vibes throughout the whole film.

What if a slasher film is presented in an art house? This film was a flawed-but-brilliant answer to that.

It's been a long time since a Pixar film made me cry to heart ... which recently was this sequel Despite the overload of psychological concept and repetative plot (same as the first film), the film successfully balances the advanced psychology and imaginative narrative that everyone can easily learn and relate to the core of this emotionally complex theme.

It's a beautiful, insane, and ambitious mastercraft of epic action!! "Mad Max: Fury Road" is definitely among one of those films that will renew our faith in cinema.

"The Wind Rises" is undoubtly one of the most ambitious and beautiful hand-drawn animated films of all time!

One of the best anti-war anime films of all time!! Hayao Miyazaki's crafting is already masterful, even before Ghibli.

It's so depressed to watch, yet so philosophical to experience. One of the best conclusions in anime history.

Despite the overlong length and the plot which is pretty cliché love triangle story, the film definitely has beautiful visuals, splendid cast, smoothly great editing, and impressively sublime storytelling.

An ahead-of-its-time 70's thriller gem of cinema!! It's a smartly tense, furiously paced, and constant-hit-of-adrenalin masterpiece!! One of the greatest action-thriller films of all time, with the greatest car chase sequence I've ever seen.

Beside all the nightmarishly memorable spider-attack scenes, it's absolutely a missable B-movie. The confusion in presentation of its hidden message & storytelling is near-chaos. The film takes itself too seriously and too subtly, which makes the hidden message easily overlooked, ignored, or, worse ... stupidly annoying because it was put in out of nowhere.

"Robot Dreams" is a great cinematic example of how impeccably silent storytelling is when it's rightfully expressed and subtly told to hit the core of emotions in such an unexpected way.

"Boogie Nights" definitely is the greatest period-drama film about the Golden Age of Porn I've ever seen!

Breathtakingly beautiful animation! Sadly, the musical scenes get in the way of the narrative, but if you're here for astounding images, highly recommended!

A political sci-fi at its finest!! Undoubtedly, it's one of the sequels that's better than the first ones, for sure.

An extraordinarily unusual dark-comedy drama film. Undoubtedly, this isn't only Martin McDonagh's best film, but also his most compassionate film, with breathtakingly Oscar-level performances by Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, and Sam Rockwell.

A classic 80's comedy gold! Not a masterpiece, but an undeniably classic zany-comedy film with unstoppably legendary airport gags that no other film could ever achieve! The first half is kinda alright, until the second half, which serves me a bunch of great visual comedy that makes me laugh like a perfect made-my-day film. PS: Leslie Nielsen was on top form in every scene he's in. The purely legendary comedic actor.

It's gorgeously odd, wickedly unpretentious, and amazingly mastercrafted! It successfully manages an overload of weirdness into a perfectly weird dark-comedy sci-fi masterpiece.

Generic narrative & pretty touching on human parts, but very special on Godzilla parts!! Yamazaki's Godzilla is brilliantly terrifying, like an uncontrollable rage of nature!!

Great dry laughter in beautiful minimalist. A truly satirical European rom-com masterpiece by Aki Kaurismäki.

Not great, and not bad either. Phoenix, Kirby, and Scott certainly do a great job, but the narrative in the screenplay is pretty disconnected in emotion.

It might sound impossible to get a happy and heartwarming mood from the Evangelion franchise, but here it is. "Evangelion: 2.22 you can (not) advance." is basically a brightful remake event that has only a simple screenplay but is masterfully well-crafted in narrative, with a fast-paced, spot-on soundtrack, incisive editing, and great animation.

Hayao Miyazaki basically creates a great tribute to his own masterpieces both in the past and now.

The film kinda confuses in itself of which direction it need to go. However, it's heartwarmingly fun and good coming-of-age animated film for all **** might be odd to see Adam Sandler gives life's advices to kids, but he has gone through a tough life in "Uncut Gem" before..., so I guess it's worth for listening.

A great cold-killer film, but sadly, it's not a masterpiece for me. Apart from the great-as-always directing of David Fincher, I personally think the way Fincher trying to blend some philosophic elements in this cold-killer film is kinda lack of harmonization. However, all the killer's moments beautifully kill!! And it's deserved a standing ovation like Fincher already (awkwardly) got at the 80th Venice International Film Festival

An amazingly spellbinding perfection!! Sofia Coppola crafts one of the most distinctively sublime biopic, with the solid faithfulness in perspective like a true master of cinema. Undoubtly, if "Lost in Translation" is Sofia Coppola's #1 best film of her directing career..., "Priscilla" will certianly place right behind it as her #2 best!!

Martin Scorsese crafts this unfold-dark-side historical crime drama film with all his 60-years filmmaking skills like the true greatest filmmakers (who he always is!!) This masterpiece is 3 hours and 26 mins long but it honestly feels like a two-and-half hour only?!! Crazy isn't it? That's Scorsese for you!!There's not any moments in film feel waste or worthless, every scenes and every cuts are crafted thoughtfully and precisly. Scorsese style still is packed in full here, but I myself find his style disturb a bit toward the will of this film by accidentally turning element in some scenes to look like a crime entertainment. However, all actors, screenplay, editing and cinematography are stunningly amazing!! Oh man, I'm quite sure that "insuline" scene will stuck in my head for the years. It's so great yet pathetic️

Although it obviously has terrible script, the Steven Spielberg still can direct every on-screen images to look stunningly spectacle and impressively jaw-dropping like a real wizard of Hollywood!!

”Anatomy of a Fall” is a great narrative of witnessing a fall of family’s relationship with effective satire, heavy-feeling drama and pure entertainment!! A great dialogue-driven drama film, with all amazingly great actors, confidently precis directing, a bit overstreched but looks great in overall.

You're not gonna believe me... but I really do think "Saw X" is undeniably one of the most satisfying & best modern slasher sequels of all time!! They literally turns the legendary "Jigsaw Killer" into an anti-hero slasher film with highly horrific production designs and top-notch narrative in drama, almost nearly A24-esque **** same as all iconic traps in Saw franchise, this film still keeps all cruel death traps like all previous film, but just this time, it feels so thrilled and satisfying like the taste of a rich (bloody) red vine. Unfortunately, the script and narrative for plot twist aren't much effective and well-made like "Saw" (2004). I personally think the flaw in this part nearly ruin every perfect things that whole film is always well-achieved.However, this film still remains its greatness and perfections in gross and guts like no other modern slasher sequels ever achieved! Lastly, if this film is the last role for Tobin Bell as "The Jigsaw Killer", I'm so confident to say this is a perfect farewell of him. Bro, this film literally brings the best of him to stay nearly on the same level as John Wick!! He's so **** COOL🫨

Despite the mid script and not success as a masterpiece, Gareth Edwards successfully brings a lean Epic sci-fi war to the audiences to be immersed like an experience that will forever embarrass all of the waste-100-million-budget films from now on.

This film will absolutly make a bunch of impact to all couples who stuck in the past with treasured promises that will never become true.

I think my scarriest horror film of 2023 finally existes...

Really well-paced, great dark humour and very heartfelt zombie-romantic film. The director totally nailed the balance of dark comedy, horror, and romantic. Chemistry between Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer was romantically on point! Unfortunately, the conclusion part was a bit too-optimistic but beside that, the rest was fine and fun!! PS. You don't need to be necrophiliac before enjoying this film, just so you know

The real disaster in form of the timeless-classic "GODZILLA". Beside the meh script, Gareth Edwards visualized Godzilla in the most realistic yet cinematic EPIC like no other ever achieved!!

Brilliantly dark comedy, masterful narrative, and containing one of the most powerfully heartfelt moral of the story for every generations I've ever seen!! "Nimona" is a must-see animated film that everyone should never be hesitated to watch!

Horrifying yet strongly romantic!! Luca Guadagnino truly is the master of romantic film of our generation. The tenderness and subtleness in romance of Luca Guadagnino's immersive directing still remains like no-one ever achieved in this film!! Sadly, I felt some flaws in balance of horror and romance for a few scenes, and the love feeling in Taylor Russell's acting was kinda lack while Timothée Chalamet's acting was subtly brilliant. So it took me awhile to completely feel the love from this couple even in the scenes that showed they were completely in love with each others. However, Guadagnino's directing on both horror and romantic sequences are solid like a gem! It successfully makes me blushing and bloodcurdling at the same time, with the beauty of natural-light cinematography, well love-story devolopement, and gore to the guts mercilessly.

Starting with dark comedy, enjoying great action and crazy stylish transitions at the middle, and getting stunned by the darkest ending I could ever imagine. "Oldboy" truly is the (sadistic) magnum opus of Park Chan-wook.

Lust in the lean suspense of the masterfully well-crafted cinematic narrative. The last masterpiece from Stanley Kubrick.

The bravest political satire dark comedy film ever made!! Still enjoyable and hilarious even 59 years later. In 60's, people had been worrying about Cold War and was consumed by fear of a nuclear conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States. Right on that very same decade, Stanley Kubrick brought this dark comedy film to the world and satirized the Cold War in the most extreamly frank yet ridiculously fun as much as he could craft perfectly.

I personally sited this film as the greatest sequel action-spy film for reseting entire franchise and establishing the precis theme for all later sequels I've ever seen! Great plot, brilliantly outmaneuvered screenplay, perfect balance of intense espionage and thrilled-action entertainment, cleverly introducing of the new (charmful) character, and masterful storytelling. Lastly, watching Tom Cruise outdid stunt by himself properly is the cherry on top.

”Dead Reckoning - Part One” has proofed McQuarrie and Cruise still have much more memorable thrilled-action sequences in their heads to pump the adrenalin of joyful intensities in cinema like no other action franchises could ever achieved!

Photography is truth. The cinema is truth 24 times per second. So is the beauty of Anna Karina and Godard style. The narrative was flaw as usual like many expermental films, yet the Godard style was strongly flooded in here. His political views, nonlinear narrative, handheld camera and absolutely, his thoughts of existentialism. However, I honestly am unpleasure with sound recording & mixing in this film, it's just too hard to ignore or overlook of how bad and unnatural it was. The actings were neither natural, but, thankfully, the editing was on point and plus, camera work was pretty fine, some scenes even looked gorgeous like a gem in B&W. Speaking of gorgeous B&W images, Anna Karina looked stunning through black-and-white cinematograghy in this film. Every scene she's on screen, she would immediately be a queen of the scenes. In other words, I'm so glad to see Godard literally used the real magic of cinema on his wife successfully.

Imagine you gather 3 world famous actors and the film still is bland completely, so this film is more like ROASTED Notice then Red Notice.

It's pretty weird stop-motion mockumentary, but it purely is a heart-touching film. Marcel literally embraced me like a true homie, heartwarmingly and tenderly.

They literally bring the most iconic antagonists from Godzilla franchise just for crash grab and absolutely waste of their potentials.

I think people who had asked Rowan Atkinson for returning to his legendary Mr. Bean..., they should watch this film and reconsider about that again, again and again, carefully.

Bold and bang to tears!! Quentin Tarantino insanely creafted his nostalgically great love letter to the golden age of silverscreen.

A bit too long but still, LMAO throughout whole film. Really unmissable satire film.

My heart was embraced with warmness. Such a great nostalgic final film for Redford. Goodbye, Robert Redford.
