Sceners

 Despite being almost a century old and clocking in at 150+ minutes , this movie had no right being as engaging as it was. Like, seriously, this film pulled me in harder than my sleep schedule at 3 AM. I went in expecting black and white vibes, old-timey overacting, and a healthy nap. Instead, I got a visually stunning , thematically rich , and somehow still deeply relevant masterpiece. This isn't just "old cinema",  this is Cinema . Fritz Lang said, "Let there be vibes",  and there were vibes. From robot Maria slaying harder than your favorite pop star, to the massive cityscapes that look like someone snuck into the future with a film camera in 1927, everything screams ambition and artistry. I mean to be able to think, visualize, and create something of this scale in the early 1900s is in itself a reason you should give it a try.  And let's not pretend like this film isn’t the blueprint. You like sci-fi? Robots? Dystopias? Weird industrial soundtrack...

 I finally watched the movie everyone talks about and honestly, I get it now . It keeps you wondering where it is going and as soon as you start getting it, it changes the direction. It smoothly shows how the human civilization is influenced by external powers but it does not tell you the how of anything it just focuses on showing you the glimpse and leaves the imagination part to you. This is a movie that for the larger part of it keeps you wanting for more and somehow still give you everything you can possibly need from it . The cinematography and direction from Stanley Kubrick is phenomenal, the monkey sequence makes you wonder why am I watching this, the Monolith keeps you wondering about some bigger picture involved,  the HAL sequence makes you scared, the space sequence makes you think that you'll finally get some answers and the ending makes you search for part 2 which does not exist.   The only disadvantage from this is that its not everyone's cup of tea, you...

Okay, I watched Sinners the other day, and let me tell you, I was not ready for how good it actually was. For me, the best way to get into a movie is to watch it without any prior context. I thought I was just going in for a casual movie night (and for my princess Hailee), but this movie came in, grabbed me by the feelings, and said, “You’re staying till the credits, buddy.” The story? So dramatic, unique, and most of all sinful. I loved it. The acting? Chef’s kiss. Everyone brought their A-game. Especially Mr. Guy, oh Buddy — the casting for Old Sammie was impeccable. And the best part? The twists. Every time I thought I knew what was happening — boom! Plot twist. I was like, “Oh okay, I guess I don’t know anything. Please continue.” Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: Hailee Steinfeld was not in this movie. That was someone else, not my sweet, beautiful princess. Tragic, I know. But all jokes aside, the movie was really good. In the vampire dance ...
