I’ve never been the biggest fan of horror movies. Not that they scare me to the point of passing out or anything, but I’ve never gleaned any joy or fear from those movies. There’s the rare Ringu now and then, but those are few and far between. So when I caught a look at Talk …
With Christopher Nolan releasing his latest feature “Oppenheimer” in cinemas, it felt appropriate to rank his movies from his debut feature to his latest one. 12. Dunkirk Yes, I’m one of the few weirdos that found Christopher Nolan’s World War II movie to be his weakest film to date. I can praise Dunkirk for a …

Why Fast X? “Why are you even watching the Fast & Furious movies?”, a friend of mine asked when I invited him for Fast X. Good question. Easy answer. Yes, they’re ridiculous and they have no logic. But at their best, they’re mindless, energetic fun. As I grow old, I need those kind of movies …
“Another remake!! Is Hollywood out of original ideas?” The usual question popped up after a slew of reboots were announced over the past couples of months.
