MY HONEST OPINION

I remember I was really excited when I first heard about this film being announced, especially since Ana de Armas was going to take the role of Marilyn. At that time, I couldn't even imagine her playing Marilyn. When I saw the first images of her for the film, I was honestly shocked at the resemblance. It's like if Ana had actually summoned Marilyn Monroe's spirit to take over her body. It's just impressive how she embodies…

"This time, the monsters are real."

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island is the film that broke the formula, and revolutionised a franchise that was becoming stale. As much as I treasure the classic Scooby-Doo show, we have to admit that it is quite formulaic and predictable. Nothing supernatural actually happens, everything has a rational explanation. It's always the same in almost every single episode. The gang goes to a new place where there's some kind of monster, ghost, demon or evil…

Urchin is a raw, compassionate, and unflinchingly realistic portrayal of addiction and societal struggle, focusing on a homeless young man struggling with addiction and poverty on the streets of London. Mike is quite a complicated character because sometimes you want to punch him in the face, other times you just want to hug him; a character that makes the worst choices and fucks everything up every time he has the chance, but there's a sparkle of hope that things could…

My heart ached every time they cut down a tree.

Unfortunately, I watched Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life a couple of weeks ago, so this one was obviously not going to impress me, as it clearly takes a lot of inspiration from Malick's work but isn't quite as profound or emotionally impactful. Don't take me wrong, I don't think this is a bad film at all; on the contrary, it is a thoughtful, beautifully crafted film that provides a…

"I'd kindly and respectfully execute you."

I'm still not sure if this was meant to be funny or to be taken seriously, because for the most part it feels like it takes itself very seriously, and then they throw in one of those awful lines that come off as either cringe-worthy or - unintentionally - hilarious, but the tone is so inconsistent that you don't get to appreciate those comedic moments as something authentic. In fact, the worst aspect of…

Me after watching this film:
I sincerely hope I never have kids.

This film got me off guard. I never expected it to make me feel so uneasy.

This film is carried the most by its incredibly talented ensemble of young actors/ actresses. I was genuinely terrified of these kids.

It's beautifully shot, atmospheric and chilling. It creates lots of tension and suspense. The sound design is magnificent. The premise is intriguing. The setting is used to enhance these dark…
