Valentine's Day used to be Hollywood's golden window for releasing tender and heartwarming love stories that would make us believe in love again. However, fast-forward to 2025, this tradition has been completely rewritten. The only major release this Valentine's Day is Captain America: Brave New World. What does a superhero movie have to do with romance? It seems movie studios have decided that love is no longer in demand, and armored heroes saving the world are a safer commercial bet. Over the

I'm Still Here is the first Brazilian-produced movie to receive a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards. Although it is an underdog to win the Oscar, the movie itself is a passionate look at political injustices and the difficulty one has in moving on through uncertainty. It's themes of time passing and what remains of memory reminded me of my favourite poem, Four Quartets by T. S. Eliot. In the poem, Eliot struggles with the concept of time and our place in it. In I'm Still Here, the ma
Played with incredible subtlety by Yura Borisov, Igor from Anora is not only one of the most magnetic presences in the Palme d’Or-winning film directed by Sean Baker, but he might also be the only man I’d want to date—on-screen or off. As Valentine’s Day approaches and I reflect on modern romance, I find myself irresistibly drawn to Igor, a man who embodies the kind of qualities that feel almost mythical in today’s world. To put it bluntly: I’ve been done with real-life men for a while. Like man
JennMaxwell: I love Igor as a character, he's so well written and complex. and Yura Borisov's performance was unbelievable.
As a horror film lover, I've always been fascinated by the two most iconic renditions of Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Brian Cox in “Manhunter” and Anthony Hopkins in “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Red Dragon.” While Hopkins' performance is often hailed as the definitive version, I would argue that Cox's interpretation in the oft-overlooked “Manhunter” is actually the more compelling and psychologically authentic of the two. It's this chilling realism that makes Cox's Lecktor my personal pick for the gr
There is something disturbingly fascinating about Dexter Morgan. Yes, he is a serial killer. Yes, he has a troubling fondness for knives and plastic wrap. But, against all moral logic, we end up rooting for him. Because Dexter is not just a series about a psychopath with forensic skills; it is a brilliant experiment in making an audience support someone who, in any other story, would be the monster to defeat. But let’s take it one step at a time just as our dear Dexter would. From the very first
If you’re a flickaholic like me, chances are you spotted the many cinematic nods in The Substance before the credits even rolled. And if you didn’t? Well, don’t worry… I’m here to obsess over them for both of us. I might be late to the frame-freak party, but if there’s one film from last year that deserves my first-ever review, it’s this grotesque, gorgeous, and gloriously unhinged masterpiece. So, to all my fellow shot spotters, pause philosophers. let’s dive in! We’re about to dissect every re
Uno lee que Un dolor real, de Jesse Eisenberg, fue elogiada y que también fue a festivales y que ganó premios. Y que es nominada a otros premios y que gana algunos más. Y que vuelve a ser nominada a los premios más famosos, creo que en la categoría de guión, pero no pienso chequear eso para no sumar más asombro a la estupefacción. Se habla de que el guion es muy bueno, y que las actuaciones también. Y leo y escucho diversos elogios a esta película dirigida por Jesse Eisenberg, un actor que ha pa
As the third installment of the beloved British franchise, Paddington 3: The Lost Expedition sets out to wrap up the journey of the little bear with the red hat through an international quest to find his roots. While the film continues the warm and comforting tone of its predecessors, its rushed storytelling, inconsistent character development, and underwhelming villain make this adventure feel anticlimactic. Despite its moments of humor and heartfelt emotions, the final chapter ultimately comes
Ghosts and nightmares surround Pedro Páramo. The novel Pedro Páramo was published in 1955, and as Mexican author Juan Rulfo’s (1917 – 1986) representative work, it’s also considered ‘one of the pinnacles of Latin American novels’. Its non-linear chronology, ghostly perspectives, and innovative narrative made Susan Sontag proclaim it “not only a masterpiece of the 20th-century, but one of the most influential books of the century”. Gabriel García Márquez also praised it, saying there’d be no One
For many months, director Brady Corbet's third movie was on everyone's lips, a monumental American epic that many described as "the cinematographic event of the year." Even though I didn't jump on the bandwagon at the time, or rather wasn't on board—as a nod to our protagonist's initial arrival in American lands—the first minutes filled me with enthusiasm in a way I hadn't experienced for a long time. I felt I was witnessing something on the big screen much greater than I had imagined. A perfect
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is at a crossroads. Gone are the days when Tony Stark could fly in with a flashy suit or when Steve Rogers could effortlessly wield his shield, saving the world with a single toss. Now, with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans ’ departures, we’re left with a roster of superheroes who are either getting a little too old for this game or scrambling to stay relevant in a world that’s rapidly changing. And then there’s the question: what happens when Captain America
