Smile 2: The Art of Cheating Storytelling

When it’s all about adrenaline rush, jumping off your chair or, like my friend, screaming at the top of his lungs and kicking the front seat, with innovative build up for intense jump scares, then ”Smile 2“ delivers, but at what cost? It follows a pop star named Skye Riley, portrayed by Naomi Scott, and directed by Parker Finn. This franchise began as a short film, “Laura Hasn’t Slept”, premiering

‘The Substance’, an open debate.

The Substance, a popular film directed by Coralie Fargeat, was my 2024 WTF cinema moment. It's by no means a bad movie, but if one takes the time to reflect on it and replays everything that occurs in their mind a few times, the plot appears to be at least questionable. I want to start a debate on two different topics: the film's deep critique and a more technical one regarding a significant narra

The Pain of Progress: Why CRIMES OF THE FUTURE Still Cuts Deep in 2024

Though it premiered in 2022, David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future feels eerily more relevant today. As we continue to face worsening environmental crises, groundbreaking advancements in biotechnology, and intensifying cultural divisions, this dystopian masterpiece serves as both a cautionary tale and a dark meditation on humanity’s future. In Cronenberg’s imagined world, the human species has e

Can We Talk About the School Club Fair in Didi?

When I was in high school, I took video production classes as electives. Every year, we had to make a music video. Our sets were confined to the high school and our homes. Our casts were almost all teenagers. Our music videos frequently wound up with themes like bullying, mental health, and parents divorcing. These are all vital topics. I doubt any of my old classmates would deny that, but, at the

What Kind of an American are You, Civil War, 2024

What Kind of an American are You? In Alex Garland's Civil War (2024), the U.S. is plunged into an internal war between a dictatorial president clinging to power, and a group of states that have decided to rebel against tyranny. To avoid pointing the finger if they are Republicans or Democrats, the leaders of the rebel alliance are two states - Texas and California - that have historically elected

Paradox between bad and worse.

A low budget is no excuse... With the false promise of being a necessary addition to the board of great disruptive works like Divergent and The Maze Runner, I was seduced by my insatiable search for films that allow me to continue spinning the development of analyses on the themes of the mind, personality, and the most intrinsic human realities.... so when I stumbled upon such a review, and a so c

The most WTF neo-western ever

Just like the Coen brothers decided to adapt Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men, rookie director Francis Galluppi implemented topics such as greed and human beings' weird nature in his debut film, which was so brilliantly calculated as surprisingly unexpected, and turned into an absolute achievement instead of just a cheap copy. He represents the accomplishment of the dream of any aspiring d

What?! They actually made a GOOD Transformers adaptation?

As I walked out of the theater, I could hardly believe what I had just seen. After so many years, it seemed the unthinkable had finally happened… Transformers One was an adaptation worthy of the franchise! The (massive) Transformers phenomenon To understand why this movie feels like a miracle, we need to travel back several decades and grasp why Transformers is such an important franchise. It all

Twisters: Another covert remake?!

In the last decades we have been able to see how Hollywood is increasingly betting in safe with sequels, prequels, remakes, spin offs, etc. But recently it is going further, releasing sequels that "pay homage" to the original so much that they become practically a covert remake. I don't know which movie was the pioneer in this, but I'm pretty sure that the culprit for the spread of this practice i
