The Godfather's Brilliance: A Critical Appreciation
"The Godfather" is a cinematic masterpiece. With impeccable casting, writing, and directing, the film's brilliance shines through. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino deliver exceptional performances, supported by an outstanding cast. Even in my critical eyes it's a perfect ten, as it flawlessly captures the essence of power, family, and crime.

My Fair Lady
My Fair Lady is abuse, misogyny, and an alarming age gape all concealed in delightful musical numbers. Alas, despite these glaring flaws, it delights and warms the heart. Join Eliza, a poor flower girl, as she rises up in social ranking with the help of a berating phonetics professor, Henry.

Barbie Is Not A Masterpiece
In a world where blockbusters based on toys or other shiny pre-existing IPs rule the Cinelux, Barbie never takes itself seriously and even laughs and winks when it does. No Oscar bait here, but chances are the gold could have a pink lining this year, Thanks to Ms. America (Ferrera).

Hocus Pocus
Spooky season is almost here, and what is it without Winnifred, Mary, and Sarah? The perfect blend of goofy and fun with iconic characters and just enough heart to put a spell on you forever. Gary and Penny Marshall are icing on the cake. But the sequel is absolute garbage.

Oppenheimer Is A Masterpiece
Beautiful but long masterwork teaming with career best from those on screen and off. The story of scientific ambition at odds with realpolitik deserves praise in almost every major category. The masterpiece gets in its' own way, heightening personal dramas that pale in comparison to theo-philisophical implications of nuclear war.

Chit-Chatting About Champions
Hollywood respected Bobby Farrelly displayed stereotypical information targeting intellectual disabilities in the mass distributed feature “Champions”. Headlining Woody Johnson and Kaitlin Olson the routine conversation piece drags on for over two hours using a chit-chatting discussion style. Despite simple level script plot points, the sensitive subject matter is addressed respectfully.

Shallow Grave (1995)
Danny Boyle's debut film, starring Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston, Kerry Fox and Keith Allen, raises a morale dilemma. What would you do if you found a suitcase with £1m alongside your dead lodger. I'm guessing it wouldn't be to cut him up and bury him, then fight with each other.
