Old (2021)
8/10
Flawed, but very enjoyable
26 July 2021
Old is, at many points, a very flawed movie. The pacing of how old people actually got was done by prioritizing convenience over what would really happen. There is one scene that, while entertaining, is unnecessary and doesn't really fit. The dialogue is also fairly unrealistic at times. However, even though from a technical perspective this movie is not the greatest, i still really loved it. It is extremely entertaining and original and his signature twist does not disappoint. Overall, not Shyamalan's best, but far from his worst and hopefully a return to form and a sign of good things to come.

Joker (I) (2019)
9/10
A modern masterpiece
14 November 2019
I went to see this movie a couple of weeks ago expecting a decent movie. However, after I came out of the theater I was shocked at the level of dedication needed to play the Joker. Joaquin Phoenix had to lose a ton of weight until he was basically skin and bone and play a convincing slide into insanity. His acting is so amazing that you forget that you are even watching a movie at all, and it is so mesmerizing to watch his new take on the Joker. This movie was engaging all the way through and had a perfect ending to match. What a fantastic movie.
