Monkey Man (2024)
Almost a perfect 10
Seriously, I already had pretty high expectations after watching the trailer and hearing everyone's praise for the movie, but it still blew me away. Dev Patel is an amazing director, actor and storyteller! I don't know whether I like him more as a director or actor. Ever since I watched Slumdog Millionaire as a kid, I knew this man would be going places! The cinematography, the acting, the action, the direction, the drama, the comedy... I'M GAGGED! This man deserves all the flowers, all the praise, and I'm RUNNING to the cinema for his next film (and you should be too!).
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A MOVIE!
Some Kind of Heaven (2020)
Visually pleasing existential crisis
This documentary has been on my list for around 3 years, and I'm so glad I finally got down to watching it. I am only 20 years old, but this film really resonated with me. It was a mind-opening experience that plunged me further into my existential crisis, and which reaffirmed something that I had been in denial of- that nothing stays the same, and that I need to accept this as a fact and eventually embrace it. Though I did appreciate the beauty in this film, it did scare me, and I'm sure I'll be thinking about it and the concept of death further down the road- which is, of course, bittersweet, but a needed intervention.
Black Adam (2022)
Hot mediocre garbage
Horrible waste of time. The slow motion is tacky, the younger actors don't know how to act, and there's nothing even remotely interesting about this movie that'll consistently keep you on the edge of your seat.
Only redeemable element of this movie is Mo Amer, but he's not enough to lift it from the depths of its mediocrity.
Nothing about the superheroes felt new or exciting, it felt like recycled garbage with cinematography imitating that of bollywood films (but failing miserably).
Don't waste your time, money, or sanity having to sit through it. I was waiting for this movie to end the second it started.
