“I need more morphine, man. It’s not enough. I’m telling you, it’s not enough.” —Joseph Quinn as Sam—

One place, One mission.
Two squads, Two wounded soldiers.

A24 Alex Garland’s movie! Truly intense.
It definitely reminded me of Saving Private Ryan—but let’s be honest, “SPR” still stands on another level. Spielberg’s film had an emotional weight and sharper character. Warfare 2025 isn’t quite there, but it does have its own edge. It’s tighter, more focused, more about the ticking clock than the…

“Bob, I’m here. You’re not alone. We’re here. You’re not alone. [DAMN! That really triggered me!😭] ” —Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova—

—[What the hell, Marvel?!!
Normally, I came for action, not to unpack trauma. 
But now I’m crying over a superhero’s backstory.]—

MARVEL IS BACK!!!
Thunderbolts* truly hit me harder than I expected. Every single cast : Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova; Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes; Julia Louis as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine; Lewis Pullman as Robert Reynolds; David…

“Know you can take care of yourself, but it sometimes helps to have friends with influence. Something you will learn.” —Peter Ferdinando as Dennis Spencer—

•••MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH•••

I’ve seen a lot of prison films with chaos, violence, gang wars, and personal struggles. But “Starred Up” feels completely different. It’s intense and raw. Really! Truly didn’t expect a prison film to hit this hard emotionally. The script is so bold and out of the box. It’s full of violence,…

“Maybe with good luck we'll find what eluded us in the places we once called home.” —Jeffrey Wright as Roebuck Wright—

—Before THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME—

I really wanted to enjoy this one, but it just didn’t land the way Wes Anderson’s other films usually do for me. Visually, it’s stunning. Every frame is wonderful, with his usual precision. But as the stories went on, I felt more impressed than actually connected. The anthology format made it harder to care, and…

“Last time I seen my brother. Last time I seen the sun. And just for a few hours.. we was free.” —Michael B. Jordan as Stack/Smoke—

[This was my last movie for May, and honestly, what a way to close the month.]

Ryan Coogler really cooked with this movies. The concept feels fresh. The execution feels even fresher. His style, his direction, and the care he puts into telling a story with depth. It’s emotional and a perfect blend of…

“We live and die in the shadows for those we hold close and for those we never meet.”—Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt—

•••after more than two weeks of avoiding spoilers and trying to find the right time—work schedule priority, I finally watched it•••

First of all. Let’s talk about my special cameos—“MINDHUNTER” and “TED LASSO” mentioned here! 
Hannah Waddingham (my Ted Lasso’s queen!) and especially Holt McCallany (my Detective From Mindhunter!). Seeing them in this franchise? Loved it. Just… perfect! 🫶🏻…
