IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5691670 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/under-the-silver-lake-2018 A Masterpiece of Cinema, about Cinema This is one of the hardest movies I’ve ever needed to write about. This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. This blog post was originally written back in early January 2026 and I wanted to edit it because it was too “raw”, but I think the “rawness” of it fits the movie, so I just decided to release it almost as is, nearly untouched. ...

IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14205554 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/kpop-demon-hunters-2025 Better than I thought, worse than the hype made it out to be A friend wanted me to watch it (he did watch it before), and my curiosity made me agree to. Half an hour in, I genuinely wanted to stop but I never stop mid-movie, and in this case, I was right to continue. The movie does get better. So yeah… the first 30 minutes - basically the first act - are bad, nearly unwatchable, with bad (over-hectic) pacing, mediocre writing and forced jokes.

I have decided for the end of this year, to do a blog post where I recommend stuff I loved this year!

The “Project” Introduction I have decided for various reasons to start a rewatch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I have also decided to chronicle my watch-through of them by writing a blog post for every “Phase” of it. I might give up before the end of it (because it’s a lot of mostly mediocre movies), but even if I stop, I still think writing and releasing all my thoughts publicly might be interesting. ...

Joker (2019): IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7286456 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/joker-2019 Joker: Folie à Deux (2024): IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11315808 Trakt: https://trakt.tv/movies/joker-folie-a-deux-2024 Joker (2019) Todd Phillips makes one of the most political, mainstream movies ever, and when people agree with the political message, he then says that he didn’t make a political movie. It’s either cowardice or plain stupidity. It was also beautiful to see all the rich and pro-status quo idiots disagree and/or not get the political message of this. ...
