Relics that multiply, revelations that arrive pre-believed, clones powered by medieval fan fiction, and a pope who exists only because the narrator says so.

I dropped a little bit of #KCookandCatsCo #cat lore in my #Bugonia review, which I am often doing.

The idea was that other cat-obsessed people might enjoy my #filmcriticism all the more bc of that shared interest.

So far, mixed results 😅

Is The New Zia Mohyeddin Documentary A Missed Opportunity For Cinematic Depth?

Can a movie about speed feel painfully slow? I break down why F1 left me cold, from its bloated runtime to weak character drama, despite slick racing sequences and Brad Pitt’s star power. Like, follow, & subscribe for more movie takes.

Some stories don’t need to be retold. They need to be re-aimed. From Good Night, and Good Luck to A Sound of Thunder, this is what happens when we mistake repetition for relevance.

#TheBikeriders wanted to be gritty and iconic but ended up slow and hollow. Great potential wasted on a film that thinks "vibes" can substitute for a plot. Am I supposed to pretend it wasn't boring just because everyone's wearing leather and brooding? #FilmCriticism #HotTake #MovieDiscourse

Four troubled young mothers face impossible choices in the Dardenne Brothers’ most humanistic, quietly devastating film in years—empathy without sentimentality, social realism at its sharpest. Now streaming on VoD. #Cinema #DardenneBrothers #FilmCriticism #HumanStories

Well #TheLongWalk is one the most brutal, emotionally raw adaptations I’ve seen in years. Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson absolutely tear your heart out.

Just watched 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. It completely ditches the survival horror formula for a feral, character-driven indie drama vibe. It’s looser than the villain's morals, but Ralph Fiennes makes it work.
