The Count of Monte Cristo (2024)

What would you do if someone ruined your life, leaving you in pain for years, and then one day, you came into a great fortune? Would you forgive and move on, or would you let your anger take over and use that wealth to get revenge?

This movie hooks you right from the start and doesn’t let go for its entire runtime. It’s one of those rare films that keeps you on edge the whole way through. The visuals are stunning, with lighting, sets, and costumes that perfectly capture the 19th-century vibe. The cast is amazing, with every performance bringing something special to the story.

The adaptation makes some smart changes, simplifying the book’s plot without losing what makes it great. You still get all the romance, adventure, and intense emotions. And at its core, the film delivers a timeless message: revenge might feel satisfying, but it’s rarely the right move. That’s the beauty of stories like this—they’re meant to be told, retold, and experienced over and over again.

Gladiator II (2024)
Directed by Ridely Scott

In the first ten minutes of the film, a key character's loved one is killed, and the audience is expected to connect deeply with their grief despite having only one brief scene to establish their bond. This level of shallow writing sets the tone for the rest of the movie.

Was I entertained? Yes, I was. But entertainment and spectacle alone aren’t enough to support a sequel to such an iconic film. While the physical sets and production design are stunning, the movie heavily relies on telling rather than showing, diminishing its emotional impact.

It's nearly impossible not to compare this sequel to the original, as it borrows so much from it—the structure is nearly identical, and the characters feel like lesser imitations of the iconic ones from the first film.

Ridley Scott's reputation as one of the greatest directors of all time remains untarnished. What he’s achieved in his career truly echoes in eternity, but this sequel doesn’t live up to the legacy of its predecessor.

All We Imagine as Light (2024)
Directed by Payal Kapadia

This film explores the lives of three women in Mumbai: one grappling with loneliness and feeling trapped, another swept up in the impulsive freedom of youth and love, and a third facing the harsh realities of gentrification. Each woman’s story is thoughtfully crafted with deeply resonant character arcs.

While many acclaimed filmmakers have portrayed the loneliness and struggles of life in a big city—creating timeless classics beloved by cinephiles—All We Imagine as Light brings a fresh and distinct voice to this genre.

We watch films for different reasons—some for pure entertainment, others as a means of escape. For me, films are about immersing myself in new stories and emotions. With this movie, I wandered the streets of Mumbai, followed a young Hindu nurse disguising herself in a burka to infiltrate a neighborhood for the Muslim man she loves, traveled to a seaside village where another woman contemplates her future, and experienced so much more. The film offers a glimpse into lives that feel both fleeting and genuine, rendered with a filmmaker’s grace and empathy—a gentle reminder of our shared humanity.

Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy all kinds of movies. But the ones that resonate most with me are those that take me to places I could never experience myself, allowing me to live inside stories of other worlds. Movies like this remind me that while our differences may appear significant, our universal humanity is boundless.

Transformers One (2024)

This is an animated movie that shows the origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron and how they became leaders of two factions in a never ending war. I liked seeing how Megatron fell from being happy and friends with Optimus to being enemy's but it did feel a little rushed. While their characters are well-written and developed, their transformations felt rushed, making the emotional depth less convincing.

I also found it weird that they never mentioned the name Bumblebee but using Badassatron was pretty funny instead.

Alien: Romulus (2024)

Alien: Romulus brings the ALIEN franchise back to its roots: Scary creature on a spaceship slowly killing everyone on board.

In shows like Star Trek and Star Wars, the aliens are about as alien as meeting someone from a foreign country. Harmony and understanding can be achieved with an open-minded discussion and a universal translator to get you over the language barrier. H. P. Lovecraft and the Alien franchise shows what it would be like to encounter beings that do not merely have a different culture. They are not us in ANY sense. They are so different that we have no way to grasp their motives, how they see the world, or how they see us. True aliens.

Trap (2024)
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan

The film follows a really engaging timeline, making you feel like you’re simply trailing Josh Hartnett’s character as the night unfolds. It’s like you’re an omniscient presence hovering just over his shoulder. It was a fun experience, and I absolutely loved it.

Josh Hartnett is fantastic in this! There are so many moments where he acts strangely, and then another character comments on it, prompting him to act even weirder to cover it up, all done brilliantly through subtle facial tics.

The emotional beats really hit hard, and it’s strange to find yourself siding with the character who’s clearly the villain. You almost end up rooting for the butcher at every turn.

Blink Twice (2024)
Directed by Zoe Kravitz

A good directorial debut by Zoe Kravitz!

However, the movie is basically a Saltburnification of Don’t Worry Darling wrapped in Promising Young Woman.

I wish they didn't change the title from Pussy Island to Blink Twice... Pussy Island was a really good movie title for this.

Red Rooms (2023)

A totally twisted, pitch-black study of obsession in the digital age that goes places it knows it shouldn't.

The long take in the court room at the beginning was impressive and had flawless acting. The dialogue was on point. Great acting all around. Pretty much the whole movie I kept thinking it was going in an obvious predictable way but not at all, it changed course a couple times.

Never actually showing the videos was the right choice, let imagination run it's course. Hearing the stories of the three girls through dialogue and seeing the character's reactions is better and maybe even more horrifying than anything they could have shown us through video.

It perhaps gets a little too ambicious in the second half and will probably lose a few but i'm satisfied with the end result. Very tense third act.

It is at times a strong sociological experiment to tackle those who have an admiration for deranged killers but in essence, it’s all about the obsessive behavior of our leading lady (Kelly-Anne, who is phenomenal by the way, excellent performance) to expose the deconstruction of the truth. Behind this quest for justice and truthfulness, there’s an analysis to make concerning sensationalism. It’s also normal to feel angry, troubled, and thunderstruck by a case like this. But it’s also macabrely inquiring to find a logic behind the unthinkable.

No need to read between the lines to understand that it is spellbinding study of Kelly-Anne's psyche on why she is obsessed with the case. The whole narrative confronts the unsettling, unfiltered and unflinching reality of human allure all being exposed with the light theme of a courtroom.

Rebel Ridge (2024)

A fantastic adaptation of a JACK REACHER novel that was never written.

It’s rare to find a modern movie without any unjustified sex scenes, excessive bloodshed, or forced attempts to include certain themes. Instead, this film focuses on outstanding acting, gripping drama, and delivers a powerful message.

Though the ending felt a bit sudden, I still thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
