Wicked: For Good Review: An Epic Ending to a Unique Story
Wicked: For Good is directed by Jon Chu and stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. Wicked: Fort Good begins several years after the events of the previous installment. This passage of time allows certain characters to be more consolidated in their new role, which pushes the narrative towards the future. This is a significant change, since in Wicked a more leisurely pace was adopted so that the events had more space, while this time there is an obvious need for each event to have a noticeable impact on what will follow. It is evident that the reasons of the characters will not have the depth required for their actions to generate a more significant effect in the dramatic sense.

What Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto Really Reveals About Women’s Struggles in Islamic Cultures
You watched Apocalypto (2006) by Mel Gibson. On the surface, it is a story of tribal conflict, rituals, and choices that don’t feel like choices at all. But now imagine that the entire narrative is a metaphor for your own internal understanding of how the world works — where every location represents a feeling (danger, safety, comfort, trust, anxiety, calm, horror), and every character embodies one facet of your personality (what you believe in, how you think rationally, how you act, what dominates you internally, how you doubt, how you fear, how you elevate yourself).

review of Shutter Island
Personally, Shutter Island is one of my favorite movies. In short, it's about a U.S. Marshal who takes on a case at a mental hospital housing the most dangerous criminals with mental illnesses. The problem is that the hospital is on a remote island, and little by little, the marshal becomes entangled in situations that make him question even his own existence.

The Man on Fire: A Story of Love, Sacrifice and Redemption
The Man on Fire, released in 2004 by Tony Scott and starring Denzel Washington, is much more than just an action film. It is a poignant dive into the twists and turns of the human soul, where violence mixes with raw emotion and redemption takes shape in the simplest gestures. But at the heart of this gripping thriller, what stands out above all is the unique relationship that develops between bodyguard Creasy and young Pita, a kidnapped girl.

I rewatched Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012) serves as the conclusion to the massively popular franchise based on Stephenie Meyer's novels. Directed by Bill Condon, the film attempts to provide closure to the supernatural romance while delivering the spectacle audiences expected from a franchise finale. However, its execution reveals both the strengths and significant weaknesses that defined the series.

Bloodless movies are more disturbing
These days, there are so many movies that try to scare you with strong images, exaggerated effects, and gallons of blood. But, to be honest, many of those stories leave nothing behind. On the other hand, there are movies that show almost nothing and still manage to stay in your head. Those are the ones that truly disturb.
