Sly - Film Review
The way Sylvester Stallone speaks is iconic. Something went wrong during his birth and a small part of his face became paralyzed, which would permanently hinder his articulation. But it turns out: the actor appears to lower his voice slightly in films to appear tough, and when he speaks with his real, higher voice he is a lot more intelligible!

You Were My First Boyfriend - Review
The main theme is the experience of parasocial relationships as a teenager. Think of falling in love with a fictional character from a book or series, but also being in love with a popular classmate who does not know about your existence. These imagined relationships often cause the person in love to long to live the life of popular peers. This often also involves rejecting their old life and doing everything they can to belong to the new group.

Amarcord
Fellini's Amarcord is a film I had not seen in twenty-five years; suddenly, though, I had the urge to watch it again, and many other Fellini films I hadn't seen in years as well. Perhaps I'll spend a month or two getting reacquainted with masterpieces such as La Dolce Vita, 8 and 1/2, Satyricon (my personal favorite), La Strada, and City of Women. Amarcord may not trump them all, but it is quite a slice of life: an image of a historical time and place, the little circle of existence as the viewer peers deep into it giving them a glimpse of other little circles. It is a testament to the power of humans to celebrate and dream, to fantasize escape in the midst of struggle and turmoil. Like the fireworks set off during the opening festival in the little Italian village at the beginning, these pops and bangs of human beings enact their weird, seemingly absurd roles, trapped in their dream of who they are, and dreaming all the while of Who They Wish to Be.

A Labyrinthine Dive into the Human Psyche: A Critical Review of "Oppenheimer"
"Oppenheimer," the latest cinematic offering from acclaimed director Christopher Nolan, is a film that boldly ventures into the realms of science, morality, and the human psyche. With its meticulously crafted narrative and stunning visual effects, the film has all the hallmarks of a Nolan masterpiece. However, beneath the surface lies a complex and, at times, bewildering exploration that challenges the audience's patience and comprehension.
