Basic Sanitation, the Movie
★★★★★
Always nice revisiting movies that I love and finding even more reasons to love them. This film is the reason why I ended up falling in love with the art of making cinema.
Halloween
★★★½
Halloween classic
A Própria Carne
★★★
The trailer for this movie hyped me up but I should have kept my expectations low and I probably would have left the theatre with a less underwhelming feeling. The story itself isn't necessarily bad but the production wasn't the best. Felt like a very expensive internet movie I guess. The thing that bothered me the most is how they got really good colour treatment and there's a pretty nice camera work but instead of leaving space for the movie to breath there was a thousand shot cuts per minute. The audio also wasn't mixed the best, not sure if it was thought for the surrounding system of theatres. Dialogue felt off, in some parts because of the writing and in some parts because of the acting/deliver. Positive points for the special effects, makeup, setting and scenario.
Jaws
★★★★★
Got to watch the 4k restoration in the theatres and what can I say really? It's Jaws! I was scared the practical effects wouldn't hold up for today's screens and I was so wrong Incredible opportunity to see such a classic on the big screens
The Evil Dead

Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc
★★★★★
this was so worth it amazing animation, amazing sound work and incredible pacing for an anime movie I just wish crunchyroll cared about subtitles a little bit more, they held the movie back a little bit unfortunately honestly can't wait to rewatch this on fanmade subs
House
★★★★
Amazing piece of art, incredibly sad and visually stunning
The Lighthouse
★★★★★
This movie hit me in all the right and wrong places
Sinners
★★★★½
I usually don't revisit movies this early but it was actually super worth it, this movie is such a masterpiece. Amazing photograph and audio work.
Jurassic World Rebirth
★½
It was better than Fallen Kingdom but also the bar is on the fucking basement
Barbarian
★★★★½
This is one of my favourite modern horror movies ever If you're considering watching, my recommendation is that you don't look up anything about it, not even a trailer or a synopsis This one works so much better if you don't know know what type of horror to expect from it It was nice revisiting it after watching the most recent movie from the director, Weapons, a movie that was pretty disappointing in my opinion, specially being already a big fan of Barbarian I love the psychological aspect of it, a movie that left me in an anxious state through its entirety From the story and concept to the photography, visual effects and audio work I'm really passionate about this movie !! SEMI-SPOILERS BELOW !! It just isn't a 5 star movie to me because I velieve one of the points of view didn't really work out, a problem that got worse in Weapons They tell too much in a scene where it could have been shown and they show too much of something that didn't need to be told at all Too much explanation can really kill some of the vibes But overall, still one of my favourite horror movies from recent times, even after a rewatch
Nosferatu
★★★★
Story-wise is what you would expect of a nosferatu/dracula tale. Nothing new, nothing unexpected. The movie, however, is really stunning visually and the acting is amazing. Count's visual was a good choice in my opinion, keeping him monstruous and grotesque without any watering down. The audio design was also amazing, I wish I had the opportunity to see it in the theatres. I won't lie, I wanted the movie to be a bit more bold but I enjoyed it anyway.
Final Destination Bloodlines
★★★½
This was so fun! My expectations were really low because the last movie was so off but I had a great time paco my beloved
The Clown
★★★★
I forgot how emotional this movie makes me. Good movie about finding oneself, good to watch when you need a drop of hope in your life.
The Plague Dogs
★★★★½
This was a punch in the guts. Amazing story, amazing animation, amazing acting, amazing audio work, but not for the weak of heart. Can't recommend it enough.
The Matrix
★★★★★
God knows how many times I rewatched this movie and I still get to be impressed by how cool it is
Annihilation
★★★★★
It's wild to rewatch this movie and it still be as good as I remember it.
The Blue Trail
★★★★★
Really stunning movie
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
★★★★½
Not enough towels Good amount of homoerotic subtext Unsatisfying amount of depression /j Sometimes it's really hard for me to be fair with movies which are adaptations of books I'm passionated about, this one included. There's always something that I think could have been done different or better *sigh* This is an undoubtedly fun movie! I feel like this is a challenging book to have its humour adapted, but I think this movie did a good job with what it had. Martin Freeman was absolute perfect. I think that, if you haven't read the books, Zaphod's character looks thrown at random there and it gets pretty confusing but everything else was honestly pretty well done The visual effects are ON POINT, I had forgot how much I love the look of this movie Narrator also was perfectly done imo So long and thanks for all the fish!
Weapons
★★★
I have a lot of mixed feelings about this movie honestly It was entertaining and fun but some of the POVs were pretty repetitive imo Big reveal was a bit underwhelming A lot of loose bits that felt underworked/cut/pointless/lost Too many thoughts to fit on a review really Overall feelings: enjoyable and fun but undercooked Im really just a bit confused on where they were trying to go with most of the storylines
