I Wish You All The Best (2024)

  Okay, Tommy Dorfman, pop off. First of all I think the casting every step of the way was absolutely perfect. Obviously, Corey Fogelmanis was perfect as B(en), Miles Gutierrez-Riley was perfect as Nathan, Cole Sprouse I was extremely happy to see, I think he was perfect. Part of me wanted him to have a bigger part, part of me is happy he didn't, because I feel like it it allowed Corey, Miles and Alexandra to shine. And having a Sprouse brother I'm sure brought attention to the movie, but him having a small part didn't overshadow the important message in the movie. I like how slow it started, it was perfect, showed the previous family dynamic, and how quickly some people let it fracture simply because they're afraid of something they don't understand. I love the sibling relationship that ends up being built, not only between B and Hannah but Thomas as well. I think B not finding himself until he was able to come out is something a lot of teens can relate to.  I love...

Chappie (2015)

  I know it's been a hot minute since I've done a review. But here is what I think of Chappie 1. The Cyber-Security & Workplace HR Violations The "Un-hackable" Guard Key: Storing the master cryptographic key to an entire police force on a physical USB drive, which Deon (Dev Patel) just casually walks out the front door with in his backpack, is legendary levels of terrible corporate security. Hugh Jackman’s Workplace Ethics: Vincent (Hugh Jackman) pulling a literal handgun on Deon in the middle of a defense contractor office because he wanted funding for his mech suit (The Moose). The HR department at Tetravaal must have completely given up. Hugh Jackman in Cargo Shorts: Seeing Wolverine rocking cargo shorts, a mullet, and a thick Australian accent while flexing a massive mech controller is a visual no one was prepared for. 2. The Logic Drops & AI Realism The Voice Synthesis: You hit the nail on the head—modern LLMs and voice models sound human, but 2015 sc...

Nuremberg (2025)

  Nuremberg (2025): Ego, Manipulation, and the Mind Games of History Adolf Hitler is dead, the Nazi high command is in complete disarray, and seventy million people are dead. Right out of the gate, Nuremberg sets an unmistakable, unvarnished tone—starting with the absolute visual insult of someone casually pissing on a swastika. Yet, in the middle of this total ruin, you still have former Nazi leaders surrounded by Allied guns asking troops to grab their luggage. The unmitigated audacity is wild.  Justice Jackson leaving Andrus out in the rain while officers debate egos, politics, and legal rights? Absolutely perfect cinema. Visual Style & Immediate Observations The 20-Minute Cigarette Rule: It’s 1945/1946, yet it takes a full 20 minutes before we see our first cigarette on screen. For a mid-20th-century historical piece, that’s practically a miracle of modern pacing. The Opening Demeanor: The contrast between high-ranking prisoners expecting aristocratic military court...
