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 that B was able to find a place in his new school, with his new family, and his new friends. I think the way he experienced a lot of his "firsts" is the way a lot of lgbtqia+ experience life. They don't until they feel comfortable in their own skin.


Sorry this is a much shorter review than most, but I was thoroughly enjoying the movie and just watching, rather than taking notes. I may update this at some point if I rewatch it. It was an amazing coming of age story and I really hope Tommy continues to direct and create masterpieces.

Tuner (2025

Image
Tuner succeeds because it takes an absolute nightmare of a physical condition and weaves it into a brilliant, high-stakes thriller where craft, desperation, and love collide. At its core, the film highlights a fundamental disrespect for elite artistry: watching world-class tuners get treated like general handymen—asked to unclog toilets or reset Wi-Fi routers—establishes just how little their delicate gifts are valued by the wealthy people who hire them. For Niki, his talent is both a gift and a sentence. Living with hyperacusis means everyday noise is excruciating, turning his supreme musical ear into a barrier that stops him from playing the instrument he adores. That same acoustic vulnerability becomes his ultimate, illegal weapon. The transition from precise craftsman to human stethoscope feels earned because his motives are purely noble: saving his father figure, Harry, from crushing medical debts. But stepping into the world of Uri and the security team pushes Niki into a danger...

Disclosure Day (2026)

Image
Spoiler Warning: The following analysis reveals key plot details and the complete ending of Disclosure Day. The Climax: The Broadcast at the Antenna Array In the third act, Margaret (Emily Blunt) and Daniel (Josh O'Connor) evade Noah’s (Colin Firth) mercenaries and make a desperate push toward a remote communications installation. Daniel’s recovered alien artifact—a dense, shifting geometric key—is not a weapon or a engine, but a universal translator and broadcast conduit. Throughout the film, Margaret’s sudden ability to speak foreign languages and tap into human thoughts was the alien intelligence "calibration process," preparing her mind to act as the organic receiver. When Daniel hooks the artifact into the global broadcast network, Noah corners them, arguing that human society will implode under the weight of cosmic insignificance and mass panic. Margaret overrides the lockdown by willingly linking her consciousness to the device. Instead of transmitting terri...

Con Air (1997)

Image
  Released at the height of 1990s blockbuster excess, Con Air remains a glorious, testosterone-fueled spectacle that balances high-octane explosive action with a wildly unhinged cast. At the center of the madness is Nicolas Cage as Cameron Poe, an impossibly honorable, mullet-toting Army Ranger whose only crime was chivalrously defending his pregnant wife in a bar fight. Cage endows Poe with a buttery, theatrical Southern drawl and an absolute saintliness that borders on parody, making his laser-focused quest to deliver a stuffed rabbit to his daughter the emotional core of an otherwise chaotic nightmare. Opposite him stands John Malkovich as Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, a villain played with such cold, Shakespearean intellect that he elevates every scene he touches. Malkovich treats the movie’s absurd premise with deadly seriousness, making Cyrus the ultimate theatrical puppet master until his inevitable, fiery demise. The supporting lineup of degenerates and law enforcement ...
