Quiz Lady

Quiz Lady is a comedy movie starring Awkwafina and Sandra Oh. With Will Ferrell, Holland Taylor, and Jason Schwartzman. Quiz Lady is one of those films that knows how to strike a balance and stray away from light comedy when necessary, without veering into vulgarity. It’s pleasant, charming, and features two actresses, Awkwafina and Sandra Oh, who deliver fantastic performances as sisters. This comedy always manages to stay true to its comedic nature, even if it’s ultimately a family comedy that doesn’t preach life lessons and has characters who don’t take themselves too seriously. Highly enjoyable to watch. Movie Review…

The Killer

The Killer is a movie directed by David Fincher starring Michael Fassbender and Tilda Swinton. The Killer is a film that bears the mark and legacy of its director, David Fincher, in every frame.

Even in a movie centered around a character known for his flawlessness, The Killer manages to be impeccable. However, this time the protagonist fails to carry out his job flawlessly. Film Review The Killer serves as a blueprint for crafting a technically perfect thriller. Fincher’s obsession with perfection shines…

A Haunting in Venice

A Haunting in Venice is a mystery movie directed by Kenneth Branagh, based on the novel by Agatha Christie. As you may know, Kenneth Branagh, an excellent actor and film and theater director, has taken it upon himself to revive Agatha Christie and portray her iconic detective, Hercule Poirot. He skillfully blends classic novel elements with a distinct, visually striking cinematic style. In our opinion, this is the most accomplished adaptation on a cinematographic level. The atmosphere and story lend themselves to elaborate compositions and chiaroscuro effects. Branagh’s adaptations of Agatha Christie’s works are, without a doubt, the finest ones…

Sister Death

Sister Death is a horror movie directed by Paco Plaza starring Aria Bedmar and Almudena Amor. It’s not uncommon for convents, churches, and the like to have terrified us throughout the centuries. Just take a look at the baroque paintings of Caravaggio and others to realize that this “chiaroscuro” thing has a lot of potential, and the film industry couldn’t resist it. If Hollywood brought us “The Nun,” which was more successful with the audience than with critics, now comes “Sister Death” to Netflix. It’s a calm horror movie that serves as a prequel to “Veronica.” It knows how to…
