To quote Peggy Carter, “The world has changed [and] all we can do is our best.” To say 2020 was a rough year would be a heavy understatement. Between the pandemic and other issues, this year has left us so weary. I myself have been doing my best, keeping an optimistic attitude, but yeah this year can really get to you. So, with better days ahead (I hope), I’ll be doing another Filmsgiving this year where I talk about things I’m grateful for, in terms of film/TV media. Unlike last year where I did a video, this will be a blog post because I’m not really in the mood to do a video as this week has worn me out a bit. Now, this was a little challenging because theaters closed down for several months and some continued to be closed in the country. Also, the movies I’ve seen so far have been either okay, subpar, or pretty bad ( Dolittle ). But there were some solid flicks like The Invisible Man , Palm Springs , and Portrait of a Lady on Fire . For this year, I’m gonna briefly mention a few th...

Now, it's time to go over the worst movies I've seen in 2019. To be honest, I don't think I've seen enough bad movies. Compared to 2018 where I watched hundreds of movies thanks to my Moviepass subscription and then my AMC A-List subscription, I try to cut back on going to the theater and allow time for more valuable things. But I've found 10 films that range from subpar to disastrous. 10. Gemini Man Will Smith plays an assassin who has retired but is called back into action when he finds himself pursued by a mysterious somebody who turns out to be himself but younger. Despite it being in development hell for over 20 years, it sounded like an interesting premise. But the ending result falls short due to a very weak script from three writers from different backgrounds, including David Benioff of Game of Thrones . They also shot the movie in a very high frame rate, 120fps, which I didn't see it in but judging from other people's feedback, it was best n...

Another year has passed, and I will be sharing my 9 favorite movies of 2019. I'm arranging my picks in alphabetical order and the reason I'm doing nine is I'm saving one movie for a video. You may know what it is. 2019 I thought was better than last year for movies in terms of quality and some made me feel very ecstatic. So here they are. The Irishman If Avengers Endgame was the big cinematic event of the year for comic book movies, then The Irishman was the event for cinephiles. All you need are four famous names: De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, and Scorcese. This epic mob film further displays how much Scorcese has been evolving as a filmmaker. While there were gunshots and violence, there were some quiet, profound moments and this movie asks us to have some breathing room to contemplate. Some would be expecting this to be the next Goodfellas or Wolf of Wall Street , but this is something different. The way this movie was structured reminded me of Amadeus in how ...
