The Iron Claw (2023)★★★★½Iron Claw opens with explosive energy, a full on wrestling spectacle where Zac Efron appears on screen massively ripped!
- 17
Room (2015)★★★★½Their room feels so cramped. I was under the impression that they were under experiment or that the world was already apocalyptic.

Sully (2016)★★★★½A delay is better than a disaster. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten emotional just by hearing the words “one hundred fifty-five.” It’s like a courtroom drama.

- 32
The Wild Robot (2024)★★★★½“Sometimes hearts have their own conversations.” I put this off for a long time because I didn’t believe it would be as great as people were saying.
- 33

Children of Heaven (1997)★★★★Run Ali run! The film has such a cute and sincere presentation of how children try to solve problems on their own.
- 41
Hustle (2022)★★★★I love the cinematography during Bo Cruz’s first workout with the other players, where he sucked.

- 43
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)★★★★I watched this during Valentine’s while I had a tremendous headache, so I just wanted something light and easygoing.
- 44
The Godfather Part II (1974)★★★★The Godfather Part II shifts away from loud violence into quiet power plays, where conversations, looks, and decisions carry more danger than gunfire.

Highest 2 Lowest (2025)★★★½At its core, the film quietly asks a difficult question: would you do the same sacrifice for someone who isn’t your family, the same way you would for your own blood?

The Woman in the Yard (2025)★★★½The film uses circular anamorphic lenses, giving it a dreamy and unstable feel.
- 50
All the Money in the World (2017)★★★½What stayed with me most was how polished and controlled everything felt while the situation itself spiraled into chaos.
- 51
All the Empty Rooms (2025)★★★½The first few minutes already feel really heavy despite the silence and the very few words spoken.
- 52
Michael (2026)★★★½The film has this golden and brownish cinematic color palette that gives it a warm feeling.
- 53
