I admit that I didn't know about Eurovision until the Will Ferrell movie, and that I was among those who fell into the spell and wanted to perform Husavik at some point. (Spoiler alert: I never did. But my brother and I covered KEiiNO's Spirit in the Sky in a party once!)

Moonfall
Have reveal plot, cautious point: you don't see him when science fiction, when comedy see over. 1. A guy who's been wasted for 10 years and a girl who's been in an office for 10 years and a fat nerd who's dying of fat will soon be flying into space on a space shuttle that hasn't been maintained for 10 years? Not to mention what the ship can't handle, what your bodies can handle? 2, the moon is about to fall down, why do you say that the United States will explode internally, say to use nuclear weapons to use nuclear weapons, China will cooperate with you out of a cockpit? Clearly with an electromagnetic gun can fix the matter, you have evolved into the latitude of the civilization, how also chased by ai subjugnation extinction? 4, even advanced intelligence can not handle ai, how can earth people know 10 years ago with electromagnetic guns can be done? 5, know that electromagnetic gun can be done, know that AI will come to the earth, the United States has terminated the electromagnetic gun project, because there is no money. And they're hiding the truth. What kind of logic is that? It's keeping everyone in the dark and leaving them to die. She ex-husband, that American general in the time to launch nuclear weapons to save the earth if pulled down, the reason is that he thought his ex-wife can succeed, the secretary of defense asked if not, he replied that God will bless us! A billion people die and the earth dies for the sake of a little wife, your domineering CEO wen is too that what. Oh right, he is also ready to let the escort of his son and his son into the top secret military base, hide from the defense minister, help ex-wife and Chinese cooperation on the moon, and finally successfully let the defense minister, including a number of military leaders successfully buried deep underground, oh, comrade black state, is you? Even a self-taught fat nerd could deduce that the moon was going to fall based on stolen data, and a bunch of NASA technicians discovered it later than he did, so NASA was disband and outsourced. Moon defense to electromagnetic gun upgrade, that is not to build, not do not know the principle. Then why is the defensive fleet you left behind attacking the nanites with conventional heat cannons? Wouldn't one electromagnetic gun get the job done? Fat people don't have to die, do they?

After Yang
In recent years, I have come into contact with many Asian directors, such as Zhao Ting and Lee Isaak Jeong. I also saw many films with Oriental elements, such as Yi starring Joan Chen and Joy Luck Club starring Wayne Wang. In the Chinese fan circle, such works can always attract attention. We are always exploring the expansion and integration of national films, hoping to meet a heart-stirring work and open another path for Oriental culture to penetrate the world.

Blacklight
It's a bit of a noir film, a bit depressing overall. I have to say that American culture is very unique, and it is surprising that this kind of film can be made.

Ambulance
The film records the day of Cam, an emergency doctor, from rescuing a child injured in a car accident to the end of the child being rescued in the hospital -- but I have read the film introduction, and know that things are not so simple. After watching the movie, I don't know what theme the movie wants to highlight. Is it the EMT's mission to save lives? Or is the plight of veterans in urgent need of attention? Is it an American soldier battle-hardened and majestic? Or are the gangs smart, brave and equipped? Is LA Downtown full of tall buildings, diverse and inclusive? Or is LA a bad place, with bad cops, robberies, shootings and shoot-outs? The end of the film specially highlights the LA in AMBULANCE, which is to let people know about LA through the film. But to be honest, the only impression I had left was that LA was a bad cop.

Documentary Review: 'Box of Rain' is a Love Letter to Fans of The Grateful Dead
Box of Rain is an emotional journey through the connection of The Grateful Dead and their incredibly unique and dedicated fandom. Shot through the prism of director Lonnie Frazier’s own emotional connection to the band, forged in the wake of a devastating sexual assault, Box of Rain reflects on a loving and supportive fandom that is like few others in modern popular culture, music or otherwise.

Outside the Wall
When we're young we struggle to break free from the limitations imposed upon us. Hopefully, we progress toward a semblance of emotional and intellectual maturity, able to assimilate those experiences both negative and positive, real and perceptual, that have formed the basis of our being.
The Surreal Absurdity that is Annette.
Musical films are few-and-far-between these days. Even more so are the ones worth watching. And many of the popular ones that emerge cause divisive strife between critics and audiences. Whether or not you prefer Les Miserables to La La Land, I am relatively certain nothing in the world of cinematic song-and-dance will ever be as divisive as Leos Carax’s undeniably bold Annette. I’ve never before seen a film of this genre blend musical-style showtunes, opera, and rock music that echoes decades beforehand. That said, I’ve also never seen a musical (or possibly any movie) that leans so confidently into its absurdity that I know fully that while much of my audience was immersed, many of them walked out with perplexity, even anger, mumbling “That was so stupid.” Acknowledging this, I am admittedly uncertain what my true feelings are. But it must also be recognized that if the person reading this truly loves the cinematic form and wants to see what ranges it can aspire to--whether they work or don’t--they should definitely see Annette, at least once.

Classic Cinema, Modern Issues: A Woman Under the Influence
“Be yourself,” so says the husband to the wife. Said husband is Nick (Peter Falk), and he is losing his patience with his nerve-ridden wife Mabel (played by Gena Rowlands in a career-defining role). And whether Nick is aware of it or not, what started as social awkwardness laced with some inappropriate comments for Mabel can, and will, escalate into a full-blown psychotic bout when the right spousal pressure is applied. At this point in the film, we may realize this. Nick, however, in the role of a stubborn blue-collar patriarchal trope, never truly learns.

Sunset Boulevard- Revisiting a Gothic Hollywood Tale
Now that the world is slightly more intact, I figured it was time to coerce my girlfriend into seeing an old classic with me. We’d been together nine months and were yet to go to a movie theater together, which as one may imagine, is incredibly rare for me. The film was Sunset Boulevard, playing in a matinee last Sunday at the Raleigh Rialto, one of the best places in my area to take in old classics and art-house films.
