One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
"One flies to the left, another flies to the right, Another flies over the cuckoo's nest." This film is Milos Forman’s Oscar best picture winner created in 1975 as a comedy-drama. It was based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Ken Kesey. We have some stars like Jack Nicholson who plays a new patient at a mental institution and Louise Fletcher who plays an austere nurse. He also earned six Golden Globe Awards, including that for best drama, and six BAFTA Awards, including that for best film. The action is set during the early 1960s in the security ward of a state mental hospital.

Come and See (1985)
"Wars do not determine who is right, only who is left." - Bertrand Russell There is an animal in every human being. We are undoubtedly those thinking reeds Pascal spoke of... perhaps even the stardust that the Great Will or Carl Sagan talked about, but we frequently eat, breathe in a precise rhythm, go to the bathroom daily, copulate, do everything we can to help our fellow human beings, or to bring them to their knees, whenever one or the other is necessary. Neither the animal nor the soul completely represents us, but only a combinative version of them, in constant motion. Come and See is an attempt to explain this perpetual struggle of accommodation between the being and the body when it is most severely tested: in the extreme conditions of an apocalyptic war: WW2.

Amour (2012)
The movie "Amour" was directed by Michael Haneke and we begin by acknowledging the difficulty of discussing this movie but I recommend it to the audience. The movie is about the late relationship between two octogenarian intellectuals in Paris and explores the themes of love and death. Haneke's ability to transmit a vast range of extreme emotions through his cinematography and the actors' naturalistic performances are powerful. The plot seems simple but is complex and uses film angles, scenography, decor, and soundtrack to leave an impression on the viewers. I mention a particular scene where Georges sings while Anne sits in a chair, explaining how it's a metaphor for the film's temporal ambiguity.

JFK(1991) by Oliver Stone
Back, and to the left... back, and to the left... back, and to the left. When you create space for a lie, in any situation where it can evolve undisturbed, it will grow, and subsequent developments will quickly become unpredictable and uncontrollable. This should not surprise or anger anyone, as it is a natural part of human nature. Studies on lying (i.e. the conscious and interested modification of the truth) show that when it is not necessary, it has only pathological explanations. We are not talking about those, but we ask ourselves honestly: When is lying necessary? Are there such situations?

The Sexiest Villains in Movies
Everybody wants to be a hero most of the time. When a hero is done right, we admire and want to be like them. If they are good looking and charming also, we might have some delectable fantasies about them. However, there are many villains that are not mentioned in regards to how their portrayel of darkness worked a spell of sexiness upon the viewers. Here are my picks for a top ten list of the sexiest villains to grace the silver screens.

John Wick- Chapter 4_ Movie Review
With its marvellous screenplay and clutch of fine performances, John Wick: Chapter 4, directed by Chad Stahelski from a script by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch, is a fittingly flamboyant and fast-paced finale that packs a massive punch. It's hard to believe that a nearly three-hour movie could be so fun, but John Wick: Chapter 4 is one of the most entertaining films of recent years.

SHAZAM: Fury Of The Gods_Movie Review
“Shazam! Fury of the Gods” is the sequel to the 2019 superhero movie “Shazam!”. As a studio-produced sequel and a superhero movie made in 2023, it arrives with two strikes against it. One would expect a certain level of creative committee-mandated monotony regardless of how one feels about the first movie. However, the makers of “Shazam!” toned down both the cynicism and sentimentality that have come to define lighthearted superhero movies. “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” meanders further in that direction.
