Up

Just rewatched *Up*, and wow—Pixar hits you with all the feels in the first 10 minutes! Carl and Ellie’s love story? Beautiful and heartbreaking. Ugly crying before the adventure even begins. Carl, the grumpy old man with a heart of gold, and Russell, the eager Wilderness Explorer, are a perfect duo. Their friendship is the heart of the movie. And Dug? The BEST talking dog. “SQUIRREL!” still cracks me up. The visuals? Stunning. The balloons, Paradise Falls, even the airship battles—gorgeous. Add in top-tier humor (looking at you, Kevin) and a touching message about letting go and embracing new adventures, and it’s pure magic. My only wish? More Ellie. But that’s the point—life’s short, so cherish every moment. Rating: 10/10. Adventure is out there—and so are the tissues you’ll need. 🎈🏠💔

*Better Days* isn’t your typical feel-good movie—it’s an emotional gut-punch that’s raw, intense, and deeply moving. Zhou Dongyu as Chen Nian is phenomenal, portraying vulnerability and strength as a high schooler battling exams, bullying, and a harsh world. Jackson Yee’s Xiaobei is equally compelling—a tough yet tender protector whose connection with Chen feels raw and real. The story tackles the dark side of academic pressure and bullying, weaving a powerful narrative of resilience and unlikely bonds. Visually, the film’s gritty, understated style amplifies its emotional impact. Themes like mental health and societal expectations hit hard, leaving a haunting impression long after the credits. It’s not an easy watch, but it’s an unforgettable one. Rating: 9/10. Heartbreaking, beautifully acted, and deeply thought-provoking. 💔🎓

Finally watched La La Land and wow—my heart’s still doing jazz hands! It’s beautiful, bittersweet, and just the right amount of extra. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling? Pure magic. Their chemistry makes you believe in love, heartbreak, and even jazz (which Ryan’s character nearly sold me on). The story of chasing dreams and losing love hits hard, and that ending? Painful yet perfect. The music? Incredible. From the traffic jam opener to Emma’s tearjerking “Audition,” every song’s a bop. City of Stars is stuck in my head, and I’m not mad. And those visuals? Stunning. Dreamy old-Hollywood vibes, vibrant colors, and dancing that feels like magic. Some scenes were a bit slow, but honestly, it’s just me impatiently waiting for the next song. Final verdict: 9.5/10. Watch it, cry, sing, and maybe reconsider your thoughts on jazz. 🎶✨💃

Goodfellas

Some movies come and go, but Goodfellas? It’s a cinematic freight train that changed the way we see crime dramas forever. Whether you’re a sucker for mob tales or just someone who loves an edge-of-your-seat story, this film is a must-watch. It’s raw, it’s electric, and it’s got Martin Scorsese’s unmistakable magic stamped all over it. From the second you hear Henry Hill’s iconic line, “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster,” you’re hooked. Scorsese takes what could’ve been a straightforward mob story and turns it into an epic masterpiece of loyalty, greed, betrayal, and the chaotic highs and lows of living outside the law. Every scene pulls you deeper into a world that’s as glamorous as it is brutal.Ray Liotta as Henry Hill? Phenomenal. He nails the balance between wide-eyed ambition and spiraling chaos. Robert De Niro’s Jimmy Conway is the ultimate mentor—cool, calculated, and always one step ahead. And then there’s Joe Pesci as Tommy DeVito. Let’s be real...
