I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.

    Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

    ★★★★★

    My Hero, inspiration and favorite director.
    I am obsessed with David Lynch and all of his work since I saw Mulholland drive on the big screen in 2001.
    I am blessed I have seen all of his movies (besides Dune)  on the big screen

    Twin peaks the series  is a morality booster for me, a place I were I love to escape to. 
    Fire walk with me is the dark, scary impactful nightmare that I need to visit on a…

    For me personally, The 25th Hour is the perfect movie.
    It includes all the elements that make a film truly special:

    ★★★★

    Danny Boyle is a highly versatile director, and he proves it once again with this creative sci-fi film, in which the eight astronauts of the Icarus II face the daunting mission of reigniting the dying sun.

    Films like Sunshine have been made in various forms before, but they often tend to be slow or uninspiring. Sunshine, however, is anything but. Written by Alex Garland, the film boasts a fantastic plot, stunning visuals, creative storytelling, and an outstanding cast.

    Punch-Drunk Love

    ★★★½

    I have to be honest—when I first watched Punch-Drunk Love around 22 years ago, it felt extraordinary. Paul Thomas Anderson’s direction was outstanding, and Adam Sandler delivered the best performance of his career at the time.

    Rewatching it in 2025, I still appreciated its strong elements, but in the meantime, I’ve seen Anderson grow into an even better director, and Sandler has given stronger performances, such as in Uncut Gems. I still enjoyed the film, but I didn’t experience the masterpiece I had seen all those years ago.

    I have rewatched Magnolia recently and that was far superior over Punch Drunk Love

    Thank you Australia 
    This is how you do a giant spider movie
    Fun and well directed, nice to watch from the start and with the right length
    This is a very cool movie in a sub genre that normally delivers crap.
    Sting is an exception
