Greenland

Read Time: 3 minutesThe way they showed the scale of the disaster was not as large as how they did it in "2012", this was mostly shown from their perspective, some aerial shots, mostly on land, but not as large of a scale. They were able to answer that issue though through news reports that were shown throughout the film.

The Thing

The Thing poster

Read Time: 3 minutesAnother entry into John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy, together with Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness, this sci-fi/horror classic is peak movie magic with the use of practical effects.

Prince of Darkness

Read Time: 3 minutesA group of graduate students and scientists uncover an ancient canister in an abandoned church, but when they open the container, they inadvertently unleash a strange liquid and an evil force of darkness on all humanity.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End poster

Read Time: 3 minutesOverall gameplay of Uncharted 4 is flawless. The wall climbing, as usual, is iconic, every time another game does it, I go "Meh, Uncharted did it better." The one thing I could critic about the gameplay is the removal of the "grenade return" concept that they did in Uncharted 3.

Martyrs

Read Time: 3 minutesThis isn't for everyone, specially for those who've had traumatic experiences in the past, best to avoid this; but this is considered to be a masterpiece in French horror. Midsommar is another foreign film I'd recommend.

War Of The Worlds

Read Time: 3 minutesThe ending of War Of The Worlds, at first seemed like a shortcut, production-wise, reminded me of "The Mist" but not as dark, and it did make sense. The reason was simple yet it encompasses everything that has happened so far in the story, it was properly paced, and the timing for that extra dramatic effect was on point as well. It was very well done.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

LEAGUE

Read Time: 4 minutesThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is like a bookworm's film fantasy come true. Most of the iconic novel characters coming together to defeat one super villain. It sounds cheesy, yes it is. Its really cool, specially if you've watched it when it came out.

Cannibal Ferox

Can. Ferox.x scaled

Read Time: 2 minutesThe film is leaning more towards animal cruelty than cannibalism. In my opinion, they use this method to show how edgy their film is, and add some shock value into it, all for the purpose of entertainment.

Errementari

Read Time: 3 minutesIn my opinion, Errementari is incredibly underrated, deserving much more recognition for its artistry and impact than it currently receives. It’s a hidden gem that offers a fresh perspective on familiar themes, making it a must-watch for anyone who appreciates thoughtful cinema.

Pearl

Pearl scene

Read Time: 2 minutes"Pearl" was definitely better than "X" in all aspects in my opinion. The history and lore of the villain really made me interested and it didn't disappoint. Definitely recommending this one for modern slasher fans.
