Swimming Pool (2003) – Movie Review Charles Dance is in it, so I had to give it a shot. Even though his role is small, he delivers—as he always does. The story starts as a classic crime thriller and gradually shifts into a psychological mystery drama. I believe it’s a film

Dream Scenario (2023) – Movie Review My goal is to watch every single Nicolas Cage movie before I kick the bucket. But it seems like the guy can shoot them faster than I can watch 'em. Anyway, Dream Scenario came out two years ago, and I only just stumbled across it. The movie

Mickey 17 (2025) – Movie Review A social critique wrapped in a sci-fi setting. It turned out to be okay, but nothing special. The cinematography is solid, and I liked the set design on the ship. What I didn’t enjoy was the design of the aliens, which look like oversized
