The Bride! (2026) Aesthetically pleasing while being creative with good performances from the mains and supporting cast, with Jesse Buckley though unrecognizable, her performance was borderline theatrical, at times, when she went off in rants.

My main issue is the narrative where it seem to include so many elements and started to get messy as it went along and not very convincing towards the end. Still good debut with strong theme of female empowerment, as it keeps the door open for a sequel.

House III: The Horror Show (1989) The film series takes a more serious tone, less funny but more campy with plenty of blood splatter. With several familiar faces, from Lance Henriksen to Brion James the guy from The Fifth Element and Lawrence Tierney from Reservoir Dogs.

Still entertaining given it is more darker, slightly reminds me of the film Shocker.

Burt Lancaster was the first star to have his name added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After a 45-year acting career, his final film role was “Moonlight” Graham in Field of Dreams. Ray Liotta’s “Hey, Rookie. You were good.” remains one of cinema’s most gut-punching moments.

Why parents let us watch ’Salem’s Lot, how TV played us, and why Gen Xers don’t trust windows. Happy Halloween 🎃

A Different Man (2024) A cool concept that keeps you engaged but slowly goes off the rails towards the end. Even with the good performances and indie style of filmmaking, I did not enjoy the direction it took halfway.

This one’s gonna hit hard 💔 Patrick Stewart has sadly passed away at the age of 86. So many iconic roles, but for me, I will always think of him as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. A terrible loss…

The death of editing... he’s not an editor anymore; he’s a producer. Is editing the old way gone forever? Maybe... if you edit 30-second YouTube Shorts. No... if you edit film or TV. Legendary editor Walter Murch said 51% of the reason to cut is Emotion. AI doesn’t have that.
Is editing "the old way" gone forever? ... yeah
