10 Films To Watch If You Liked The "Knives Out" Movies

All Batman Movie Villains Ranked From Worst to Best

Batman is the oldest superhero to be incorporated into movies and content on small and big screens. It was so, as he was a character that could adapt believably and convincingly; he just needed to be rich. Ben Affleck said in Justice League when The Flash asked Bruce Wayne what his superpower was. He responded, “I’m rich.” While the character has thrived in feature films for over half a century, spanning eight movies and appearances in films like Batman vs. Superman, Zack Snyder’s Justice…

Another Simple Favor

2025

★★½ 1

Paul Feig’s 2016 remake of “Ghostbusters” wasn’t even remotely the disastrous insult to comedy that the misogynistic smear campaign of the time would have you believe—though it would be difficult to classify the film as “good” in any case—but the resulting shit-storm of publicity surrounding its release seemed to have left its mark on the one studio director who saw real comedic potential in Melissa McCarthy beyond cheap punchlines about her weight. This much was apparent in the immediate aftermath,…

Nonnas

2025

★★★½

Enjoyment of “Nonnas” is dependent on whether or not a viewer is charmed by the notion of “old-fashioned” filmmaking, as Stephen Chbosky’s latest biopic is the type of light-hearted crowd pleaser that Hollywood has effectively abandoned. While it’s squeaky clean, earning the rare PG rating, “Nonnas” is unwavering in its sincerity, as the film explores the feelings of guilt, shame, and depression that can emerge upon the death of a loved one. There are deeper ideas about intercommunity resistance and…

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

2025

★★★

It’s safe to say that the “Mission: Impossible” franchise is the most consistent recurring saga in Hollywood’s recent history, as nearly every installment in the series contains the type of creative storytelling, stylistic flourishes, and inventive spectacle that most blockbusters are devoid of. While John Woo’s “Mission: Impossible II” stood as the only real failure in the series, the franchise took on a more serialized format with the fifth entry, “Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation,” the first of which to be…

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

2016

★★★½

Bridging the gap between George Lucas’ highly influential & much revered original Star Wars Trilogy and his equally detestable prequel series, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story had no valid reason to exist and so when it was green-lit for production, the move was seen by many as yet another cash-grab attempt from Lucasfilm’s new parent company and, apart from bringing more cash into the studio’s reserves, it was also aimed at prepping the viewers to keep the juices flowing during…

Gulaal

2009

★★★★★

A Lennon-worshipping poet and a mime dressed as an Ardhanarishwar are the jester duo in the home of a far-right extremist. Fratricide determines the fate of a pair of illegitimate siblings. Love turns a pawn caught in this dirty game into the embodiment of vengeance. Shakespearean in its scope, one of Kashyap's finest works depicts Rajasthan as the duality it constantly exists in - a land with vast histories and where the present is constantly burdened by them. Dileep is so many Indian college students; bargaining with the devil initially to survive and being too foolish to ever realise that.

EVERYTHING MUST COME TO AN END…. SORTA

So I was planning to post this somewhere around August but my math once again screwed things over. You would expect more from the son of an ant.

But yeah, I finally hit the 10k movies. Actually I had reached it weeks ago, but I stopped the films. And I still can’t believe it. Honestly not sure how I reached that number in what seems a span of 5 years or…

Sinners

2025

★★★★

For the cornucopia that Coogler has created here, what stands out is how raunchy this is compared to similar Hollywood fare. Jordan has a star's presence, shifting with ease between mischief, likeability and power. With its blending of such disparate themes as blues and Jim Crow South to the mafia and vampires, this is akin to a 90s anime film. What did keep it from being near-perfect for me is the initial promise of a story where music attracts the Devil, only for it to not really narratively matter except for one incredible sequence. Goransson's score deserves all the acclaim in the world.

A bit silly, but inventive, and, most importantly, you can feel the rage within the humor.
