Film Review – Ava

September 28th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Ava (2020) is the cinematic equivalent of painting by the numbers. It follows the outline of the thriller genre so strictly that you have to wonder if this is some kind of deconstruction or parody. Almost every trope you can think of makes an appearance.…

September 8th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020) made me feel every possible emotion there is while watching a movie. I was fascinated, confused, enthralled, entertained, terrified, and in the end deeply moved. That’s an accomplishment for something I’m still trying to piece together in my head.…
