The lat two movies were the Monalisa Smile and The Dead Poets Society. Amazing both of them. However, I am wondering when any director will dare to take on Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey.

Who do you think they should cast for the role of Dorian?

The Love Witch. Absolutely stunning, the visuals, costumes, makeup, the cinematography were just a delight and so beautiful to look at. I found Elaine the main character to be a bit silly at first because her priorities were a bit out of touch but the actress (Samantha Robinson) did a fantastic job portraying her

I've been watching the avatar Aang and I can't really rate it at the moment. It is interesting though.

Northpole is a very sweet, well written Christmas movie. The cast is all excellent including the son and the young elf girl. I don't watch Hallmark films very often but this one made me think maybe I should watch them more.

I saw Thor: Love and Thunder. The movie was good, but I still like Thor: Ragnarok more.

I recently saw Ballad of Songbird and Snakes, and I enjoyed it. I would give it a 10/10. It wasn't the same vibe as the original Hunger Games movies, but I liked how it went into depth on Snow's past, and it explained more about how the Hunger Games came to be.

I still haven't read the book. I find it difficult to read the book after already seeing the movie. If I already know what happens, it spoils the fun for me. I might read it in a few years if I end up forgetting the plot of the movie.

The last movie I watched or re-watched was Monte Carlo. I love that movie, it's simplicity is unmatched. Truly a nostalgic watch!

The last movie I watched was "The Harder They Fall," and I'd rate it a solid 8/10. As a black young person, it was refreshing to see a Western with a predominantly Black cast, and the storytelling, action sequences, and cinematography were top-notch.

Yesterday, I watched Killers of the Flower Moon directed by Martin Scorsese. What a fantastic movie. In addition to being a brilliant actor, Leonardo Dicaprio took good care of his career. He’s almost always acting in incredible movies. It’s surprising that he only won one Oscar.

It was a splendid creation by karthick subraj. This movie length is 2.50 hrs. But when you see this movie, you won't see the timing. I will rate it 10/10

The last movie I saw was Rebel Moon and I give it a solid 6/10. The characters were cliche, I didn't connect to them and the dialogue was corny.
