Radical (2023)

I DID NOT EXPECT FOR THIS TO BE A TEARJERKER

[10/10 · 30 October 2023]

I just saw this Film at AMC palm 24 Early Access here in the USA, and it was Funny, Interesting, Intelligent and Heartbreaking. This film is based on a the true story in Mexico. This film almost reminds me of Freedom Writers directed by Richard LaGravenese, released in 2007.

Ever since the Sundance Film Festival acknowledged this film I was very interested knowing Eugenio Dernez was in it. I saw his film "Instructions not Included" 2013, and also "La Familia Peluche" which was a Sitcom in Mexico which had a 10 year run time and he made me feel so Nostalgic to see him again in the Big Screen.

To the OSCARS, Consider this a Candidate for Best Foreign Language Film and a Candidate for Eugenio Dernez as Best Actor!

Talk to Me (I) (2022)

If The Conjuring & Insidious had a Baby, this would be it

[10/10 · 21 July 2023]

I saw this film at the San Diego Comic Con Premiere and By the end of the film I was in complete shock, the film's Runtime is a bit over 95 Mins but it does such a great job in that time period that it leaves room for a potential Sequel or even a Prequel. The directors knew what they were doing. It's been a long time since I have ever seen a film That makes me want to write a review about it. I'm really glad I saw this film and what next film the directors will make next.

A24 was really smart in taking this film and adding it to its Horror Collection. I look forward to buying this film in 4K sometime in the future.
