The Avengers: Infinity War
—
So yeah, I finally watched this, and gotta say that although it has some fun moments, I much preferred Black Panther in terms of Marvel movies. Most of my favorite moments involved the Guardians of the Galaxy — not surprising considering how much I enjoy those movies — and outside of the big action sequences,…

Dial M for Murder
—
Last week’s Hitchcock film was this one, which is another one of my favorites. Based on a play, I do love the constrained setting — not as extreme as Rope — and the interactions between the characters is really thrilling to watch.

Mission: Impossible Series
—
Just ahead of seeing the new Mission: Impossible film at the theater, the week prior I decided to re-watch the entire series, and had a damn good time doing so. If I were to put them in order of preference, starting from my favorite, it would be: Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible III, Mission: Impossible –…
