As a longtime fan of independent film, I was eager to see this movie after stumbling upon a Facebook ad for it. Michael Pitt immediately caught my attention. I’ve missed his presence since his character was killed off in Boardwalk Empire after season two. Seeing Steve Buscemi and Joe Pesci in the trailer only heightenedContinue reading “Day of the fight”

Echos
The longing for times gone by and the complexity of emotional attachment of memories from consciousness. Lingering over our heads like a halo whirling in the rhythm of the earth. Every present. c 2024 Chu The Cud All Rights Reserved
Weather or knot
You can’t change weather, you can only react to it. Weather moves without resistance or regret and without emotional stakes or strategies. A reaction to the weather is through, cause and effect. Nature never complains, just reconfigures. A reaction to the action without temperament. Nature’s elegance nurtures weather with harmony and fragility, and dances in aContinue reading “Weather or knot”
Beyond the boundaries

I wander the landscapes of my mind on an unanticipated journey. The intertwining imaginary of creativity throughout its highs and lows. Memories dance through uncharted territories, interwovenContinue reading “Beyond the boundaries”
Leave this movie behind
Garbage. After the first fifteen minutes, the story begins to die a slow death. The script’s characters are written so stereotypically, it’s cliche and you never really care about these people. Once box office magic, Julia Roberts once again played Julia Roberts. I was more interested in knowing if she really looked that old inContinue reading “Leave this movie behind”

I notice new spots on my skin that weren’t there before and lines on my face growing deeper with refinementContinue reading “Metamorphosis”
Mind’s eye perspective

The script lacked depth, leaving me indifferent to the characters and their journeys. There was no clear emotional contrast between good and bad, which diluted any sense ofContinue reading “Gladiator 2, was it necessary? A quick review.”
Perchance to dream
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time? I would still sleep. Perchance to dream To meet people I never met To embrace those who have crossed beyond the unseen barrier To love A love like no other Creating a bond that even awakening can’t erase To experience flight Continue reading “Perchance to dream”
Best of both worlds
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? I’ve experienced both the beach and the mountains, and each offers an equally incredible experience in its own way. Instead of choosing one over the other, why not ask, ‘What do you love about being in the mountains?’ or ‘What do you love about the beach?’ ThisContinue reading “Best of both worlds”
