"Robot Dreams" is an animated tragicomedy film written and directed by Pablo Berger. It is based on the 2007 comic of the same name by Sara Varon. Featuring a charming art style and a lovely soundtrack, it depicts a friendship between a dog and a robot in New York City back in the year1984. Dog is lonely and decides to -order- a new robot friend off of the television. He puts the robot together carefully, being very purposeful and treating the whole task as very important to him. The robot wakes up with a smile. Then the two of them head out of dog's apartment together, Dog taking Robot out to explore the big city in this brand new world. The robot, being 'just born' in a way, exhibits that same sort of innocence and naivety that a child that doesn't know any better would exhibit.  (See "Chappie," "The Iron Giant," "Johnny 5," and "Wall E" in a way) The animation is lovely and smooth. It has a certain beauty in its simp...

      "Nosferatu" is a 2024 American Gothic horror film directed by Robert Eggers - the same mad genius who directed "The VVitch" and "The Lighthouse." Both are crazy, artsy films that I highly recommend. This one is, of course, a modern remake of the 1922 silent film, " Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror " by Henryk Galeen. And obviously, this whole story is "heavily inspired" by the original 1897 story by Bram Stoker, " Dracula ."      As far as trigger warnings, this one has a couple: Violence and gore are pretty prevalent, dude bites the head off of a bird. Some nudity, though I would say it is very tasteful and artistic rather than vulgar. "Pedicide" aka the murder of children. Some plague, sickness. And a lot of sexual themes throughout.      Also just a good note that nothing bad happens to the cat.     Honestly some other people's reviews thought the film was just disgusting and I didn't think it was tha...

     "The Descent" is a 2005 British horror film about 6 women who go exploring a cave as a fun "girls trip" experience. Already I hate it, because cave exploration - especially cave DIVING - sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. So right off the bat, as a premise for a horror film, "The Descent" is coming in hot, as they say. Claustrophobia with numerous tight spaces, darkness, helplessness, being trapped miles beneath the earth, being able to fall to your death at any moment over perilous ravines. It's packed full of horrifying concepts so that's obviously "good film" points in its favor.     But you may have noticed right in the title that I only gave it a 5 out of a ten. Even with all of that wonderful horror movie premise, it did some things I didn't exactly love as a viewer of films. So here I go with explaining why: *** *** SPOILER WARNING *** ***     Okay so there's an even deeper level of plot that I didn't spoil e...
