Cooked (2024)

The live-action remake of the classic Disney film based on a wooden puppet is finally here.

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.

Overall, Sand Castle was another lack luster war drama that will eventually fade into the many similar war dramas I have seen throughout my life.

A short film that begins with the language of romance but slowly reveals something far more unsettling beneath the surface.

The Noel Diary is about a man who unlocks an old diary containing secrets of the past.

Vicenza, a Brazilian girl, goes on a quest by herself to find out who her birth father is by gathering clues.
