Charming Classic - “her”
"Lonely's the only other company, less you're the love no other love can be." - Maxwell Quite soon into Spike Jonze's her, you feel a genuine sadness for the world he's depicting, our own. The director presents us with a recognisable LA setting, but everyday technologies have advanced and computer intelligence in particular, has reached new heights. While this may seem exciting on the surface, the consequences of these advancements mean social interaction has lessened, and with it, human detachment has heightened.

Charming Classic - “Heat”
“Society invites the crime and criminals accept the invitation.” - Vikrant Parsai Michael Mann's Heat exists in the memory as a remarkable heist film, a standout cops n' robbers thriller, which influenced several quality, crime-pictures following on from it. Matthew Vaughn, Ben Affleck and Christopher Nolan, directors of Layer Cake, The Town and The Dark Knight respectively, admit to their films having been inspired by Heat in varying ways. It can be argued that at the time, it redefined the action-thriller genre. It revised an almost decade-long formula of somewhat gimmicky, machismo fuelled, 80's action cinema, by delivering high octane spectacle, that relied upon sheer authenticity.

Thank you, 'Paris, Texas (1984)'
Nearly two months ago, I had the privilege of watching 'Paris, Texas' by Wim Wenders for the first time. Before anybody comes at me for not watching it earlier, I humbly concede the fact that I didn't possess the sensitivity to appreciate something as poignant until recently.

Unpacking White Lotus Season 3: Gorgeous Scenes and Frustratingly Familiar Tropes
For the last eight weeks, my morning routine has been to get up, make coffee, and mentally get ready for the upcoming episode of HBO's The White Lotus. It has evolved into a weekly immersion in opulence, dysfunction, and mortality rather than merely a viewing experience.
