Pictures & Dialogues

Dune Pt. 2 review. May contain spoilers. -Directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring a whole ton of top notch actors. Definitely watch on a big screen...but wait, not any big screen, specifically Imax! Listen to the lastest episode to find out why.

Hi friends, welcome...uh, back to, my first episode of 2024.

An indefensible return. 

In this episode, I discuss some of the observations of the Hindi film industry, and summarize Sushant Singh Rajput's filmography and his contributions to Indian cinema. 

A brief analysis of the current circumstances of COVID-19 and the impact on the film industry.

A meditation on the action genre.

Phantom Thread & The Lighthouse

In this episode, I discuss some of the recent international films I had a chance to see at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The films that I discuss are: "The Traitor", "The Cave", "Seberg",  "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood", and "A Hidden Life". It was an incredible opportunity to watch these films as it is the first or second time these are being screened to the public, therefore, the reviews and discussion about these films is limited and I am honored to be among part of the first group of people to publish reviews of these titles.

"Mother!", a brief summary and review of the brilliant film by Darren Aronofsky. 

Summer blockbuster review of John Wick 3 and the previous John Wick films.

Welcome to Pictures & Dialogues. I invite you to listen to the first episode of my podcast, Pictures & Dialogues. In the first segment of this episode, I discuss the reason I launched a podcast focused on film and briefly outline the vision of what I would like to achieve. In the second segment of this episode, I name some of the best films I watched in 2018 (in no particular order) and further provide a brief rationale for each film supporting my selection. Please note that this is my first episode and I have many bugs to fix with the audio and with the structure. Further note that I state in the podcast that this episode is unedited, when in fact I had to edit some segments as they did not contribute to the final product. I hope you enjoy!
