I watched Weapons and I have to say I liked it much more than Bring Her Back. The witchcraft here has weight: that little tree, the rituals, all the symbolism feels fresh and full of intention. It is not an elegant or pretentious horror, but the atmosphere works; yes, the ending felt dumb to me, but it did not bother me, because overall the handling of the theme was well done.

Critics and audiences have responded positively. The fragmented style and ritual acts fit with Zach Cregger's innovative approach, especially in how he mixes horror, satire, and social reflections. That use of the supernatural is appreciated not as a trick, but as a lens to explore the failure of institutions and the vulnerability of children.

It is not perfect. The acting is not Oscar-worthy and the finale goes grotesque in a somewhat abrupt way. Still, it manages to update witch horror with a modern aesthetic and an atmosphere that holds the pulse. As a fan of the genre and those unsettling details, I experienced it intensely.

With all that, I give it an 8/10. It has flaws, yes, but it conveys its world, its fear, and its darkness with conviction. It is the kind of movie that, without being flawless, fulfills the promise of unsettling you and staying in your head.

I watched Bring Her Back and it truly is an unsettling horror filled with rituals and atmosphere. It revisits the classic themes of possession and family grief, but gives them a more disturbing and psychological twist that ends up pulling you in. It is not one of those horrors that rely on cheap jump scares, it is the kind that slowly gets under your skin.

Critics received it with quite a lot of enthusiasm: it has an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and many highlight that it is as emotional as it is terrifying. Sally Hawkins' performance is surprising, since she is usually associated with warm characters, and here she completely flips that, offering a disturbing and very different role. Forums agree that the movie is not about blood or the usual scares, but about the discomfort that stays with you after watching it.

It is not perfect: some secondary characters are underdeveloped and at times it feels like it could have gone deeper emotionally. But even so, it is a modern horror that dares to go beyond the surface, tackling trauma, grief, and psychological manipulation with its own style.

That is why I give it an 8/10. It is not an absolute masterpiece, but it is a dark and twisted journey that achieves the most important thing: keeping you tense, making you feel uncomfortable, and leaving you thinking even after it is over.

It had been decades since I had seen it in full, although I already knew all its iconic songs. Just last night I finally enjoyed it from beginning to end, and I could not resist getting up to dance.

From the very first chord, Dirty Dancing is pure charm: romance, dance, and melodies for the soul. Three of its defining tracks, (I've Had) The Time of My Life, Be My Baby, and She's Like the Wind, are authentic anthems that transport you and stay with you long after the credits roll. The first even won an Oscar and a Grammy, selling millions of copies worldwide. Be My Baby was a 60s classic that resurfaced thanks to the film, while She's Like the Wind became a Billboard hit through Patrick Swayze himself.

Visually, it is a nostalgic journey that is still beautifully produced, and the performances of Swayze and Jennifer Grey hold a chemistry that makes every step and every glance believable.

I will not be too technical, but as a fan of old cinema and real emotions, this was a complete experience: melody, emotion, nostalgia, and the urge to move nonstop. That is why I proudly give it a 10/10. There are movies that only ask one thing of you, to dance, and this one delivers perfectly.
