    #638 - Don't Worry Darling

    Don't Worry Darling got the worst type of press before its release and what was lost was the general audience constructively looking at the film. In a different time the Olivia Wilde directed movie would have grown like wildfire throughout social media. Instead, we are left with AKAPAD THE FILM BUFF to rectify the situation and correct the course.

    #636 - Under The Silver Lake

    Neo Noir is the filmmakers' playground and at times it's perfectly fine if it's weird, but if it's weird let it move and have all the right elements this however was missed by many critics. Under the Silver Lake is a fantastic fun movie by David Robert Mitchell that raises real questions about the world of LA and show business.

    #635 - Number One - Charlton Heston

    Charlton Heston stars as a New Orleans quarterback gradually approaching a mid-life crisis as his career nears its end. "Number One" didn't initially make AKAPAD's list of American Football films for discussion and review. However, this unexpected gem took him by surprise, delivering a compelling narrative possibly sponsored by the NFL itself.

    #634- The Passenger - must be watched

    Carter Smith has emerged as one of the premier young directors of our age. The Passenger is best described as a self-help movie dealing with the inflictions of the past portrayed through a violent depressing lens. The movie should be praised and heralded and because it's not mentioned in award season proves how broken this system is. AKAPAD the Film Buff champions this movie as pure cinema and nothing else.

For movies lovers that like quick reviews

I subscribed to Dream Warriors because I like the quick reviews on new movie releases, and the theme episodes like '30 Days of Dread' during Halloween.
