#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.

#637 Semi-Tough
1977's SEMI-TOUGH stars Burt Reynolds and Kris Kristofferson in a football comedy and shows off THE MAN of the sport, but it wants to be a bit more critical of marriage and see;f-help.This style of comedy would never be made today and because of that, we have to pay attention to this film.

#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.

#633 - We Are Marshall
We Are Marshall McG's 2006 overlooked Football powerhouse movie deserves attention not from a perfectly executed technical film but from what might be the most tragic plane crash scene ever put to film. We have an all-star cast in front of and behind the camera - this movie deserves your attention as it reveals that the sports genre unlocks what professionals can do in the film business.

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.
