  Normally, I'd watch a film and promptly write my review. Yet, "Spaceman" was different. It lingered in my mind, prompting me to let it simmer for a few days. Unexpectedly, it left a profound impact on me, especially given its surprising source: an Adam Sandler film. Directed by Johan Renck and penned by Colby Day, "Spaceman" is a mesmerizing fusion of retro-futuristic aesthetics, set in an alternate 1990s, and profound psychological drama against the backdrop of space exploration. Adam Sandler, in a departure from his usual roles, delivers a stunning portrayal of Czech astronaut Jakub Procházka. His raw emotional depth adds layers to Jakub's character as he embarks on a daring mission to explore the Chopra cloud beyond Jupiter, grappling with the solitude of space and his strained relationship with his wife Lenka, played with poignant sincerity by Carey Mulligan. Alongside, the haunting voice of Paul Dano breathes life into Hanuš, a telepathic extraterrest...

  "Double Blind," helmed by director Ian Hunt-Duffy, emerges as a gripping sci-fi thriller entwined with horror elements, plunging viewers into the harrowing aftermath of a botched drug trial. The film's premise is as intriguing as it is chilling. The notion that sleep equals certain demise injects a palpable urgency and dread into the narrative. Set within the confines of an isolated medical facility, the claustrophobic backdrop amplifies the characters' sense of isolation and desperation. Ian Hunt-Duffy adeptly harnesses the limited setting to ratchet up tension. The cinematography deftly captures the facility's eerie ambiance, intensifying the prevailing unease. The cast delivers commendable performances, with Millie Brady shining in the role of Claire. Pollyanna McIntosh exudes menace as Dr. Burke, adding an extra layer of tension to the already fraught scenario. While character depth may be lacking, the actors imbue their roles with enough nuance to keep audi...

  "Lisa Frankenstein" takes viewers on an exhilarating journey through horror and hilarity, masterfully crafted by Diablo Cody and Zelda Williams. Set in the nostalgic 1980s, the film follows Lisa, a teenage girl grappling with her mother's tragic death, and her unconventional romantic interest, the reanimated Victorian-era corpse known as the Creature. The film excels in seamlessly blending horror and comedy, from the whimsically eerie circumstances of the Creature's resurrection to the sharp and witty dialogues sprinkled throughout. Kathryn Newton's performance as Lisa adds a captivating presence, while Cole Sprouse and Liza Soberano deliver solid supporting roles. Despite its campy humor and nostalgic charm, "Lisa Frankenstein" occasionally stumbles with pacing issues and a disjointed narrative. Yet, its colorful visuals, clever humor, and memorable characters ensure an entertaining experience. While not flawless, it's a delightful homage to class...
