The Last Rodeo

It was a touching story of a retired professional bull rider coming out of retirement to enter a rising stars vs legends tournament for money to help pay for surgery for his grandson. Tugged at the heartstrings a bit - 3/5
 
I also watched the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie today. And yeah, it was loooong. It's over 30 minutes longer than Mugen Train.

Story SPOILERS and thoughts below...

RIP best girl. :( She was impressive in her final move, especially considering she was already well past her limits. It was very touching when Zenitsu's regrets and resolution finally culminated in momentarily seeing his late gramps-sensei in the afterlife, giving him the closure he needed. While Akaza's flashback is my top favorite in the manga, I admittedly felt fatigued by the time we finally reached it in the movie. Again, this was a long one. I guess the length is my only complaint. Giyu's initial unlocking of his Demon Slayer Mark, along with the accompanying epic OST, was the most hype scene for me. It's kind of a shame that he was paired with Tanjiro, though. Of course the MC would end up stealing most of the spotlight. The Transparent World is a fire concept. Fantastic movie, but it's the next part I've always been most looking forward to.
Just saw it yesterday. Akaza had me in tears man.
 
Kpop demon hunters

Bro, I saw so many shipping things on instagram with the saja boys and huntrix,
didn't know all the demons were just gonna die at the end, even tho they're obviously gonna come back due to the cat and pigeon still being alive, well I hope cause I almost cried during jinu's death.
Overall score 9/10
Hated soda pop, most of facial expressions were annoying, but most of the songs were bangers. My only criticism was how much focus rumi and jinu got compared to everyone else, but I understand that the other saja boys were just random demons created for Jinu's plan. Even tho habing more focus on Mira and Zoe and their dynamic without rumo would've been cool, maybe have a duo song between them while rumi is having a break down then Mira and Zoe perform their own song instead of the awful golden attempt
 
The Silence of the Lambs. 10/10

Amazing thriller with beautiful and hauting music by Howard Shore, especially during the confrontation with Buffalo Bill and final scene where Hannibal calls Clarice.

Jodie Foster is wonderful as Clarice Sterling, a newbie but also really strong and smart woman still easy to sympathize and root for, showing moments of vulnerabilities but always bouncing back.

Ted Levine is amazingly creepy and terrifying as Buffalo Bill, the serial killer who abducts and kills women for their skins, but still shows genuine love for his dog and that he's not without a small measure of empathy and guilt. It's a shame Levine's career suffered from being unable of escaping the shadow of this character.

And of course the true star of the movie is Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the cannibal psychatrist who can read you just with a look and can smell which perfurmes you use, whose culture, intelligence and charisma make him impossible to hate despite his monstruous actions. One of the best performances and movie antagonists of all time.
