One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
10/10.
Amazing movie that is a mix of heartfelt moments, hard moments and the harsh cruelty of what psychatric hospitals were for a long time with the monotony and often abuse and tortures inflicted on the patients. A mix of humanity and drama.
Jack Nicholson delivers one of the best acting performances of all times, being at the same time a scumbag and a very human character who cares for his fellow patients and treats them far more humanly and does more for their mental health than the institution supposed to help them.
Louise Fletcher is diabolical as Nurse Ratchet, one of the most hateable and realistic villains in cinema history as a stone hearted, manipulative, tyrannical and sadistic nurse who cares far more about her control over her patients and enjoying their pain than helping them.
The other inmates, played other amazing actors such as Will Sampson, Christopher Loyd, Brad Dourif, or Sydney L'association also deliver incredible performances and makes it very easy to pity and sympathize with them.
The movie has some iconic scenes such as the moment when Jack Nicholson imitates a baseball game for his fellow inmates, showing the power of imagination even in a terrible environment, or the fishing boat scene, and the various therapies.
A movie that deserved its oscars.

Arco, a french animated movie about a kid from the long future going into the past, arriving in a period of time closer to ours but still in the future where robots are levitating vehicles are common, with him meeting and befriending a girl who'll try to help him return to the future.
Very beautiful animation and music, the characters may be classical kids and adults archetypes but they work well and are attaching, even the trio of brothers who looked like antagonists at first but turn out to be nice, and the robot Mikki is very human as well. The inspiration from the Ghibli studio animated movies is very visible.

Zootopia 2 - 9.2/10

I went into the film blind not having watched Zooptopia 1 but I really liked Gary De' Snake and I was pleasantly surprised to see Ke Huy Quan in the ending credited as his voice. Always nice to see a fellow Viet doing well...
I hope they do a Zooptopia 3 but maybe not a 9 year wait lol

Ip Man 2
A downgrade of the original. The British actors and their characters have aome of the most pathetic acting performances I have ever seen and I watched Squid Game.
The fights themselves are mostly good but lack what made Ip Man 1 so special - there the fights had a thematic weight to them. Each fight told its own story.
Ip Man 2 tries to up the ante and it is evident most in the Fish Market fight. Really out of place with the amount of foes Ip and his student need to contend with.
Ip vs the masters on the other hand felt more in line with the vibe of the original movie.
All in all, if this is the direction it has headed, I'll not continue with the series.
