Bird Box





A post-apocalyptic scenario without zombies. Is that possible? Yes! And with quite an interesting result to be honest. Bird Box, with Sandra Bullock, brings us a new look upon this vastly explored scenario of an apocalyptic event.

It wasn’t as scary as I read it would be, your heart will not race a lot, but it’s a pretty decent movie and a good time, definitely. It might seem a little slow in the beginning but as the story unfolds, it will most certainly catch and hold your attention until the very end.

The protagonist is a very curious choice, as well as the way the story develops. Her internal growth is obvious, but also her very own individual goals. Rather than trying to find an explanation for whatever is happening or how it might all come to be, all she wants is to reach shelter, both for herself and the children. However, she won’t look like the perfect mother that will do everything for her babies. That makes this movie truly stand out from most others takes on similar stories.

The children are protagonists in a way but a bit too shallow. They didn’t seem to elaborate their thoughts or desires, as they do not fight back on the commands they are given or even misbehave, ever. It simply didn’t come across as realistic as it could’ve been.

However, what’s really great in this movie is its originality and the environment in which our deepest fears are explored. What would you do if, suddenly you couldn’t rely on your sight anymore, when currently the majority of us rely on our eyes for basically everything?

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

  Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed.  This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

  In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
