Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell
(2021)

Must-see for hip-hop fans
A well put together walkthrough of Biggie's life and career, displaying his journey from the struggle and life of crime to one of the most influential artists in hip-hop and in the music scene on the 20th century. A story of ambition, struggle, family, loyalty and belief. Definitely a must-see. 8/10.

Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly
(2019)

Not much of a documentary, but it's very watchable
This is more of a behind the scenes of Astroworld with a bunch of live performances clip. It doesn't really tells us much we didn't know before, so don't expect that. However, if you like him this is very entertaining.

Smultronstället
(1957)

One of Bergman's finest
If you want to start a journey through Bergman movies this is the first you should pick. With Victor Sjöström, swedish movie legend, this is a film that explores existentialism by representing the emptiness the old professor felt after a life of coldness. A movie that includes the present and the past, the dream and the reality and full of flashbacks. Isak's dreams and nightmares either represent his good times as a child or death in a very surrealist way.

Trainspotting
(1996)

An underrated masterpiece!
"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career... But why would I want to do a thing like that?" Even if you haven't seen Trainspotting, you'll be aware of the opening lines of Danny Boyle's 1996 masterpiece, and those opening lines are a pure reflection of whats going to happen and why you should avoid doing whats been done in the whole movie, if you want the option to "Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career....". I saw this movie recently and in my opinion it's a masterpiece, a lot of people don't give the deserved credit to this movie simply because they've missed the point of the movie, this is not a drug appealing movie, this is a anti-drug movie. Trainspotting is brave enough to bring a humour and levity to the subject of drug abuse, without ever ignoring the accompanying and unavoidable squalor and devastation, and that's why this movie deserves so much credit, after 20 years this is still useful to reflect about life choices and drugs.

Psycho
(1960)

A true masterpiece !
An absolute masterpiece, directed by Alfred Hitchcok, this is the best thriller-horror movie i've ever seen, you can watch it all over several times without become boring, even then you know secret of the film, it's always fascinating, Perkins fits in the character like 10/10, i don't even know why he didn't been nominated for an Oscar, somehow this film reminded me of "The Silence of The Lambs", in which Anthony Hopkins played this big role of "Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter", Norman Bates is a psychologically damaged guy, which supposedly lives "alone" in a old hotel, and lives in his mom's house, i loved that plot twist at the end, a true masterpiece.
