A Million Miles Away (2023) Rosa Parra “A Million Miles Away” had the potential to be more than an average biopic. The story of José Hernández is an inspirational and compelling one to tell. However, not all the ingredients mixed well with each other.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) Rosa Parra Cruise continues to showcase his fearless and adventurous persona which ultimately will always keep me coming back to his films, but this is an entry to the franchise that did leave a lot to be desired.

2/5
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Rosa Parra “Indian Jones and the Dial of Destiny”...pacing, the run time, and overall story prevents any potential rewatch, and it pains me to say this but maybe this gem of a franchise should be left alone or better yet, placed in a museum.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Rosa Parra “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is a visual exposition filled with childish jokes and underwritten characters. Phase Five has me asking why I should root for the little guy when there’s a titan like Majors portraying Kang.

Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls (2023) Rosa Parra “Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls” is certain to become a cult classic.

Women Talking (2022) Rosa Parra This is a powerfully acted ensemble that effortlessly has conversations with one another...A film whose female lens was necessary behind the camera since only other women would understand what it’s like to live in a patriarchal society

The Son (2022) Rosa Parra This was a heavy film to sit through. It explores divorce, various familial dynamics, suicidal thoughts and mental health awareness, just to name a few. The acting is mostly superb and the intention is there, but the execution falls flat.

Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (2022) Rosa Parra The film is gorgeously shot with many immersive scenes that are amplified by the sound design and editing. Iñárritu has always distinguished himself by telling stories about people’s connections.
