Frozen 2: The One That Actually Made Me a Fan

As expected, here I am reviewing Frozen 2, still on my mission to convince my daughter to dress as Elsa for Carnaval. So, let me cut to the chase—this sequel is way better than the first one. The story is more complex, with a cool Sámi-inspired cultural vibe that makes it feel more relevant, especially with all the nature spirit vs. humanity themes (which, let’s be real, we should all be worried about). This time, I actually cared about what was happening, and I didn’t feel like I was just sitting through a kids’ movie. Also, Elsa? She looks awesome. She finally gets to go full Avatar mode with her powers, and it makes a huge difference.


More Fun, Less Singing

The emotional stakes actually got to me—Elsa getting frozen and separated from Anna? That hit. I even started to appreciate the sisterly bond that the first movie was hammering on. And let’s talk about Sven and Kristoff—their whole wedding dilemma? Hilarious. But the real MVP? Olaf. He’s three times funnier in this one. The part where he retells Frozen 1 had me dying. Also, the music? Way better. Into the Unknown slaps. And I think there was less singing overall, or at least it felt that way, which is always a win for me. Nothing kills the pace of a movie more than breaking into song every five minutes.


This Sequel is Just Cooler

The animation and action scenes? Absolutely next level. That shot of Anna running on the bridge with the camera zooming on her feet? Great stuff. And the fire lizard, the water horse, the autumn color palette—everything about this movie just looks better. Honestly, this sequel improves the first movie, too, because it builds on it in such a great way. So yeah, I never thought I’d say this, but I’m officially a Frozen fan now. Feels kinda weird to admit, but whatever—bring on Frozen 3 in 2027! Hopefully, we won’t blow up the planet before then. And if you’re a dad who nearly fell asleep during Frozen 1, do yourself a favor—give this one a shot.

Frank Oz: From Worst to Best

I've finished my Frank Oz filmography a while back and hadn't had the time to post here the rank and some thoughts about his work. Let's try to refresh my memory and give you some of my opinions... man. Frank Oz is a true legend. At 81, he's not just a brilliant filmmaker but also a puppeteer and writer whose characters, from the Muppets to Sesame Street, have touched countless lives. His directing career is full of outstanding, entertaining movies; out of 14 films, there's really only one rotten apple in the bunch. I'm not sure if he's planning to make any more movies, but I'd love to see him try his hand at a serious drama, just to see him flex a different creative muscle. I wouldn't like to be that famous, I value my privacy. Mind you, Miss Piggy enjoys every moment of it. If it were not for me, she would spend all her time in the limelight.

Top 5 - Luc Besson

Hey everyone, and welcome back! While I've been posting regularly, it took me a little while to wrap up my thoughts on Luc Besson's filmography and put together this top 5 video. It's been 384 days since my last post on this topic, so I know this video is long overdue, but I hope you'll agree that it was worth the wait! Video Format: For the Visual Film Lovers For those who prefer watching over reading, this video is an easy-to-digest introduction to Luc Besson's movies. I've been wrestling with how to present my thoughts on a director whose career, for me, went from "Cinéma du look" to "cinema don't look." I apologize for the monotonous AI voice in the video; I'm just not that comfortable speaking English with my accent just yet. But...
