In a decade, a massive chunk of our lives has ended up in our smartphones. Our daily lives depend heavily on this helpful yet addicting device that can deliver us the world with just a flick of a finger. What happens when our phone, a big part of our lives, ends up in strangers’ hands? […]
Masterlist of 2022 – Every Movie, Show & Kdrama I Saw Last Year
Though I haven’t talked about movies, TV shows or even Kdramas here in over a year, I’m still watching them! Maybe not as consistently as I used to and not as eagerly every month, but I still find solace in fictional characters and their stories brought to life on screen. I just have been finding […]
Hating The Hating Game – Spoiler Free Review
I have mentioned this in passing but one of the reasons I really enjoy Kdramas these days is because they feature a lot of traditional romcom elements. The kind that used to be very present in western cinema and TV… but has slowly disappeared. Granted they are mostly silly, sexist and create unrealistic expectations in […]
Masterlist of 2021 – Every Movie, Show & Kdrama I Saw Last Year
Happy fucking new year! I know it’s a bit late and I’m posting this masterlist later than planned but life, you know. Plus it’s not normal if I don’t decide to do something outlandish for my first post of 2022. Masterlist of 2021 seemed like the way to go and I really went all out. […]
Caught in the Web of Cinematic History – Spider-Man No Way Home (2021) Spoiler Review
I’m not gonna bet anything on this but I’m pretty certain my first superhero movie was Tobey Macguire’s Spider-Man. The only one that can change my answer is X-Men but I’m pretty sure I saw it a few years after it came out. Regardless Spider-Man has been in my life for almost 20 years and […]
I Am Too Single All the Way… Thank You for the Reminder, Netflix
Last December I thought it was a great idea to torture myself with 24 Christmas romance movies. It was basically a 24-day horror fest because 98% of the movies were awful. Though I must admit by the end the alright ones started to feel Oscar worthy cause there are some god awful holiday romance movies […]
When Love Turns Sour – House of Gucci (2021) Review
To be completely honest I have no fucking idea where to start off this review. It’s been ages since I’ve written down my thoughts about a movie in a proper review form. With all that time passing it seems I have forgotten how to word my thoughts and opinions. But there’s one thing I’m completely […]
The Lamb Devours the Oscars 2021 – Best Director
The 2021 Oscar nominees for Best Director are Lee Isaac Chung (Minari), Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman), David Fincher (Mank), Thomas Vinterberg (Another Round), and Chloé Zhao (Nomadland). As of this very moment when I haven’t really dwelled on who should win this category, I have no idea. I only know that while I adore […]
The Lamb Devours the Oscars 2021 – Best Picture – Sound of Metal
I’ve always struggled with expressing my love and admiration towards things I love. Being critical is always somehow easier and I guess that’s why this is the first time I’m writing about Sound of Metal on my blog. Yes, my 2020 favourite movie and I haven’t mentioned it once here on Mettel Ray. I’ve praised […]
When I’m Done Dying (2020)
After posting solely Thursday Movie Picks for a month I figured it was about time to review something. This November I have had the opportunity to participate in the 24th Black Nights Film Festival. An event that is near and dear to my heart. Due to the pandemic a lot of the movies are available […]
