Cinephile navigating Lebanese life through films, history, and politics. Gaming on the side. My takes on the big screen and Beirut streets here.

I watched all the Best Picture nominees for the #Oscars. I still think #Hamnet is my favorite. It's in a world of its own. #filmsky

I thought #SentimentalValue would give more. I did like it, and the acting was great, but I don't think it's as groundbreaking as people make it out to be. For some reason, Scandinavian cinema still feels a bit cold for my liking. #filmsky

I feel pushed away from middle-ground compromises in Lebanese politics. You'd get robbed, buried, and eaten alive based on goodwill thinking. So no coming #elections, I want the most radical alternative; let everything burn to the ground because we're barely surviving in our current status. #Lebanon

On the AUB campus, learning comes with a few extra classmates! Featured by @npr.org, AUB has become an unexpected sanctuary for hundreds of cats abandoned during conflict and economic hardship—cared for by a community that believes compassion matters.

Jessie Buckley's performance in #Hamnet is the equivalent of Daniel Day-Lewis's acting in There Will Be Blood. Yes, it's that iconic and a once-in-a-generation performance; she better win that #Oscar. #filmsky

Between the #Beirut Port Explosion and the collapsing building in #Tripoli there is a link. The authorities in both cases knew of the impending crisis that could take place and just did nothing. #Lebanon

In #Tripoli, #Lebanon, there are over 114 buildings at risk of collapsing. 114 that's a scary number, because of corruption & state negligence. What a catastrophic status we led ourselves into.

You don't need to read poems when you can see visual poetry unfold and absorb it in a Terrence Malick film. #filmsky 📽

Choosing a therapist carefully is one of the most important decisions you can make. It's a lifeline that should never be taken lightly, as bad therapy can be worse than no therapy.

I feel like watching Breaking Bad all over again. Timeless

One day later, I'm still thinking of #Hamnet #filmsky.

#ThePlague reminds you how horrifying boys can be with bullying, a sort of modern-day retelling of "Lord of the Flies" on social hierarchy, cruelty, & eventual alienation as a consequence. I don't think its a great film, but it does have interesting questions worth thinking about. #filmsky 📽

Not everyone can handle the emotional stress of movies. I know someone who really can't watch a film without knowing the ending beforehand. #filmsky 📽️

#Hamnet just happened to be one of the most beautiful films I've ever experienced. Emotional, moving, heartfelt. Just no words... #cinema.
Will take some time for the tears to dry though. This film will live forever. #filmsky

#ThePlague & #Hamnet are finally out on digital release. Will make a good Friday watch been looking forward to watching them for some time. #filmsky

It's strange that some were complaining about historical accuracy when there's a cyclops in #TheOdyssey, and now the casting of Lupita Nyongo as Helen. People should realize myths aren't strict historical documentaries; they're stories that evolve. #NolansOdyssey

The Last of the Mohicans has one of the best movie intros to ever exist. It gives me goosebumps each time I watch it. It screams epicness & timeless love. The movie just seems forgotten these days,but its one of those classics that stays in my heart. #filmsky

Apparently, #MELANIA is on its way to becoming a disastrous commercial flop, with one critic saying, "I'd rather rewatch January 6th." Seriously, though, who asked for this? #filmsky
