Prepare for the unexpected as we delve into our movie picks, from the unexpected plot of Barbie to the mind-bending Fight Club and The Divide. Our showstopper is the Japanese film Shin Masked Rider - a riveting tale of extraordinary hybrids powered by an intriguing substance called Piranha. We also sprinkle in a dash of comedy with Murder Mystery 2 and bring you the chilling exorcism rituals depicted in films. Trust us, you'll leave with a list of must-watch films! Lastly, we take a cinematic journey back in time, exploring the mesmerizing world of Sergio Leone's classic western movie, Once Upon a Time in the West. We break down the film's themes, storylines, and draw comparisons to other silent protagonist films. From analyzing the iconic cold open, Leone's framing of shots, to the use of music in storytelling, we leave no stone unturned. And to wrap up, we brainstorm on our top Halloween film suggestions.
