Guardians of the Galaxy 3: A Roller Coaster Ride of Emotion
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 exceeded expectations, delivering a roller coaster ride of emotions. Despite initial reservations, the film left the audience deeply moved and emotionally upset.

The film excellently portrayed the truly evil and detestable nature of the main antagonist, which greatly intensified the emotional impact on the audience.
Scary Films: The Witch and Hereditary
Two recent horror films, The Witch and Hereditary, offered spine-chilling experiences. The Witch tells the story of a puritan family cast out from their community and living near a spooky forest. It expertly captures a sense of dread and paranoia as the family becomes entangled in supernatural forces, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. Hereditary, set in modern times, delves into a family's involvement with a demon-worshipping cult. Though the second half was less impressive, the film had its share of terrifying moments and an unforgettable goat character that added to the creepy factor.
