David Fincher’s Se7en is a crime thriller that has become one of my favorite film of all-time. It initially appears as your typical run-of-the-mill serial killer movie but manages to go against all the viewer’s expectations. Fincher crafted an incredibly dark and bleak movie and the absolutely shocking final twist takes you aback like very few movies I have seen have ever managed to do.

A Deeper Look Into Mulholland Dr. (2001)
Mulholland Dr. is one of the most enigmatic and elusive movie of the decade and has left countless viewers feeling confused, baffled, stunned or even cheated and angry. Many have asked how such cryptic piece of non-sense could even be considered as art. Mulholland Dr. is like a puzzle with many pieces that do not fit anywhere. It is a fact of life that David Lynch’s movies are not for everyone: They require multiple and highly focused viewing and simply are too “open” for interpretation for some people.
