✨ Frankenstein for 'Best Picture.' It's that good.

And yes, I'm a big Oscar Isaac fan. I won't get into it so as not to ruin the movie for those who haven't watched it. But that may be the best Frankenstein film to date. Guillermo Del Toro is just awesome (if you haven't watched any of his other films).

Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, FRANKENSTEIN is on Netflix November 7. Starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, with Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz.
Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.

Wowza.

Just finished watching @RealGDT ‘s #Frankenstein and what a masterpiece. The cinematography, the acting, the set and costume design, all of it. My goodness, what a feast of cinema. pic.twitter.com/Tzed9ffLTe

Guillermo del Toro puts all of his skills to bear in Frankenstein as he goes for a tale of tragedy, romance, and redemption rather than a straight horror flick.

Frankenstein (2025)
A truly remarkable and beautiful film. The costume,set,makeup design is all spot on and one of the most visually stunning films of the year. Wasn’t disappointed at all and was overall passionate and emotional ride from start to finish. #Frankenstein #Netflix pic.twitter.com/dNavtc2MpW

I'm a 1.5 generation immigrant—Filipino-born, U.S.-raised—sharing stories that bridge cultures. Share yours at PINOYBUILT.com. I’m still learning about our roots, and I invite you to learn with me. I was born in Makati City and raised in Marikina, known for world-class shoes and strong community ties. I went to Marist School; my sister went to St. Scholastica’s. We spent weekends in Malate—those memories of old Manila still shape who I am. At 9, we moved to Chicago, where I saw snow for the first time. At 12, we relocated to Vallejo, CA. Since then, I’ve lived in Davis,Glendale (SoCal), back to Chicago in my 20s, San Francisco & Fremont. I visit SoCal often for family. Chicago will always be special—but go Golden State Warriors! At UC Davis, I was a member of Mga Kapatid, where I had the chance to participate in Pilipino Culture Night and perform traditional dances like Bangko. Now, as a father of three, I’m doing my best to pass on our Filipino heritage. Let’s build something Filipino together. Mabuhay. Salamat.
