The summer blockbuster season has officially started and boy am I excited! After Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2, Alien: Covenant and the surprisingly decent Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, there’s nowhere we can go but up. But to be perfectly honest, I wasn’t necessarily looking forward to Baby Driver. Sure it was constantly […]
Our Favourite Films of 2017 (So Far)
It’s no doubt that 2017 has been another great year for movies. With so many films, it was hard for our team to choose our favourites from the first half of the year, but we did it! It’s safe to say our team has an eclectic and varied taste in films and we’re excited to […]
‘Okja’ Review: Zany and Important
As far as visual conceptual is concerned, Bong Joon Ho’s Okja not only flourishes, but leaps into some of the most engaging spectacles of the year so far. From the costumes to the sets, there’s always something interesting to look at. While that is happening, there is simultaneously a struggle to maintain balance in what […]
‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ is a Knight to Forget (Yeah, that’ll do.)
And so, yet another entry in Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise is released, and with it comes the now almost a decade old film press tradition of autopsying it like a bloated corpse dragged out of a sewer. Yes, surprising absolutely nobody Transformers: The Last Knight, is a load of old toilet. To be fair, it’s […]
‘The Hero’ Review: A Character Study that Resonates
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about The Hero is that it is this year’s Birdman. This is one of the biggest compliments I could give a film. The story centers around an aging Western icon, Lee Hayden who, thanks to a viral video has a chance at reviving his career in the movies. Along […]

While trying to navigate the unforgiving landscape, Arlen is captured by a savage band of cannibals led by the mysterious Miami Man (Jason Momoa).

Four Female Directors Deserving of a Bigger Budget
Patty Jenkins’s Wonder Woman is undeniably a success. The film’s heavy praise and love is seen in audience and critics, in addition to all demographics alike. The film is faring incredible from a financial standpoint as well, receiving the lowest second weekend drop for a comic book film since Batman Begins. It is extremely uncommon […]
‘Rough Night’ Makes For a Surprisingly Fun Night!
I’m either on an overwhelming amount of various drugs that have distorted my brain recently, or the world has just gone insane. Because it seems that one of the most generic-looking comedies of the year has just surpassed Disney-Pixar’s most recent film, at least in my opinion. Just like almost every other person who saw […]
‘The Book of Henry’ is the worst film of 2017, so far
2015’s Jurassic World destroyed box office records – something no one quite saw coming. It’s not even insulting to the fact to it’s big-budgeted, post-production, tattered, derivative nature though. It’s insulting because the man who made it is Colin Trevorrow, and that after that mess he makes an equally worse mess of a movie that’s […]
