By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat Jason Bourne AKA David Webb is in my opinion cinema’s greatest spy. His skills in badassery have graced our screen for 14 years and his tortured soul has proven the ultimate thing to dissect on the screen. There’s such a thing as the “Bourne formula” which all the movies have followed since The […]

Trailer: Ben-Hur #2
Ben-Hur has a big task ahead of it if it wants to surpass the brilliance of the Charlton Heston led behemoth that was the original movie. The original won 11 Academy Awards which has never been surpassed and only equaled by Titanic and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. While the trailer for the remake intrigues me it […]
Now You See Me 2 – A Little too Smart for its Own Good
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat Movies are magical in more ways than one. They create fantastical worlds that only exist in the minds of people and have brought to life some of the most beloved fictional characters in the world. Now You See Me 2 is a movie about magic but sadly it creates little movie magic. Like a […]

Why the Real “Monuments Men” Were So Important
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat All the way back in November I entered a Remembrance Day essay contest here in Canada that was province wide. I wrote an essay titled; “The Monuments Men”.

Interview: Nick Serino, Sleeping Giant & the Canadian Screen Awards
Nick Serino is an up and coming actor from Thunder Bay who recently won a Canadian Screen Award (the Canadian Oscar’s equivalent) for his scene stealing turn in Sleeping Giant.

The Nice Guys – Supreme Comedy Noir
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat Shane Black is a fantastic writer. For me that is a fact that is undeniable. With the likes of Lethal Weapon, The Last Action Hero and The Long Kiss Goodnight all being penned by Black. But it wasn’t until Kiss Kiss Bang Bang that Black showed his directorial prowess as well. With The Nice Guys he has once again captured […]
High-Rise – A High Octane, Gory Experience
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat High-Rise is the typical Ben Wheatley movie. It’s super violent, really funny and its premise challenges the audience to actually think while watching it, which is a big plus in my mind. But the big difference with High-Rise is that Wheatley has been given a bigger budget and an amazing cast of well known actors […]

Captain America: Civil War – The Godfather of Superhero Movies
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat “Compromise where you can. Where you can’t, don’t. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say ‘No, you move!’.” Who knew […]
Classic Review: ’71 (2014)
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat In October of 2014 I ventured to the cinema in the UK (I was there on an exchange program). ’71 was a movie I had been following closely for months for two reasons. One it had one of the hottest new young actors in it in the form of Jack O’Connell. Secondly […]
Ranking Movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat Ranking your favourite Marvel movies is an impossible task. They create so much fun and exciting content that it’s impossible to narrow it down. But I like making the impossible possible. So here’s my attempt at not pissing off all Marvel fans and putting together my favourite Marvel movies up to now (it […]
