If we’re being completely honest, comedies in the recent months have not worked. Sometimes the idea is there, but the execution or the script fails the film. The Little Hours is not one of those films. It’s not only one of the craziest comedies you’ve seen in a while, it’s also the most ingenious. Below are some reasons […]
‘Dunkirk’ Review: Nolan’s Masterpiece
Christopher Nolan is one of the greatest directors working today. There’s no point in arguing about that because everyone seems to agree.

Jacques Cousteau, filmmaker, explorer, scientist and much much more, once said that people protect what they love.
