It was 9 a.m on April 2nd. Social media had gone berserk the night before, with mention of advance ticket sales opening that day. I opened up online booking right after getting out of bed, and was ready to buy myself a nice little ticket for something al ...
Why Alita: Battle Angel is the movie you absolutely need to watch, and not Captain Marvel (Not a full on review)
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge marvel fan and my views on topics like feminism and female empowerment are neutral at best. However, I am seriously disappointed that a movie like Captain Marvel is soaring at the box office simply because of two things: 1. ...
Between the lines: Incredibles 2
14 years ago, the world was starting to see signs of a superhero film genre that would soon balloon up to unimaginable heights of success. One such notable film was the Incredibles. It was the perfect movie at the time, one which revolved around a family ...
Black Panther’s Oscar Nomination: A mistake?
As far back as spring last year, we've been hearing news about BP generating oscar buzz. This surely isn't a first for Marvel, which seems to be churning out movies on a yearly basis, and yet makes them even better than their predecessors. Black Panther ...
Best movies of 2018
Is it just me or has this year gone by incredibly slowly? Normally memories feel like they just occurred yesterday, but for some reason January feels like it was a year ago. Which it was, but you get my drift right? ANYWAY, 2018 brought with it a lot ...
Spiderman: Into the spider-verse – Movie Review
Spiderman is undoubtedly one of the most popular comic book characters of all time. With a string of successful films that led the new comic book wave in the early 2000’s, the character has truly earned its place as one of the most beloved heroes in Marv ...
Why is Marvel so successful?
Ten and a half years ago, I sat in a movie theatre with two family members and a bucket of cheese popcorn to be shared amongst ourselves. The air-conditioning system for the entire mall had conked out, leaving us feeling warm like the film's titular chara ...
Creed 2 – Movie Review
I'll be honest; I haven't watched a whole lot of movies that came out before the 2000's. Watched a few from the 90's, a bunch from the 80's, and much less from any decade prior. That isn't to say I haven't watched any of the classics, just that I'm too b ...
Ralph Breaks The Internet – Movie Review
I never saw Wreck it Ralph till October this year, and that was only because the promos for the new one seemed really good. The movie was fantastic itself, and I couldn't wait to buy tickets for the sequel. So much so that I bought tickets for a day that ...
Fantastic Beasts: The crimes of Grindelwald – Movie Review
Harry Potter had been a huge part of my childhood growing up. The Marvel films started their run a little later in my life, but the HP series really served as a parallel reality of sorts for all the kids born in the 90's. They opened my mind up in terms o ...
Thugs of Hindostan – Movie Review
I'm not the biggest Bollywood fan, that's pretty much a given. Every once in while though, we get a movie that exceeds expectations and becomes renowned as a classic. Most of these are produced by none other than Aamir Khan, and earn as much revenue as th ...
Badhaai Ho – Movie Review
I wasn’t the biggest Bollywood fan back in the early 2000’s. Most of all Hindi cinema in the 90’s revolved around the idea of slapstick comedy, which reflected society at the time; a world free from struggle for the most part, and people getting bored wit ...
Bad times at the El Royale – Movie Review
Let’s be honest, not a whole lot of people knew about this movie before its release, save for a poster and character promos. Needless to say, the theatre I sat in was completely packed. Chris Hemsworth had posted something on Instagram about how this was ...
Venom – Movie Review
To be honest, I had very little expectations before going in for this movie. The first trailer that was released didn't do well with its target audience, and the second promo was only a little bit better. To make matters worse, not only did Sony lift the ...
