When I got into films, I spent hours reading through different lists of “best of all time” movies, reading various discussion forums where people would talk about classics, and, surprisingly, this movie wasn’t mentioned much. I think the first time I remember hearing about The Red Shoes was regarding La La Land (2016) and how certain scenes took inspiration…

I am not going to lie; this was the biggest surprise of the 96th Academy Awards for me, as I hadn’t heard much about Nyad before this at all. And when I say at all, I mean I wasn’t aware of Diana Nyad either. This meant I was the perfect audience for this movie, given my lack…

If there are two genres I love, it’s action and sci-fi. By that logic, if you combine them and do them well, I tend to enjoy myself and have a blast with those films. So when I heard of this movie, I was hopeful going into it because I remember seeing it when it landed…

Like many others, I must have seen the trailer for this movie at least fifty times. One of the reasons why I was happy about this film finally coming out was that I knew I wouldn’t have to watch that trailer again. It is the same trailer that had me worried about Argylle from the beginning, as…

There are some directors who are so out there that you know they will never be able to make a “normal” film, whatever that word means to you. I always say we should be grateful for them as those are usually the ones who can challenge us the most or introduce us to new ideas…

When you see a January movie (the month where movies go to die) called The Beekeeper, starring Jason Statham, you should know what you are getting yourself into. Some people might be buzzing with joy, and some might bee a tad underwhelmed, but don’t worry yourself too much, honey; the movie is as bad as this sentence. And…
