It’s been a recent practice over the last decade or so for Disney, starting with Cinderella (2015), to remake their beloved animated classics into live action. So it was purely inevitable they’d get to the very early works as an animation studio, and there hasn’t been one that screams classic Disney than this new Pinocchio remake…

There’s a point very early on in writer-director Carolina Markowicz’s debut film Charcoal where I found myself baffled by how crass and horribly earnest the new nurse (Aline Marta Maia) who came by to treat Irene’s (Maeve Jinkings) father was. Irene was innocently explaining how she hoped he could get better and the nurse just…

The themes of gentrification, of losing part of your legacy and heritage will always feel so universal to those who witness it first hand or live it on a day-to-day basis. The newest John Baker film is no different in this regard, tackling these ideas head-on engulfed in a fun, comedic heist film in the…

In the same vein as movies about women with a specific set of skills surviving obscene circumstances in the past decade, such as The Shallows with Blake Lively, ‘Crawl’ with Kaya Scodelario, and ‘Infinite Storm’ with Naomi Watts, “FALL” directed by Scott Mann and starring Grace Caroline Currey doesn’t add anything new to this specific…

The Predator franchise has been a very prominent one in pop culture since the first film released back in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger to the point where even if you haven’t seen any of the films you have a basic understanding of who the character is, what it’s purpose is and the general plot thread…

Taika Waititi’s follow-up to the massively successful 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok follows our titular hero Thor (Chris Hemsworth) as he battles against a new threat, Gorr The God Butcher (Christian Bale) with the help of his friends King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) who has now become The Mighty Thor…

“If you don’t try things, you don’t succeed do ya’? You just gotta keep trying.” This simple quote early on in the film’s runtime concisely summarizes the drive the main character Brian (David Earl) has throughout. It’s about a man who is driven to create something that many of us can relate to if we…

Living with guilt and regret is something truly horrific. If it’s not channeled, it can consume every fiber of your being. A mistake, a single solitary mistake, can cost you your sanity and your mental stability. Obsession is also a feeling that can bring positive outcomes, but this film tackles the notion of what can…

Dan Mirvish’s latest film, 18 1/2, constructs the narrative amid Watergate as a White House transcriber and seemingly obtains the only known copy of the infamous 18 1/12 minute gap of the Nixon tapes.  I’m a sucker for politically driven narratives with such classics as ‘All The President’s Men’ and ‘Good Night and Good Luck’, so when…

Letting go is hard. It’s something that if it’s not properly channeled it can consume your very soul. That’s the deep rooted thematic premise in the new entry in the Top Gun franchise, 𝑻𝒐𝒑 𝑮𝒖𝒏: 𝑴𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌, directed by Joseph Kosinski. The movie is technically very well made. The action set pieces are majestic and demand…
