Night Shift follows three police officers: Virginie, Erik, and Aristide. After volunteering for overtime, the trio is tasked with escorting an illegal immigrant to the airport. What could go wrong? The movie (which also goes…

It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years since Buried was released. I can only imagine that the pitch for 90 minutes of a man in a coffin must have been difficult; and…

The Social Dilemma is one of the latest Netflix Original documentaries to be released by the platform. In many ways, it feels like an unofficial prequel to The Great Hack, another anti-social media documentary by Netflix.…

It’s been 10 years since the release of Catfish. Since then, we’ve watched as society’s view of internet dating has flipped. At one time, finding a partner online was essentially considered a final resort for…

When you hear that Netflix is releasing a documentary involving comedians, actors, chefs, musicians, and others, all sharing their psychedelic drug trip stories, what do you imagine? Whacky animations? Bizarrely retro skits? Nick Offerman dressed…

It’s very easy to lose yourself in a great movie. This is even truer when movies join together to form a movie universe: a movieverse. Regardless of your opinion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU),…

Galaxy Quest represents a relic from a by-gone era: one where spoofs and parodies were produced far more frequently. Gone are the days where we could see Charlie Sheen or Leslie Nielsen appearing in a…

Sextuplets is the latest comedy released by Netflix. In a similar manner to The Nutty Professor and Norbit, the gimmick of this movie is that one actor plays multiple characters, several of whom are female. Starring…

Monty Python’s Life of Brian is one of the finest examples of British comedy. The movie is considered a classic. One that is enjoyed by generations old and new. Nowadays, we can view the movie’s…

“Last year, data surpassed oil in value!” These are the words of Brittany Kaiser, one of the people of interest within The Great Hack. In a time where almost everybody has a smartphone full of…

I’ve always been a fan of action-thrillers that involve corrupt cops. From Filth and Lakeview Terrace to Training Day and The Departed. The trailer for Point Blank suggests that it will follow the budding bromance…

“In October of 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland while shooting a documentary. A year later their footage was found.” — The Blair Witch Project These are the words that mark…

Netflix has been churning out documentary after documentary, and Life Overtakes Me is the latest. With a relatively short runtime of just 40 minutes, it follows several refugee families living in Sweden. Each of these…

After 30 years, what makes Batman (1989) truly unique within the franchise? Despite the movie’s title, this isn’t a Batman movie. A pretty bold claim, I know. I’ll admit that it had been about a…

Hakuna Matata: words that have stuck with us for the past 25 years. The phrase may translate as literally meaning “no problem”, but most of us just remember it as being the catchphrase of Timon…

I’ve always described Moon as being a bit of a hidden gem. There’s a sweet simplicity to it, and as far as sci-fi movies go it’s relatively down to Earth (which somewhat contradicts the movie’s…

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since Knowing first appeared on the big screen. If you asked 15-year-old me what he thinks of this flick, he’d tell you that it’s an excellent…

Do you see what happens when the imagination is super-imposed upon the historical event? It becomes a story… – N. Scott Momaday You should never judge a book by its cover. These are words we’re…

Filth was released way back in 2013 but after completing my article on the top 10 James McAvoy performances, I decided to re-watch it. If you’ve read any of my posts before, you’ll know I…

With Dark Phoenix, IT: Chapter 2, and Glass due out for release next year, I felt like it was time to look at one of the main cast members of all of those films: James…

I’m going to be honest with you: when I first saw the trailer for Outlaw King, I was full of nothing but doubts. My initial expectations surrounding the abilities of both Chris Pine and Aaron…

Let’s look back to the year 2000, the release year of Unbreakable. Who could foresee that the movie would lead to not only a sequel, but an extended universe? Back then, the superhero genre was…

The first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! The second rule of flight club is: you do NOT talk about fight club! I can only apologize to the infamous…

Slenderman is perhaps better known as a terror-inducing game that starts the player off in the woods with a torch and only one objective: finding 8 pieces of paper. The catch? These 8 drawings (presumably…

Star Wars: Once such a solid franchise appears to be on the ropes a little these days. The opinions from the fan base fluctuate drastically from one movie to the next. The Force Awakens, Rogue…

I’m sure I’ve not been alone in thinking that Hollywood really needs to focus on a great villain-oriented movie. I’ve said it about Voldemort before and I’ve discussed why Suicide Squad doesn’t count. But now,…

OK, so I’m slightly exaggerating…but let me start this article off by stating that I am a Marvel fanboy. Now that that is out the way, here comes my criticism. I’m sure I’m not surprising…

For those of you perhaps oblivious to what The Purge movies are about, allow me to give you a quick summary. In 2014, after an economic collapse, the “new founding fathers” introduced an idea that…

You may know Holes (2003) as the simple tale of Stanley Yelnats III and his run of bad luck that puts him in Camp Green Lake. In truth, Holes covers a wide range of topics…
