The Magic Of Unicorn Store
I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of Captain Marvel jokes made about this movie, hell I made one when I saw it pop up on Netflix before I even played it but I’m so glad I did. Unicorn Store stars, and is directed by Brie…
The Absurdity of America through Sorry To Bother You
The United States of America in 2018 is a weird place. Every day something happens that just sounds completely made up. Did you hear the one about the billionaire who was trying to build a mini submarine in order to misguidedly help a bunch of Thai boys that were trapped…
The Greatest Achievement of Avengers: Infinity War
This post contains spoilers. Don't Read anything else unless you want the movie spoiled. Avengers: Infinity War has finally done something that I’ve been begging for many years, it took them 10 years and 127 movies to finally kill someone. At the end of the post credits scene of…
The Breadwinner: It's Rain That Grows Flowers, Not Thunder
Perhaps the biggest strength of animation is that it can be used to tell stories that would otherwise be too difficult to tell through conventional live action. By employing animation, film makers can tell a difficult story without the viewer being too drawn away by the perils of what the…
The Good Villain
The following contains spoilers and if you haven't seen it you shouldn't read this. Don't act like I didn't warn you. The best thing about Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther is its villain. Even using the word “villain” to describe Erik Killmonger is doing a disservice to the character. Erik…
Paddington 2 and The Curse of "Kid's Movies"
I don't believe there's such a thing as "kid's movies". Maybe that's because I don't have children or maybe it's because I'm a bit immature but I feel like bad movies have long been masqueraded as "kid's movies". The Smurf movies are objectively bad movies, but…

This year I watched 38 movies that were released this year(4 of them were Netflix exclusive) and overall it was a good year though not particularly a great one for movies. Most of the movies I saw were in the B-C grade area with only one clear standout amongst…
The Most Important Sphere In All the Universe

Why You're Wrong About The Last Jedi
If you argue like Last Jedi didn't "feel" like Star Wars movie, what have you been watching?…
The Last Jedi Gave Me an Existential Crisis
To say I was too hyped going into The Last Jedi would probably be an understatement. I, like a majority of people, have loved this franchise for as long as I can remember and it means a lot to me. After reading Rian Johnson's bold script, JJ Abrams stated that…
Thor: Ragnarok is Disney Trying To Get Ahead of Superhero Fatigue
Thor: Ragnarok would be much better if it wasn’t a Thor movie. It’s not that I don’t like Chris Hemsworth or Tom Hiddleston but I just keep thinking how much better the movie would be if it was Chris Hemsworth as some sort of uber strong spaceman,…

The Miracle of Blade Runner 2049
Before I even start this, Don't read it if you haven't watched the movie. There's all the spoilers. Every single one. Blade Runner 2049 is a really good movie, it’s visually striking, it’s impeccably acted and directed, the world in which it takes place is fascinating, the sounds…
