Sisu has had a strange life. Made by the same team that gave us Rare Exports, it landed fairly quietly at TIFF 2022. Its reception was warm enough, however, to be picked up for distribution. Although its US release didn’t light the box office on fire, it performed quite well relative to its budget and […]

Historia: Braveheart
Braveheart is a film that needs little introduction. It won five Academy Awards and has been held in high regard by audiences. It has an 8.3 score on IMDB from 1.1 million users. It’s also the poster child for historical inaccuracies in movies. William Wallace (Mel Gibson) was a humble farmer who suffered at the […]

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery Review
In the middle of Good Friday Mass, a priest drops dead in an anteroom directly off the altar. A firebrand, this priest – Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (a very good Josh Brolin) – hasn’t exactly endeared himself to the community at large (or to the new, young priest assigned to the parish). But he does have […]
Wicked: For Good Review
Wicked was one of the biggest hits of 2024, earning $759 million at the box office, acclaim from audiences and critics, and earning awards recognition. The sequel has become a highly anticipated film because of this success. Five years after the events of Wicked, Elphaba Thropp (Cynthia Erivo) has been leading a resistance against the […]
Hamnet Review

Christmas Karma Review
A Christmas Carol is one of the most famous stories in literature and has been adapted countless times. Gurinder Chadha has modernised the story as a musical that focuses on British-Indian culture. Mr. Sood (Kunal Nayyar) is a wealthy businessman and a lonely miser. After ruining Christmas for many people, he gets a warning from […]
Keeper Review
With Longlegs, director Osgood Perkins burst onto the scene. It may have been his fourth movie, but it represented a stark evolution of his style into something more technically precise, more tonally playful, while still staring into the darkness. That shift, combined with Neon’s brilliant marketing and audience hunger for Maika Monroe’s return to horror, […]

The Now You See Me series has returned after a nine-year break and sees a new generation of magicians join the Four Horsemen. The Four Horsemen have not performed together for 10 years until a surprise appearance in the Bushwick neighbourhood of New York City. However, this gig was really performed by three young magicians, […]
