The Despicable Me series and the Minions are extremely popular and a financial juggernaut that made Illumination into one of the biggest animation studios in Hollywood.

This post continues this analysis, noting how the last […]
If there one thing we never really saw during Game of Thrones it was just how destructive dragons could be. Sure, we got to see Dany mow down enemies in battle from time to time, but the true destruction and loss of life wrought by her posse of dragons was always at her behest – […]
Celebrated Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos follows up on the success of The Favourite and Poor Things with something more experimental with the anthology film Kinds of Kindness. Kinds of Kindness tells three stories. The first, “The Death of R.M.F.” follows Robert Fletcher (Jesse Plemons), a man who lets his boss, Raymond (Willem Dafoe) control his life, but he refuses to […]
The Quiet Place series sees a change of personnel in front of and behind the cinema with the New York set prequel A Quiet Place: Day One. Sam (Lupita Nyong’o) is a hospice patient who is tricked into going on a day trip to New York. She hopes to go to her favourite pizza place before she dies. […]
