Darren Aronofsky directs his ninth film, moving to the crime-caper genre by adapting Charlie Huston’s novel Caught Stealing. Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) is a bartender in late ‘90s New York. His simple life becomes complicated when his punk rocker neighbour, Russ (Matt Smith), has to rush back to London and asks the former baseball player to […]
What a lovely exploration of African gods, the tradition of storytelling, and Nigerian culture as a whole. And the idea that our “villain” is a mortal who was used by the gods for his stories, desperate to regain control not only over the tales that he lost to them but to make a name for […]
For a story that only has so many big moments – and one that already exists fully-formed in book form with all those moments laid out clearly – I honestly didn’t expect that the second season premiere of House of the Dragon would give us one of them right out of the gate. But that’s […]

This time, instead of diving into a sprawling epic […]
Morbius is the third entry in Sony’s Spider-man Universe. This time the studio brings the living vampire to the big screen with Jared Leto in the title role. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) is a genius haematologist who has a rare blood condition that requires three blood transfusions a day to live. In an attempt to find […]
There are certain films that are difficult to write about without ruining them. It’s easy to explain your thoughts on a final reel twist if your audience is fine with explicit spoilers. But then there are films you don’t want to spoil. Stories with endings you want to discuss but can’t. Surprise twists and turns […]
