★★★ As a massive fan of director Jason Eisener’s Hobo with a Shotgun, I was still looking forward to Kids vs. Aliens despite not being crazy about the alien subgenre of horror. Very few times have extraterrestrial tales been depicted cinematically in an intriguing fashion; unlike last year’s Nope, Kids vs. Aliens opts for a … Continue reading Film Review: Kids vs. Aliens
Film Review: Plane
★★★ (Written by Amanda Davidowski) Gerard Butler has been in his fair share of action-packed movies, such as Olympus Has Fallen and 300. His newest, Plane, is no different from his past roles. When I first saw the trailer for this film, my expectations were pretty low. The title alone already put the idea in … Continue reading Film Review: Plane
Film Review: The Old Way
★★★ The saga of Nicolas Cage and his bottomless filmography continues in its newest edition, titled The Old Way. Joined by American Horror Story: Red Tide standout Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Cage does a surprisingly great job as a grizzled father on a course for revenge. I have to admit that I absolutely abhor the western … Continue reading Film Review: The Old Way

Film Review: Avatar: The Way of Water
★★★★★ I will never forget the first time I went to see the original Avatar in 2009. Working at AMC theaters at the time, I was of course privy to free tickets; I made a family event out of it, sure to travel to Pandora a total of four times while it was playing in … Continue reading Film Review: Avatar: The Way of Water
Film Review: Violent Night
★★★ (Written by Allison Brown) While I will admit it is not exactly my preferred choice of genre, Violent Night will give its audience all it is hoping for and more. The choice of weapons is creative, ranging from a chiseled-by-mouth candy cane to a baby Jesus from a nativity scene to an icicle to … Continue reading Film Review: Violent Night
Film Review: The School for Good and Evil
★★★★ For years, I have been waiting for a new fantasy series that would fill the void of Harry Potter. It may not be Hogwarts, but The School for Good and Evil sure gets the job done! Focusing on friendship and essentially boiling down to “never judge a book by its cover,” this is the … Continue reading Film Review: The School for Good and Evil
Film Review: Lou
★★ In what will definitely go down as one of the most disappointing titles of 2022, Lou brings together Oscar-winner Allison Janney, Jurnee Smollett, and Logan Marshall-Green, yet wastes them on a predictable thriller premise. How many times have we seen the same generic kidnapping story? It grows tiresome to go through the motions with … Continue reading Film Review: Lou
TIFF 2022: Project Wolf Hunting
★★★★ Absolutely bonkers from start to finish, Project Wolf Hunting is a Korean action horror flick with major bite. The less one knows going in the better, as the film is chock full of gasp-worthy surprises. Think: last year’s horrifically nasty The Sadness, but on a massive boat. While this one certainly wasn’t too high … Continue reading TIFF 2022: Project Wolf Hunting
