It's no secret I love anime, but the type I’m into is usually pretty specific. I lean towards seinen (for adult men/women) or the occasional shoujo(teens/teens). Shounen(for little boys) is always the genre I avoid unless someone literally forces me to watch it. I’ve never been into action replacing plot or the predictable arcs where the main hero is kind, underestimated and eventually unbeatable.

Earlier this year, I found myself searching for something new – something that would powerfully capture my attention. It had to offer a premise capable of drawing me in, one that would make me reflect on existence, on life, and yes, even on the meaning of death. It sounds harsh to bring up death, but there’s no death without life first, and life is a collection of moments that give our existence m

The math classroom feels colder when it’s empty, as if the walls are waiting to say I told you so. I sit beside my parents while Ms. Dalton flips through my worksheets, little paper ghosts of everything I didn’t finish in class. She circles a problem with her red pen. The mark blooms like a wound. “These are simple tasks,” she says gently, which somehow makes it worse. “She rushes. She forgets ste

Salt carved into my cracked lips with every passing second, the sun soaked relentlessly into my skin, and hunger stalked me like the patient shadows circling below. My arms were weak, all fight gone from them. My mind drifted somewhere between sleep and faint awareness. I no longer knew how many days I’d been adrift since the wreck. Two days. Maybe three. It doesn’t sound like much unless you have

I turned 32 on Saturday. I have no kids, no relations, no nobody. So what am I doing watching Zootopia on a Thursday night? I have no fucking clue. Well, that's not entirely true. Zootopia 2 was just released and I promised my good friend Ishika that I would go watch the sequel with her, even though I'd never seen the original. Zootopia is one of her favourites and she promised me that I would lov

There should be a law that prohibits children from being in action movies. Not to protect them from harm, nor to stop exposing them to violent stories and gory special effects that could harm their developing psyche, nor to ensure they're not being exploited by abusive labour practices. No, the law should be there to protect us viewers from shitty action movies. Whenever a child character (who is

There is a distinct difference between representation.... and representation. For me, there is no more striking example of this than Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Before I watched it, I had seen plenty of gay characters on screen. I'd even seen some bi and lesbian teenagers like me. The 2010s were rife with discussions of "queer representation in media," so there were many characters who *technicall

I have been a fan of Sex and the City since around 2010, when I watched an episode on TV with my mum one fateful night where I couldn't sleep. I was probably too young, but most of my media tastes at this point were The Simpsons, horror movies, and obscure British comedies, so sure, what the hell. I believe it was the episode ‘The Power of Female Sex’, where Carrie gets swept up into a life of Eur

Author note: No major spoilers ahead. Remaking horror films from the ‘80s doesn’t always have to be a disaster, in fact, there are times when someone gets it right. The original Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) is considered a cult classic about Billy Chapman (Robert Brian Wilson) who goes on a killing spree in a Santa suit, due to the trauma he endured as a child upon seeing his parents be murde

If Marlow was going to commit suicide—and this time, he really was—he wasn’t about to make some elaborate production of it. He refused to leave behind a situation which needed cleaning up. That meant not hanging himself, not slitting his wrists, and definitely not shooting himself. Sleeping pills were the obvious choice, but Marlow’s brother had died of an overdose, and he just couldn’t bring hims

The little children spun in circles as I watched from them the bay window; one of the many windows in this strange place. Three small girls held hands and twirled in a circle, dizzying me. What happiness in their eyes! If only I could be out there spinning with them, but I am trapped within these walls. These same, dull walls. Every day, I see the same colorless walls surrounding me, eat the same

2025… another year where I thought my life would finally look different. But instead, much of it felt like an echo of the years before. And yet, when I try to look at the good—because there was good—I remind myself that my year was kinder to me than many of the stories circulating online. On the bright side, my health improved in ways I didn’t even expect. My eyesight got better—something I didn’t

If you love slow burn thrillers and wild reveals, then Holland is your next obsessive rewatch. Buckle up and adjust your prescription lenses before you hit play , because Holland 2025 is not your average suburban thriller…. This film is packed with nods from the director Mimi Caves favorite auteurs, and she’s not shy about it. There’s a little Hitchcock and dare I say, a dash of David Lynch in how

For a very long time, Hollywood was described, showcased and everything in between as the biggest juggernaut in the world. Even other countries like Europe or Bollywood were afraid. It is where the best movies are made, where all the greatest movie stars lived and where is the backlot for many movies and tv shows. But in recent times, the camera has evolved and taken a step further into the world
