A few days ago, I received an email invitation to watch the—erroneously called—live-action remake of the acclaimed animation How to Train Your Dragon. This is DreamWorks Animation's first attempt to imitate what Disney has been doing for the last 15 years. The same amount of time has passed since the premiere of the first installment of a trilogy that, to this day, keeps captivating people from all ages and ideologies. I personally had never seen any of these movies, but today was the perfect da
We can never really know what someone else is thinking; what we understand is always just a perception, flawed and easily twisted by circumstances and emotions. Watching Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal often feels like staying up late alone with your thoughts, obsessively replaying every unhinged moment and bad decision in your life, except with a twist—there’s a camera recording it all, forcing you to face those moments again and again. In theory, that sounds like a nightmare, but as a televisio

2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the most iconic international charity single, We Are the World. Co-written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and performed by 46 American music stars, the song sold over 20 million physical copies and raised more than US$63 million for famine relief in Ethiopia between 1983 and 1985. 46 music stars performed the charity song in 1985 I was reminded of this milestone in entertainment history while I was backpacking through Africa—and Ethiopia was my starting p
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 she flirts with psychological horror just enough to keep you on edge. The Polaroid Thesis: Behind t
In the steamy, unforgiving jungles of Central America, a mission unfolds that no ordinary man could survive. But this is no ordinary tale, for the leader of this elite commando team is not Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch from the 1987 classic Predator.No! It's Chuck Norris, the toughest being that ever liveth.The Predator also known as a Yautja in expanded lore is a towering, highly intelligent alien species bred for one thing: to stalk and eliminate the strongest prey they can find.The Predators
Fiorella Crepaldi: An incredible article!! I invite you to read mine about Snow White "This isn’t the fairest of them all: The Snow White remake that lost its soul" and leave a like if you liked it, it is in another category. Thank you!!
I’ve found that most articles for this challenge are based on action films led by brave, intelligent characters with extraordinary physical and combat skills, risking their lives in dangerous situations—often for a greater good. But I’d like to focus on the other side of the spectrum: the quiet ones. The ones who choose solitude. The ones who notice everything and feel even more. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a 2012 film based on the 1999 novel of the same name, written and directed by Step
Out of all the spy movies that I devoured at a young age, Mission: Impossible was always my favourite. There was something about Ethan Hunt in particular that drew me in. He wasn't a flawless badass like James Bond, but no matter what was thrown at him, he could always figure it out. His competence and total commitment to the cause were what set him apart for me. As an anxious little kid who spent a lot of time thinking about everything that could possibly go wrong, I was inspired by Ethan's abi
Matthew Alan Schmidt: Talk about a nose dive to end off the franchise.
At some point, franchises stop fidgeting. They shed the trial-and-error adolescence and become something else entirely—ritualized, reliable, rewatchable. Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is that moment. The fifth installment isn’t just another spy flick; it’s the final alchemical step where all the ingredients—tone, tempo, Tom—fuse into brand identity. Like the precise mix of the Powerpuff Girls, this is M:I in its purest, most self-assured form. You feel it instantly. This is no longer a film
Ishika: Wow, this was such a fun read. Loved the comparison to the Powerpuff Girls and the idea of the franchise finally "hardening into canon". Also totally agree about Ilsa Faust; she’s not just a cool character, she means something in the way she interacts with Ethan. The maternal reading is wild but makes so much sense once you lay it out. And yeah, at this point we’re all just here to see what absolutely unhinged thing Tom Cruise is gonna do next—like cinematic stunt therapy.
A few weeks ago, I saw the Minecraft movie at long last. Was it a good movie? No. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. I watched the movie in a local theatre with my best friend and 4 other people. It was great! We cheered every time there was an iconic line from the trailer, like “Flint and Steel”, or “I am Steve”, or even the infamous “Chicken Jockey”. (We did not throw popcorn at the screen because we are CIVILIZED!) Say what you will about the writing of the movie, but you have to admit it created a
Matthew Alan Schmidt: The female characters in this movie got shafted so hard. The writers just had them go off and play house while the boys went on the actual adventure.
There are so many great stunts across these eight movies — though obviously, the newer ones have continuously upped the ante in the stunt department. Personally I've got to hand it to the Helicopter sequence in Fallout, but I'm curious to know what stunt takes the #1 spot for everyone else!
Ishika: BURJ KHALIFA
Ever since I saw Bring Her Back, I haven't been able to look at the world the same way. I've been spiralling all week. It isn't fear that dogs me though, it's something else. Watching this meticulously crafted downward spiral of misery on film felt like having my head held underwater. It forced me to look at things that I never wanted to see. Nothing's out of focus, nothing's in the background, and nothing is left to the imagination. It's-- he screams while she pushes stitches through the wound,
Lucas.: I really liked your willingness to experiment. It's like you're reviewing the piece while horrific moments from the movie keep taking over your brain. It's a jarring mindtrip... but im into it.ps. Nothing builds character like wearing high-vis vests in parking lots
Hey, mom. Did you see the trailer for Freakier Friday? It looks fun and nostalgic. Anyway, it's Friday the 13th today, wanna get together to watch the original? Remember when we joked about being trapped in each other's bodies? Here's the trailer, in case you wanna watch it. What a silly thing, to go to sleep in your own body on Thursday the 12th, and wake up in your mother's body on Friday the 13th. Can you imagine? What crazy hijinks we would get ourselves into. Guess you already went to sleep
JennMaxwell: I didn't know we had a Norman Bates among us
I recently watched the popular vampire movie Sinners, and honestly, I really vibed with its dark, oppressive atmosphere. A big part of that sense of despair came from the main characters being trapped in a cramped house as he was surrounded by hordes of vampires outside. There was no way out—just pure helplessness. It’s not that I love being scared, but the intense pressure the movie created pulled me in completely. What really hooked me, though, was the Blues music that ran through the entire f
