THE FLORIDA PROJECT AND THE CHILDHOOD SUMMER VACATION MEMORIES

• I. Introduction: Our summer memories often glow with a vivid, almost dreamlike beauty, painted in the vibrant hues of endless days and unbridled freedom. The Florida Project masterfully captures this nostalgic glow, even while simultaneously subverting typical happy endings. We are immersed in the world of six-year-old Moonee, who lives with her young mother in a pastel-hued motel directly in the shadow of Disney World, a place that outwardly radiates a whimsical cheerfulness. Yet, this outwar

Is Hurry Up Tomorrow Timeless?

I'm listening to the album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, as I write this. Let's hope it provides some inspiration. Hurry Up Tomorrow, the movie, is a lot better than what the majority of critics are saying. The Peliplat rating of 5.8 stars out of 10 is criminally low. Yes, it is what everyone is calling it — a vanity project — but that doesn't make it bad. Walking out of the theatre, I felt surprisingly fulfilled. There were only six people in the theatre and I felt like we had collectively witnessed the

6 Horror Films That You Might Not Know About

When it comes to horror fans, old and new, people often recommend films that are widely known in the horror fandom. Especially the classics that are relatively accessible and referenced quite a bit throughout other media. For example, most horror fans know about the Scream franchise or Halloween. But what about horror films that fly under the radar? The very films that people might not even know exist. Finding underrated horror films isn't all that hard, as long as you're doing your research and

5 Skits To Prime You For Friendship

If you're thinking of going to see Friendship, it might be advisable to prepare yourself for Tim Robinson's style of humour. He is not like other comedians. Perhaps you're familiar with his Netflix series, I Think You Should Leave, in which his comedic prowess is on full display. But, if you are completely new to Robinson, I've compiled my five favourite sketches from I Think You Should Leave. These should give you a sense of what to expect from Friendship. Please, enjoy them, and let me know in

Pig (2021) - The Film That Quietly Asked Me To Be Honest With Myself

Pig (2021) shouldn’t work. On paper, it sounds like an SNL skit. A reclusive man played by Nicholas Cage lives alone in the Oregon wilderness with his truffle-hunting pig. One day, she's stolen. He goes to Portland to find her. That's it. That's the plot… When I first heard about it, I actually laughed. I was fully expecting some weird little revenge flick—John Wick with a pig. What I got instead was one of the most beautiful, honest, and emotionally intelligent films I've ever seen. And I haven

The Amateur: A Gripping, Brainy Spy Thriller for the Digital Age

In a genre saturated with brawny heroes and adrenaline-soaked set pieces, The Amateur offers a refreshing twist: a spy thriller where intellect, grief, and emotional resolve take center stage. Led by Rami Malek in a performance that simmers with restrained intensity, this global espionage tale doesn't try to reinvent the wheel—but it quietly retools it for a more thoughtful, technologically fluent age. A Spy Thriller With a Human Pulse At its heart, The Amateur is about a man undone—and then rem

Couples Retreat: Underrated or overhated?

We all have that one friend that tries to convince us to follow some elaborate plot, or invest in some less-than-trustworthy scheme, or in the case of this film, go on some trip so they can get a better group rate. I know I certainly do. For me, this happened back when the majority of the COVID-19 restrictions were ending, and life was starting to go back to some semblance of normalcy. My friend proposed that we go on a cruise and while the trip never happened (mostly due to lack of planning on

This is 40 Deserved Better!

“I can handle a nightmare, you're a nightmare every day for me” Judd Apatow’s films basically laid the groundwork for the raunchy comedy boom of the 2010s. And yet, comedies from that era—specifically from 2010 to 2015—rarely get the credit they deserve. Unlike the nostalgia-fueled humour of the ’90s or today’s introspective dramedies, these movies are often brushed aside, written off as relics of a time when comedy wasn’t required to have a TED Talk baked into the script. But the funny part is

Bob Woolsey: Great movie! If you loved Albert Brooks in this, there's an entire catalog of films you can go watch that will show you where this performance came from. He's a genius.

Inject Me With 10 More Seasons of 'The Pitt'

I wake up in a cold sweat. My surroundings are unknown, all I can see is darkness. I clutch my chest in an attempt to catch my breath, but I fail. I feel the sensation of my throat closing, like an unquenchable thirst. Shakes convulse my body while shivers run down my spine. I know this isn't a nightmare, it's real life. I use what's left of my strength to muster up 3 words to shout into the void: "Need. More. Pitt." I wish I was being hyperbolic, but that's actually how I feel when an episode o

Airheads is the funniest critic of the musical industry ever conceived by cinema

A wildly irreverent Brendan Fraser. A peak-era Steve Buscemi, riding high on his indie cred. And a fresh-faced Adam Sandler, still warming up as comedy’s next big thing. Throw them all together, crank up some ‘90s hard rock vibes, and toss in a plot involving music, crime, and…anti-capitalism? That’s Airheads - one of the funniest, most criminally underrated comedies not just in the filmographies of its leads, but in that of director Michael Lehmann himself - best known as the guy behind Heather

10-Year-Old Me Would've Loved The Electric State

The reality of it all... I can't stay young forever, and with my growing age comes changing preferences. I don't know what I expected to find when I turned on The Electric State. It was the top trending movie on Netflix; Millie Bobby Brown was calling out her haters; and I'd heard about the movie's exorbitant budget. This mixture of trends, gossip, and overspending usually would've kept me away from such a movie. But, for one reason or another, on that fateful week night, I decided to press play

“"The Incredible Burt Wonderstone: A magic show that vanished... from popular taste."

I’ve loved the world of magic and illusion ever since I was a kid watching David Blaine’s specials, and that passion came back in my adult years with Criss Angel’s Mindfreak. So, as a fan and practitioner of magic, I make it a point to watch every movie that references it and this one was a must. Watching this film felt like stumbling upon a lost VHS in the back of a video store: absurd, delicious, and completely ignored by the algorithm of fame. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) isn’t just

ITS COMPLICATED and the Beautiful Mess of Getting Back With an Ex

When I decided to write about It’s Complicated (2009), I knew exactly why. I needed to defend it. It’s not just a great movie — it’s one of the best comedy films ever made. And yet, somehow, it has only 58% on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s ridiculous. This movie is intelligent, hilarious, relatable, and even profound. I laughed my ass off watching it. I still can’t believe how good it is, and that’s exactly why I’m writing this article — because it deserves to be in the top five, maybe top three, of a

You Are Now Entering The Monkey Zone

At the start of 2025, I made a resolution to watch a movie in theatres once per week. In the throes of Oscar season, this was easy to do. From A Complete Unknown to The Brutalist, there was always something exciting to watch. Now, with the award season over and summer blockbusters still a few months away, the theatres are in a lull. Why visit the theatre to watch something I don't care about, when I can stay comfortably at home and watch reruns of The Twilight Zone? My resolution has become less

Are you ready to be ‘cordially’ invited to the next greatest thing since the last royal wedding? Well they're certainly dishing up as much drama, and it's hot off the press! Alright, let’s talk about Bridget Jones' newest instalment, Mad About the Boy. In my opinion its hands down the best movie of 2025... so far, and honestly, the most relatable rom com we’ve had in ages. Why? Because bless her chaotic heart, Bridget isn't living the fairy tale life that Hollywood is trying to sell us; she's li

Where exactly do the MEMORIES we treasure go?

In one of the final scenes of Brazilian director Walter Salles' new—and amazing—sociopolitical vision, we can see memories displayed by the protagonist in a projector. A string of moments captured from the infinite power of spontaneity and shot with the Super 8mm camera of a young lady who was about to say goodbye to her family to test her luck in London.
