Review: Shazam! Fury of the Gods

“Shazam! Fury of the Gods is a good popcorn flick. I’d give it a solid 8 out of 10. Definitely worth checking out.” – Alvin Tsang

Review: Dune: Part One

“Dune is a theatrical experience with effects that affect the audience. It is a marvel that encapsulates everything you want in a film.” – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Favourite Fake Trailers

“Creating a fake trailer is a fun way to practice your skills at writing and execution, and is a clever way to attract potential funders, for the right project.” – Jith Paul

Categories Jith Paul

Review: I Like Movies

“On the surface, ‘I Like Movies’ is a coming-of-age film paying homage to cinema through the lens of a teenage cinephile working at a video store.  At its core, it is so much more.” – Zach Chabot

Categories Zachary Chabot

Review: Bunker

“Langley’s direction, the stunning cinematography, and the strong performances from the cast make for a truly unique and captivating horror film.” – Lisa Meuser

Categories Lisa Meuser

Review: Jungle Cruise

“Jungle Cruise is a mediocre jovial film with a repetitive storyline and familiarity; a brainless watch.” – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Review: Predestination

“The film nimbly dances around the questions of free will versus predetermination with a side helping of causality to top it off. ” – Blair Campbell

Categories Blair Campbell

Review: Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

“I didn’t enjoy this third standalone Ant-Man film as much as I would have liked to, and I thought it fumbled on a couple of things.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Haulout

“On a remote coast of the Russian Arctic, Chakilev waits alone in a wind-battered cabin to witness a natural event that happens there once a year.” – Jith Paul

Categories Jith Paul

Review: A Man Called Otto

“A Man Called Otto delves into the importance of community, and how connecting with others can drastically change your outlook and improve your life.” – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Review: The Wild Bunch

“The film’s portrayal of women and their role in society is problematic at best. At the same time it’s an extremely well-made and thrilling film.” – Blair Campbell

Categories Blair Campbell

Review: Your Place or Mine

“The two leads in ‘Your Place or Mine’ lack chemistry and this creates some uncomfortable acting in many scenes.” – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Review: Waves

“Like its title, the movie comes at you in waves; many highs and many lows, and never really gives you a chance to breathe.” – Zach Chabot

Categories Zachary Chabot

Event: DiverCITY Film Festival 2023

“The intimate venue and chill vibe made it feel like a small group of friends getting together to make a mix-tape.  This is the first year of the DiverCITY festival and I hope to see more of these gatherings in the city. “ – Jith Paul

Categories Jith Paul

Review: After Ever Happy

“The series is basically ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ for college kids. These movies aren’t for everyone, but they’re fun. Actually they’re not even fun, they’re just plain addicting.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: All Quiet on the Western Front

I wouldn’t recommend this to the faint of heart. It is an accurate depiction of the time and it deserves praise for not being scared to show it.” – Zach Chabot
