Some nights, I scroll through Netflix for 20 minutes and still end up watching the same movie I’ve already seen a bunch of times. You know exactly what I’m talking about. There’s that familiar music, lines you can quote by heart and the ending you already know. For me, it’s...
Most romance movies end right when life would actually start to get hard (go figure, right?). It usually goes something like this: someone falls in love, they kiss, the romantic music starts to play in the background and the screen fades to black. The end, right? What about the stories that begin after heartbreak, after losing...
“Tron: Ares”, the newest installment in the Tron series, has been met at the theaters with a lukewarm response from audiences. At the box office, “Tron: Ares” earned a total of $33.5 million during its opening weekend, a fraction of the $180 million it took to produce the film, which...

Some movies don’t need drama to make you feel something (though I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for a good dramatic story). They don’t rely on car chases or massive fight scenes (I’m not looking at you, “Fast & Furious”… okay, maybe a little but I love you). Instead, they show us something...

As someone that doesn’t like surprises, I am occasionally thrilled when one coveted reveal does catch me off guard. Such as the return of Guillermo Del Toro, whose last project was “Pinocchio”(2022). However, this year will host the next release of the acclaimed director. A film that is an adaptation...
Movie audiences are no longer just watching a film; they’re enduring a visual assault. Across the multiplex from superhero showdowns to espionage thrillers, a disorienting trend has taken hold: the shaky camera, paired with editing so rapid it borders on a strobe light effect. While intended to create a sense...
The first rule of a “John Wick” film is that there are no rules, only consequences. This simple philosophy embodied by Keanu Reeves’ titular assassin, is at the heart of how the franchise has revitalized the modern action genre. By de-emphasizing bloated Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) spectacles and focusing instead on...
