Whats to come in Godzilla x Kong Supernova
The Monsterverse, a cinematic universe about the renowned monsters Godzilla and King Kong, has been going for 11 years since Gareth Edwards’ “Godzilla” was released in 2014. Fast-forward to the present, and it’s about ready to stomp its way into its sixth entry, “Godzilla x Kong: Supernova,” set to be directed by Grant Sputore set […]
The Master Dialogue of Martin Scorsese
“Show, don’t tell” is an unwritten rule in filmmaking and storytelling that prioritizes expressing themes and meanings to the audience through visuals, rather than just telling them. Good dialogue often helps fill in the gaps of what’s going on with the plot and characters, but too much of it can overpower the audience with too […]
Five Nights at Freddy’s Sequel Will be For the Fans
Five Nights at Freddy’s has been a cornerstone of horror video games for years. Its subversion of the formula brought in many eyes and quickly lifted it to popularity, spawning many sequels, merchandise, fan games, and even its own movie. The movie rode on the anticipation of many fans back in 2023, with the buzz […]
Jurassic World Needs to Stop Trying
The trailer for the upcoming movie Jurassic World: Rebirth has been bouncing around my head for a while.

Counting all the movies set in this […]

How “Sinners” is Hollywood’s Most Original Recent Release
“Sinners,” directed by Ryan Coogler, might be one of the most creative films Hollywood has released in recent years. A movie with Southern Gothic vampires that celebrates black culture? No one’s ever attempted this before, but with the success of this movie, maybe they should’ve. The creative chemistry between the plot, characters, dialogue, and cinematography […]
Action Movies Will Always Be in Demand
“A Working Man” is an action thriller released this year and stars Jason Statham as the protagonist. The movie is nothing special to the genre, yet it managed to outperform the live-action “Snow White” film at the box office. Disney’s adaptation was an absolute mess and was bound to be a failure at the theatres, […]
Beyond The Spider-Verse Might Take a While
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a breathtaking film that caught the world by storm. Both it and the sequel pushed the boundaries of animation to their limits and gave a grand spectacle like no other, proving that animation is an art form that gravely needs more appreciation. Both movies were fantastic financially and artistically, leaving […]
The danger of the Minecraft movie trend
“A Minecraft Movie” has been a success at the box office. The kids love it, with clips of the movie being memed into oblivion on TikTok and YouTube Shorts. As much as Jason Momoa and Jack Black’s headlined movie has gotten eyes all over it, there has been some bad publicity as well. An incident […]
Movies About Making Movies
If you haven’t noticed, Hollywood seems to love making movies about themselves. Just look at the Wikipedia page listing films about filmmaking. Spoiler alert: There are over 200 of them!

Op-Ed: Why I’m On the Fence about Book-to-Movie Adaptations
It’s always fun to watch a movie adaptation of a book you’ve read before and compare it to what you had imagined while originally reading. Sometimes, a movie elevates what I imagined, but not all books need a movie adaptation. A well-done adaptation can bring your vivid imagination to life. Seeing the Harry Potter series […]
