If The Matrix: Resurrections Was Great
Warning! This article contains spoilers for The Matrix: Resurrections Leaving The Matrix is the biggest mistake in all of the movies, and The Matrix: Resurrections is no different. If they must have referenced this part, they should have kept it to an absolute minimum.

The Bionicle Lore is NUTS
Let me take you back to the distant future, the year 2000. The LEGO company is losing money because they lost the Star Wars license, and they come up with an idea for an action figure line. Enter BONCLE, the Biological-Chronicle. So what they’re some kinda robot super heroes? Like a Transformer? No! They went so hard on the lore for this shit, way harder than they had to, and it is nuts. They’re robots, sure, but they have elemental powers. It's a mixture of magic and science which shouldn't work, but it does. The whole concept was based on this dude’s cancer treatment. He imagined that his pills contained a tiny warrior inside to fight the cancer, which is why the Toa, the heroes, arrive in capsules.

Movie Review: 'The King's Daughter' is a Charming Romantic Adventure
The King’s Daughter thrives on being the kind of movie Hollywood doesn’t seem to make anymore. It’s a family friendly, mid-budget, romantic adventure that earnestly evokes similar fare from the 80s and 90s. Blockbuster culture and the Marvel Movie Revolution had seemingly killed movies like The King’s Daughter but here we are. And, even more surprisingly, time has been kind to this genre. The King’s Daughter feels like a breath of fresh air at a time when the smog of blockbuster culture has held a chokehold on the big screen.

"Brazen" REVIEW
Is a little wish fulfilment always a bad thing? Doesn't part of the fun of superhero movies come from imagining that we could that kind of life? We see ourselves in Tony Stark or Spider-Man--not because we're actually like those people, but because it's fun to pretend that we're like those people. It's not realistic, but it's fun.

From The Uncanny Valley to Perfect Princesses: A History of Human Characters in Computer Animation
Computer animation has a much longer history than some may realise. At first used to easily enhance and create backgrounds in 2-D traditionally animated films, it was later used to craft specific sequences, such as the stampede scene in The Lion King. Eventually, the technology became advanced enough to render full-length feature films, and nowadays, computer animation is the primary method used in the production of major theatrical animated films.

What is a Servant Without a Master?
I rate this movie 4.5 stars out of 5. Definitely worth a watch! A movie about society, class culture, gender issues, poverty, religion, corruption, and crime, it’s definitely not a light-hearted comedy. And whether you know much about Indian politics or caste warfare, you will be able to relate to the main character and his struggles.

Movie Review: 'Belle' Explores Grief and Healing with Beauty and Grace
Belle left me a wreck by the time it was over. The movie about a young woman rediscovering her voice years after the death of her mother, hit me like a ton of bricks. Critics try to be as objective as possible but as someone who lost his mother 8 years ago, around the same timeframe that main character Suzu has suffered the death of her mother, my objectivity melted away in a sea of cathartic tears. Suzu’s journey does not resemble me in any other way and yet that shared grief is an unbreakable bond I have with this character.

10 Old Films that are Gold
Over the course of my lifetime, nothing entralls and enraptures me more than a good film. I find myself utterly consumed by a rich text for days and even weeks afterwards; my mind constantly rolling it over in my head or scenarios in my life awakening discourse within me. Being such a great part of my life, it's been hard not being able to share the same love of particularly old films with those of my generation as they seem unlikely to even watch a trailer for one. Normally my prescription for an aversion this extreme would-be all-time greats such as the likes of '12 Angry Men', 'Some like it Hot' and 'Casablanca', but I thought maybe I'd reccomend some films of a slightly different flavour that haven't been tinged by radical cinephiles lambasting you across the internet for never watching. Thus, I present some great films that may be falling out of the culture. Don't worry, there are no achingly slow independant films on here, just simply great blockbusters that should still connect with the average filmgoer today.
