Ghostbusters: Afterlife - A Movie Review
Who are we going to call about this ghost problem? Hmm, I have an idea. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a 2021 sequel to Ghostbusters which appeared in theaters in 1984. A single mom and her kids move onto the unkempt farm of her late father. Upon the discovery that they have a secret connection to the original Ghostbusters, evil ghosts soon take over the small town.

'Hawkeye's' Place In The MCU Timeline Has Been Confirmed

Since its announcement, Marvel fans have been speculating about when Hawkeye, the latest comic book series on Disney+ starring the titular archer, would be taking place chronologically in the current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Movie Review: 'Nightmare Alley' Another Masterpiece from Guillermo Del Toro
Nightmare Alley is a gorgeous cinematic achievement. Director Guillermo Del Toro crafts visuals like few modern directors. With Academy Award nominated cinematographer Dan Laustsen, Del Toro crafts cinematic visuals of remarkable clarity and detail. It’s truly a sight to behold and it shows Del Toro as a consummate filmmaker, a man who cares so much about his film presentation as to turn each frame into a work of art. If you’re waiting for me to offer a caveat, keep waiting. I have nothing bad to say about Nightmare Alley.

No Time To Die
Warning, spoilers, and unpopular opinions ahead! I saw the new James Bond film ‘No Time To Die’ today. It was a good film, understandably so, as it is getting 4.5 to 5-star reviews everywhere. It is excellent as just a normal movie, but as a Bond film, I have a different feeling.

Movie Review: 'The Death of a Telemarketer' and the Uncanny Valley of Mediocrity . Top Story - December 2021.
It’s not that there aren’t truly bad movies anymore but rather that our society has changed to such a degree that it has become harder for a movie to be truly incompetent or terrible. The incompetent and the terrible still exist but they are finding it harder to escape into the mainstream. In their place have arisen movies that are competent but tone deaf. These movies are well made enough to convince people that they deserve to exist but they aren’t objectively good movies. Mediocre is one way to describe these movies or perhaps merely dull.

A Filmmaker's Guide: "Les Enfants Terrible" (1950). Top Story - December 2021.
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

2001: A Space Odyssey's Exploration of Power Dynamics
***SPOILERS FOR 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY*** 2001: A Space Odyssey shows firsthand what happens when the power dynamic between man and machine is challenged, as the entire crew is nearly wiped out by the on-board AI HAL, all because of how he was programmed by man. The scene that shows this best is when HAL attempts to lock Dave out after killing the hibernating crewmembers, forcing him to sacrifice his last remaining crewmate in order to board the ship to disconnect HAL.

The clever clues of the movies I would eventually understand
All of my life I have been surrounded by the media, and I always wanted to know how it was made. My mother would play me the songs that she liked, and she became my gateway to classic movies and the timeless songs that she couldn't wait to play for me in the car. She would tell me the stories about movies I would watch when I was much older about how a man named John McClane said this one phrase that I should never say in front of my grandmother. How Prince was told off by his father and said he never be a musician because he never memorized his music in his mind. I listened to all the stories and eventually would watch the movies at my mother had told me about. But there were some movies that I did see, or figurines or posters and I look at them and not understand what they were at that time, but I never forgot the time I discovered what I didn't understand.

Movie Review: 'The Hand of God'
The Hand of God is a nickname given to soccer legend Diego Maradona in the wake of a miraculous goal he scored while leading his Napoli soccer team to victory over his home country team, Argentina. It was an immense point of pride to Napoli that, arguably, the greatest soccer player of his time was choosing to come and play for lowly Napoli. It became an even greater point of pride when Maradona’s goal was allowed to stand despite Maradona having punched the ball with his hand, something that is against the rules of soccer, for those who don’t know.
