The Misunderstandings of Gabrielle Chanel in Coco Chanel (2008)
The scene is set. Our preconceptions about Madame Chanel looming over us, the audience. Will she be like I imagine? We all know the iconic Chanel look. The tweed suit, the rows of pearls, but little is known in common knowledge of how she got to that point. Gabrielle Chanel was not born into wealth, rather extreme poverty and abuse. Despite this, a young Gabrielle fearlessly believed in the innate goodness of her father, something we realise on reflection kickstarted her relationship with protective figures.

Growing up and getting boring (or not)
In what part of life do we decide to be serious? For some people, it starts early. The random person in high school not many people understand who is submitting university applications early and doesn't have original jokes. In five years or less, they're employed in a steady job and have a kid and you look at them as you would a car crash: it happened so quickly and unpredictably and it is hard to understand how it is possible from your bystander view.

Product Grizzly
I don’t believe I have watched a Canadian film before until today. I have watched Hudson Bay Company show that used to air, which was a TV show. Hudson Bay Company was really interesting with its history about fur trading between the Aboriginal people and white settlers. Racism was huge problem for the Aboriginals during that time, as well as today. White settlers didn’t believe they were collecting goods so they would raid the Aboriginal traditional lands, which forced the Aboriginals to pack and move a lot. That show was really good, and had a lot of footage to Project Grizzly that was the same with its wild nature shots.

The Irishman is a Little Light in Comparison to Past Scorsese Triumphs
Studio : Netflix, Poster My first go at The Irishman had me walking out after 90 minutes. The big screen presentation came across as just a bunch of people talking out from the screen. It was unwatchable, but after an relatively enjoyable viewing on Netflix, I have a theory. The film was made for the small screen and did not translate on the larger medium. Still, Martin Scorsese’s latest does not rise to the level of his other great works, and I have some theories about that too.

Why Spike Lee's 'Da 5 Bloods' is a Breath of Fresh Air for Netflix
According to Spike Lee, no Hollywood film studio wanted 'Da 5 Bloods', despite the director's glittering career. It's easy to see why it would appear as an affront to major production companies, as the film is not your average run-of-the-mill action flick. With all of his films, Spike Lee's 'Da 5 Bloods' is a thickly-coated in education and politics, all of which appear under the guise of a plot which sees four black veterans return to Vietnam to give their deceased friend Stormin' Norman (Chadwick Boseman) a burial and unearth the gold bullion they left there decades ago.

Because the title of this article is indeed true: I don’t feel any excitement for Tenet at all.

After 60 Years, ‘Psycho’ Remains as Ingenious as Ever
This month, Alfred Hitchcock‘s Psycho celebrates 60 years since its release. You already know its legacy; it’s one of the most famous horror movies ever, if not the most. But, over time, horror has become filled with more gore and startling scares to continue to attract audiences; in comparison, Psycho remains fresh despite the lack of those elements, even if its content was considered very radical for the time. Why is Psycho the classic horror movie it is, and why has the success of Psycho hardly been reproduced?

Movie Review: 'The Short History of the Long Road'
Parents and children are an area of drama that movies don’t explore enough. The rich layers of life in the parent-child relationship make for wonderful stories. Proof of that concept is the new movie The Short History of the Long Road, an award worthy drama that explores the life of a young woman dealing with the dual traumas of lost and absent parents. Nola, played by the exceptional Sabrina Carpenter, demonstrates beautifully how loss and absence adds up to so much of who she is.

Pride Month Movie Review: 'Boy Erased'
Boy Erased is a powerful, infuriating, and deeply compelling work. This 'based on a true story' drama, from writer-actor-director Joel Edgerton, tells a very effective story in a straightforward and properly dramatic fashion. The story happens to tap a deep well of disdain in me, not toward the movie, but toward the subject. As a long time supporter of the LGBTQ community, love to my non-binary friends, Boy Erased made my blood boil just as it intended to.
