Movie Review: 'True History of the Kelly Gang' Isn't About the Kelly Gang
For a movie called True History of The Kelly Gang, the focus isn't much about famed Aussie outlaw Ned Kelly. Assassin's Creed director Justin Kurzel follows up that big budget flop by returning to his roots in Australia. Unfortunately, as his direction of the videogame adaptation went awry, so does his take on the famous Aussie bush ranger.

Animation has always expanded in quality, style, storytelling, and inspiration. But there has never been a series that could do all of that at the same time. A thought that wasn't possible until Netflix released Love, Death, + Robots.

My Review of "Code 8"
Code 8 was released very quietly. It was released in 2019 but I've never heard of it until I noticed it on the Crave movie list. Being a Canadian film doesn't really help its case. It's a shame that a lot of Canadian films don't get as much promotion as they deserve.
