Movie Review: 'The Unholy'
The Unholy is a wildly frustrating movie. The film is quite good in so many ways and quite silly and impossible in others, thus why it is so frustrating. Star Jeffrey Dean Morgan is so interesting, effortlessly charismatic and has that kind of shambling, messy, handsomeness where going unshaven could be lazy or a legit fashion choice. Because of Morgan’s appeal, I wanted The Unholy to succeed. Sadly, the silly is too silly for the movie to survive.

American Beauty & Other Suburban Horror Movies
Sam Mendes' Academy Award-winning film is an off-putting exploration of suburban life in America. The film opens with a rather morbid voiceover monologue from its main character, Lester Burnham, in which he talks about his death. The audience is then introduced to his dysfunctional family, which appears perfect from the outside.

Who's Up for Apocalypse?
Apocalypse movies have always been my favourite genre of film — despite the fact that I’m a very anxious person, I find comfort in action-packed movies about the end of the world where commonplace people survive against all odds. The thrill of omniscient knowledge of impending danger while the main characters remain oblivious. The hairs on your arm standing at attention and racing heart beating in your chest as you watch the main characters fight to survive. Defiantly rooting for them to survive despite the low chances of survival and thinking of all the possible ways you would try to survive in those situations. Full disclaimer, I would never want to be in a situation like that, but for some reason I find comfort in imagining myself surviving those possible scenarios. And maybe it’s my anxiety that’s the culprit for me re-watching the same apocalypse movies — I know how they’ll end, and I already know I won’t be set for disappointment.

Super Dark Times: American Psycho For Young Adults
Mary Harron's American Psycho was a career-defining film for Christian Bale, who stars as wealthy investment banker Patrick Bateman. The film has been respected and ridiculed, but it remains iconic in the world of cinema more than twenty years later. The story follows Bateman, day-in-the-life style, as he goes through his regimented morning routine, deals with the frustrations of his job and girlfriend (Reese Whitherspoon), and occasionally succumbs to his inner madness and bloodlust.
