If you have read enough of my articles now, perhaps you may have picked up on the fact that I don’t mind a little romance… little being an understatement. As much of a movie consumer as I am, being in a friend group of engineers in undergrad and having done a master’s degree in business, I am often seen as the movie guy. I can even remember being at a party once in undergrad and the host’s roommat

Before Sunset was the film I had been looking for my entire life.

January is always an exciting time for film fans. Not necessarily because of what theatres might currently be offering (shoutout Dumpuary), but because there’s a whole year of films ahead, and we haven’t yet been disillusioned by weeks of cinematic drought. So, I thought it would be nice to revel in this anticipatory period for a little while and outline some of the films that I’m most looking for

When I first heard about a hockey rival romance catapulting into the mainstream, I was like, meh. Not my thing. Funny coming from a Canadian, I know, but sports romances never really captured my attention. Anyways, with the Golden Globes happening, and Hudson Williams' meme-worthy interviews, Heated Rivalry finally caught my attention. He was confoundingly, unapologetically, ceaselessly carefree i

The internet really pisses me off sometimes. Watching season two of The Last of Us week by week has definitely been an experience. I've never played the video games that the show is based on, so everything that happened in the first three episodes has been a complete surprise. I would suggest that you keep it that way if you can. There will be spoilers here, but not just yet. I have some stuff I n

What combination would take down any criminal, villain or ne'er-do-well? For me, it’s the combination of an alien with godlike power that’s known across a large portion of the (DC) universe and some random bald guy in a yellow costume. Superman and Saitama (One Punch Man, in case you didn’t know) are some of the most powerful heroes in fiction. They each have the ability to destroy planets but con

For a very long time, Hollywood was described, showcased and everything in between as the biggest juggernaut in the world. Even other countries like Europe or Bollywood were afraid. It is where the best movies are made, where all the greatest movie stars lived and where is the backlot for many movies and tv shows. But in recent times, the camera has evolved and taken a step further into the world

Last year, no character captured my imagination like Aunt Gladys in Weapons. Played by Amy Madigan, this psycho-biddy (as the subgenre is called) is a technicolour nightmare. She caused chills down my spine. I'm not the only one who felt this way: Madigan's transformational performance earned her a second Oscar nomination. In a horror landscape overrun with deranged mothers, killer toys, cults and

… You end up in a conversation somehow (lucky you!), and discover you both like movies. You, a man at least ten years her senior who is for some reason interested in this university student, how do you catch her interest? Did you say you would recommend the movie Perfume : The Story of a Murderer? No? Well good job, you’re not deranged! What a pity that some people don’t have the same basic common

Sometimes miracles happen in cinema. Incredibly stupid ideas give birth to formidably entertaining films. How this happens is a mystery, but it's probably due to a combo of a great cast, a good director and a smart script that keeps the pacing devilishly (!) fast and doesn't have the luxury of questioning the credibility of the horrible underlying idea of the whole story. How Universal Pictures gr
