Run n Gun: "Small Movies with Big Impacts"

The Hidden Animal Archetypes of The White Lotus

Let´s dive deep Into the Animalistic Psyche Behind Every Character This season, set in Thailand, has leaned hard into animal motifs and I mean hard!; Monkeys, snakes, birds, lizards, and more. Thailand’s lush landscape has become a metaphorical zoo for the souls of these characters, each one struggling with their own privileged way to transcend or give in to their basest instincts. Every main character this season embodies a spirit animal. Creatures that reflect the duality of their personalitie

Ishika Banerjee: Really strong analysis omg, i thought the same things but unfortunately to me this season the dynamics were not explored thoroughly enough. I need answers!!

Snow White’s Still Waiting to Be Rescued? Seriously?

The worst part? It’s not even bad enough to be good. It’s not camp. It’s not edgy. It’s just… there. Bland. Like someone put a Pinterest board through an AI script generator and hit “print.” It’s not offensive, it’s just disappointing. And honestly, that feels worse. Alright, let’s talk about Snow White—yes, that Snow White. The OG Disney princess who’s been singing to birds and scrubbing dwarf cottages since 1937. You’d think, after nearly a century, we’d maybe let her grow up a little, right?

Nintendo’s Switch 2 and Movies: Too Damn Slow!

The gaming world’s been buzzing lately, and the hottest topic? Nintendo finally dropping their new console, the Switch 2. As an old-school gamer who grew up with the NES, I’m always hyped to see what Nintendo’s cooking. But when this so-called “next-gen” console got unveiled, I wasn’t jumping for joy—I was just… meh. Honestly, it felt predictable, even a little disappointing. To me, it’s just another half-assed upgrade, like they’re squeezing toothpaste out of a nearly empty tube. Not worth the

Adolescence and the Hereditary Curse of Toxic Masculinity

A Social Issues Drama Wrapped in Dazzling Form Netflix, a platform almost synonymous with mediocre content, has finally delivered a major hit. Adolescence is a four-episode limited series starring, co-written, and co-produced by the seasoned British actor Stephen Graham (The Irishman, Help, Swimming with Men). It’s also executive-produced by Brad Pitt—his former collaborator from Snatch—and tackles highly topical issues of youth crime and misogynistic culture. With such a powerful combination, t

Dude Bro Party Massacre III: The First, Last, and Only Chapter

Dude Bro Party Massacre III is the pinnacle of modern horror-comedy — and don’t worry, you won’t need to watch Dude Bro Party Massacre 1 or 2 to understand why, because they don’t exist. Dude Bro Party Massacre III is both an absurd parody and genuine love letter to campy old-school slasher movies with ridiculous titles and too many sequels. Similar to the framing device of Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, Dude Bro is presented as a “lost 80’s slasher” banned by Reagan, of which the only surviving c

Dude Bro Party Massacre III: The First, Last, and Only Chapter

This is 40 Deserved Better!

“I can handle a nightmare, you're a nightmare every day for me” Judd Apatow’s films basically laid the groundwork for the raunchy comedy boom of the 2010s. And yet, comedies from that era—specifically from 2010 to 2015—rarely get the credit they deserve. Unlike the nostalgia-fueled humour of the ’90s or today’s introspective dramedies, these movies are often brushed aside, written off as relics of a time when comedy wasn’t required to have a TED Talk baked into the script. But the funny part is

Bob Woolsey: Great movie! If you loved Albert Brooks in this, there's an entire catalog of films you can go watch that will show you where this performance came from. He's a genius.

A Product Selling the Idea of Creativity: The Minecraft Movie

A Minecraft Movie (2025) is both a conceptual and creative failure—an adaptation that not only misunderstands its source material but actively works against everything that made Minecraft a digital cultural phenomenon. In translating a game defined by radical freedom and emergent creativity into a tightly scripted, studio-approved cinematic experience, the film flattens a world of infinite possibility into the most tired clichés of family entertainment. The premise is painfully basic: four teena

Ranking Every Supporting Character from the OC (Part One)

Well almost everyone. I’ve recently finished the entire run of the OC, and to celebrate, (or maybe mourn), I’m going to rank the entire supporting cast. Why now? Why at all? These are questions I am both unwilling, and unable to answer. Some ground rules: to maintain my sanity, I had to put a limit on how many characters I could include. So I decided that to qualify for the list, the character had to appear in at least five episodes. Sorry, Dean Hess! Also, I thought it would be pointless to jus

Bob Woolsey: This list, taken together like that, really outlines the various storylines the writers were playing with over the course of the show’s run. It’s interesting to see it framed from this side of things rather than as it would normally be presented from lead character’s perspective. I have to admit, I was never big into the OC, but it’s always cool to see the day-player actors that went on to have decent careers.

‘Drop’ Review: Tech-Age Horror Thriller and a Rom-Com From Hell

If you've ever felt that pit-of-the-stomach anxiety before a first date – sweaty palms, forced small talk, scanning for red flags – imagine that cranked to eleven with your child’s life on the line. That’s the gut-punch premise of Drop, the latest genre bender from director Christopher Landon. It’s a film that begins with flirty glances across a table and ends with a bone-chilling choice. Produced by the genre masterminds at Blumhouse, Drop is a dark date-night rollercoaster that lands somewhere

Any Reaction to 'The Last of Us' SE02?

I just finished the first episode, and I liked the most part. Joel is old, but great. He seems to try hard in changing his character so he can get alone with Ellie. Well play Pedro Pascal, you are such a great actor. The scene where Dina suddenly kissed Ellie was weird to me, I didn't understand the chemistry (perhaps I'm a show-only fan, so I didn't know what they were like in the game). And the way she shouted at Joel…was too much. Adding how she broke the rules during patrol, she is becoming a much less likable character. The setting is still exciting though, the smart stalker zombie, the supposedly dead plant somehow came back to alive, and at the same time old fireflies approaching to revenge, there is gonna be a big fight. Let's see how it goes!

Bob Woolsey: I enjoyed it! I like the 5 year jump, and the new dynamics that's brought to the characters. I also felt a giant sense of foreboding throughout the entire episode. I feel like things are going to get really stressful, really quick.

My Life After Black Bag

London, 11:55 p.m., April 10, 2025. I've just walked out of Black Bag and my personality is changed forever. This sleek, sexy, spy thriller about a husband who has to spy on his wife while still finding time to host dinner parties and fish has inspired me. No longer will I dress like a dud. No longer will I act like a goofball. From now on, I will only dress as sharp as British intelligence agent George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender), if not sharper. I will trust nobody and investigate everybody

‘Loveable’: The Woman Who Scares Men

The newly released Norwegian film Loveable, now on streaming, left me with deeply conflicted feelings—both love and hate. On a personal level, the bluntest summary I can give is this: The female director Lilja Ingolfsdottir has succeeded in crafting a female protagonist that embodies the very kind of woman men fear most—a character who’s both painfully real and thoroughly exasperating. That’s what makes the film so compelling, and so infuriating. Yes, it managed to dredge up memories of some ver
