Peliplat | Your Movie Community

Needless to say, the internet has gone too far. Are you sick of it? Cause I am. Does it feel novel anymore? Does it feel fun anymore? Does it feel social… even? I’ve been sitting on this prompt for the entire month. I’ll confess: I was born in 2003, so I cannot speak from personal experience. However, when I look at pop culture today (and what has had staying power), I cannot deny how so many road

Time for another Dispatch! I can't believe we're already halfway through Summer, Peliplaters (in the Northern Hemisphere, that is). I don't know about you, but the heat has melted my brain. I feel like changing things up a bit. I dug deep into the Peliplat servers to unearth some fun stats from June and July. (There's a good chance this is only interesting to me. Oh well!) Let's get into it! 📊 By

Watching movies is a winter sport. When the sun is shining and the temperature rises, sitting inside, staring at a screen for two-plus hours feels borderline illegal. It's like I'm opting in on some sick, twisted version of Plato's Cave. The room is bright, the world is buzzing outside, but I still demand to watch the shadows on the wall. And demand I do! Because, despite the warm weather, despite

Pop quiz, hotshot: There's a bomb on your couch. You start Speed (1994), the bomb is armed. If you pause the film, the bomb goes off. What do you do, huh? What. Do. You. Do? I'd make a terrible domestic terrorist. Nothing says summer like Jan DeBont's mangum opus, Speed (1994). Sitting just under two hours, it moves at such a clip, it feels like 80 minutes. It's a perfect move and I will not hear

Hello all. I've been woken from a Nosferatu-esque sleep, called out of the void of my cigarette summer haze by this very photo. Richard Gere, 76, was spotted getting close with his much younger co-star, 28-year-old Diana Silvers, while filming their new romantic drama, Asymmetry. And I'm not kidding you the very moment I sat down at this café to write this article, an old British man with a gold w

One of the topics that has obsessed me recently is the gap between creating an idea and finally executing it. As someone who loves art in its different forms, I would like the things I create to look more like the things I imagine. I spend hours scrolling through Google Fonts searching for new typefaces, I have too many Pinterest boards filled with emerging visual artists, and I recently discovere

I recently watched Tim Burton’s ‘Sleepy Hollow’ (1999), and wow. It instantly became one of my favorite films of his. Starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci -icons of 90s cinema- the pair are charming on screen, and their connection is undeniable. This gothic horror film is based on Washington Irving’s short story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Tim Burton has always been known for his dark, Vic

Well, the party is over… Montréal's Fantasia Film Festival ended this past Sunday, and it will be missed. I am a volunteer who celebrated his fifth year on the job during the thirtieth anniversary of the event, and I was lucky enough to get autographed posters, stickers, cards, t-shirts, and the chance to have at least one celebrity speak to me (Vera Farmiga, I thank you). As well, as a volunteer,
