Tom Riddle and the Mysteries of Lord Voldemort

There are seven Harry Potter books and eight movies isolating Lord Voldemort as the strongest dark wizard that has ever roamed the Wizarding World. It has been 28 years since the first book hit shelves and 24 years since the first movie was in theatres. Fans of the Harry Potter movies know who Lord Voldemort is and have been given glimpses into the Dark Lord's past but there is no movie showing Tom Riddle while he attended Hogwarts. It is 2025, and we are still waiting for a movie that shows Tom

Pomohawk: I would love to watch this movie! It’s going to be tough to top Potter Puppet Pals, though.

American Primeval: how a series set nearly 200 years ago resonates with audiences

Why do we always drift back to Western or Wild West stories? Is it the way they capture the old world, what America looked like and how it was won? Maybe it’s the raw grittiness and violence that unlocks some old, unearthly desire trapped within the human mind. Or could it be that these stories are still pervasive today, but in a world so forgotten we must turn them on to figure out how things unfolded almost 200 years ago? If you really think about it, American Primeval shows off power, love an

Lucas Friesen: I hate when shows don't stick the landing! I'm not sure if you're a big reader, but the book Centennial by James Michener is a great Western novel that strays greatly from the natural convention and chooses to go for a more realistic approach to the Western Frontier. I'd highly recommend it! It was also made into a miniseries but I haven't watched that 🤠

Is The Shawshank Redemption the Best Film to Never Win an Oscar?

Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! The words that likely echoed inside Andy Dufresne's head when he was convicted of murder. How? How? How? These are the words that echo through my head when I remember that this classic film never won a single Oscar. With the 97th Oscars upcoming and nominations announced last week, it is time to look back at what I would say is the best film that failed to capture a single Academy Award and discuss what it did well. Held up for its beautiful story, compelling and memorabl

The Saw films: do people really find joy in torture and pain?

Let's play a game. You wake up in what appears to be a bathroom. White tiles cover every surface and are blotted with dirt and grime. It hasn't been cleaned in maybe a decade. Rust covers a leaky faucet that sits alone in the center of the wall behind you. There's a tub full of dirty water that reeks and a dead body is lying in the middle of the room. You try and move only to find out your ankle is chained to a pipe that runs along the bottom part of the wall to your right. You have just entered

Ishika Banerjee: It's me. I'm him! I think this franchise is like a car crash, you can’t look away. No one thinks it’s pretty, but it’s inevitable that we’re drawn to stare or think about violent spectacles, even hypothetically. In a game, it’s because we know we’re safe from them.

How can The Last of Us season 2 build on the first season?

With the second season of HBO's hit show The Last of Us just around the corner, it is time to start talking about what to expect as anticipations for this critically acclaimed show continue to grow. Co-creator Neil Druckmann has said that the story will continue to echo the game's events. He reiterated that they will continue to stay true to the themes of the game while adapting the story for television the best he can. I assume that it will be adapted similarly to season 1, where characters and

Lucas Friesen: My guess is the lack of infected in S1 was a budget thing. But maybe now that the show is a hit they will flood the screen with creepy-crawly infected?

The dark side of the Jurassic Park franchise and why it's my guilty pleasure

There is nothing guilty about enjoying Jurassic Park, and I don't feel guilty watching The Lost World. Younger audiences (excluding my 21-year-old self) may do the same with Jurassic World, but I do not see someone successfully arguing that for the two that followed it. For me, the movie in this franchise that is a guilty pleasure is Jurassic Park III. It is a weaker movie that I can still sit down and enjoy as a guilty pleasure that I don't take too seriously. I know it isn't a masterpiece and

Lucas Friesen: Sometimes, all you wanna watch is some Dino destruction. I get that.

The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox and how the documentary masterfully recaptures it

Being born in 2003, I was unable to witness or properly appreciate the peak of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees rivalry in the early to mid-2000s. So, as any self-respecting fan of the sport, I turned to the three-part Netflix documentary to learn how the Yankees were embarrassed in 2004. I see why Netflix turned this into a three-part docuseries. There is this cinematic feeling that lingers throughout the story. The first World Series I remember watching as a kid was the 2013 battle betw

The movie series that made me fall in love with world-building

As far as I can remember, I have always enjoyed science-fiction movies. Whether it be a classic trilogy, like the Star Wars franchise, the classic Jurassic Park and the sequels that have failed to live up to the standards the 1993 film set. The many Terminator movies that show the true power of cyborgs. Or even the Alien and Predator movies that utilize extraterrestrials to hunt humans for sport. Those movies are all unique in their own ways and could warrant their own post about world-building

Whiplash: A success story of bullying, or perseverance?

This film shows how being pushed to the edge (and arguably beyond the edge) to achieve your dreams can force you to sacrifice the things around you. The two lead characters foil each other nicely and have perfect chemistry. Andrew Neeman (Miles Teller) is a nineteen-year-old student drummer whose persistent work ethic drives him through the hardship under his conductor, Terrence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons), who adopts an aggressive, bullying style of teaching to get the best out of his band and push
